内容简介
Beginning from the Neolithic Banpo Culture , China's ceramic industry has a history of over 6,000years.
The earliest Neolithid earthenware with very few adornments mainly falls into three categories: storing,boiling and drinking vessels. By the late Neolithic Age, carving decorative patterns on the surface of earthen-ware became a common practice, and the burnished black pottery of the Longshan Culture~, which is as thin as eggshell, represents the highest technological level of baking earthenware at that time.
The earliest glazed pottery appeared during the Shang Dynasty （c. 1600-1100 BC）. Three achievements had been made in this period. Firstly, the combustion chamber, originally on one side, was built directly below the oven where earthen items were placed, thus heating the oven to a temperature of 1,18000. Secondly,as a result of the raised temperature, the white pottery made of kaolin and decorated with exquisite geometric and tao-tie~ designs were successfully baked. Finally, tile.invention of lime glaze had greatly improved the pottery's impervious, antifouling property.
