Jingdezhen is the representative and symbol of "the country of porcelain". It has a long history of making porcelain, and its exquisite porcelain is world-famous, so it has the reputation of "the capital of porcelain". Jingdezhen has a long history of producing ceramics. White porcelain as white as jade was burned in the Tang Dynasty, so it was called "fake jade". In the Song Dynasty, it was given a royal honor, that is, Jingdezhen was given the title of Emperor Song Zhenzong, so Jingci became famous all over the world. Later, after three generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it became the national porcelain-making center, where all the kilns in the world gathered. During the Qing, Kang, Yong and Gan Dynasties, the development of Jing porcelain reached its peak in history. More than 2, years of porcelain-making history, rich ceramic resources, gorgeous ceramic art, and profound accumulation of ceramic culture and skills have established Jingdezhen as a world-recognized porcelain capital.

in the Han dynasty, Jingdezhen fired "celadon" with glaze on its surface on the basis of the original porcelain of Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the pottery production in Xinping Town had gradually transitioned to porcelain. Although the firing temperature was not very high at that time and the quality of the products was not inferior, the style and glaze color had reached a high level, and Xinping Town became famous. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a veritable porcelain was fired here, and a leap from pottery to porcelain was completed.

the history developed to the song dynasty, where there were many famous kilns in the north and south, especially the five famous kilns of Ru, Guan, Jun, Ding and Ge. The porcelain production in Jingdezhen also entered a brand-new period. Since the song dynasty, Jingdezhen has created a new variety called celadon, which is white in green and blue in white, and its glaze color is moist and shiny like jade. Under the warm glaze color, it is carved and flowered. The yuan dynasty set up a floating beam porcelain bureau in Jingdezhen to supervise the production of porcelain. The firing technology of northern pottery kilns also spread here with craftsmen from the south. The ceramics in Jingdezhen burned more and more white, and the glaze on the porcelain blank gradually became the same color as goose eggshell. People called this kind of porcelain egg white porcelain. The Privy Council, the highest military body in the Yuan Dynasty, often customized this kind of white porcelain, so some people called it the official porcelain.

Jingdezhen kiln in the Yuan Dynasty rose rapidly on the basis of the production of blue and white glaze in the Song Dynasty. By the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, the white porcelain firing technology in Jingdezhen had reached a perfect level. One of the most remarkable achievements is the burning of mature blue and white, underglaze red and various monochromatic glaze varieties. In particular, the discovery of kaolin and the widespread use of the binary formula of porcelain stone and kaolin have improved the physical properties of porcelain, made the firing temperature of porcelain reach above 13 degrees Celsius, and produced epoch-making high-temperature hard porcelain in the history of world ceramics. Then, an underglaze color technique of drawing patterns on a plain white blank appeared-painting on a porcelain blank with cobalt material, then covering it with transparent glaze, and firing it at a high temperature. The fired porcelain is white and delicate, emitting a beautiful and charming blue-and-white tone, and it will sound like silverware when tapped lightly. This is the world-famous blue-and-white porcelain. As soon as China blue-and-white porcelain appeared, it was immediately regarded as the most precious treasure and collection by various Islamic countries and Sudan. Supplementary answer to the accusation: In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, made Nanjing its capital. Jingdezhen set up an imperial ware factory, which was appointed by the imperial court to supervise pottery and invested by the state to burn sacrifices and daily necessities for the royal family and court ministers. On the premise of meeting the needs of the court, Jingdezhen produced the most exquisite porcelain in the world at that time, and Jingdezhen ushered in a prosperous period of porcelain-making industry.

In terms of varieties, the extraordinary splendour of Ming porcelain is unprecedented. During this period, thin-shell porcelain as thin as eggshell and as light as silk yarn was successfully created, as well as various porcelain blackboard books with different sizes and rich decorative patterns. There are also all kinds of antique porcelain that are exquisite and can be confused.

At the beginning of the 15th century, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, carried a large number of silks and porcelain made in Jingdezhen, and made seven trips to countries in South Asia and West Asia, which were then known as the West Ocean, which triggered an upsurge of China's overseas trade.

One hundred years after Zheng He's voyage to the West, the Portuguese bypassed the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa and entered the Indian Ocean, opening up a new route from Europe to the East. In 1513, the first Portuguese merchant ship arrived in Guangzhou. Since then, Jingdezhen porcelain has entered the European market in large quantities with European merchant ships. Subsequently, porcelain-making technology began to enter France, Japan, South Korea and other countries.

in 1369, the Ming dynasty government supported Jingdezhen porcelain production with state financial resources, and established an imperial ware factory in Zhushan area of the town to burn porcelain for the imperial court. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen porcelain industry completely got rid of the subordinate position of agricultural production and became a handicraft industry with detailed division of labor.

in 1644, the emperor shunzhi of the Qing dynasty entered the customs, inheriting the Forbidden City built by the Ming emperors and their imperial ware factory in Jiangxi. During the 15 years when the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were in power, Jingdezhen's ceramic industry entered a heyday again.

Jingdezhen porcelain in the Qing Dynasty not only inherited the crafts and varieties of the Ming Dynasty, but also created many inventions. For example, the blue-and-white porcelain in Kangxi was sapphire blue, which was more vivid and pure than that in the Ming Dynasty and had a unique style. Overglaze multicolor is more colorful, with clear patterns and bright colors than that of Ming Dynasty because of the invention of overglaze blue color and ink color. The variety of fighting colors is also more than that of Ming dynasty, and the green glaze firing in Yongzheng period reached the most mature stage in history; What's more valuable is that many valuable new varieties have been successfully created. For example, on the basis of Kangxi's multicolored colors, a pastel with "glass white" as filler was created to make the picture soft and three-dimensional; Introduce foreign color materials, which are specially used for the enamel color of palace imperial vessels; Decorate the golden color of porcelain directly with gold; Adding other different components to the monochromatic glaze makes it flow and change at high temperature, forming a colorful and colorful "kiln change" and so on. Others, such as ink color, black gold glaze, sky blue glaze, coral red, pine green glaze, carmine and so on, also came into being. In addition, during the Kangxi period, the production of copper red glaze, which had almost been lost since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, was resumed, among which Lang Yaohong and cowpea red were the most famous. In a word, the quality, shape and glaze of Jing porcelain in Qing Dynasty reached an unprecedented level and entered a brand-new realm. In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial ware factory of the Ming Dynasty was changed to the imperial kiln factory, and officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were appointed to supervise the production. At this time, the porcelain-making skills became more and more exquisite and the varieties became more colorful. Linglong Porcelain, Pastel Porcelain and High Temperature colored glaze, among the four famous porcelains in Jingdezhen, developed during this period.

in the late Qing dynasty, Jingdezhen ceramic production was challenged by foreign porcelain. Due to social unrest and years of war, especially after the Opium War, frequent wars, political turmoil, foreign trade invasion, shrinking market, the production of jingci was also severely damaged, and the production of ceramics plummeted. The imperial factory, which lasted for more than 5 years, also died. During the period of the Republic of China, the society was still uneasy, warlords fought and the people were miserable. Especially during the Japanese invasion of China, Jingdezhen was bombed by Japanese planes many times, and the blank workshops and kiln houses were damaged in a large area. Only 33 porcelain kilns in the town were able to pay business tax, which was in a dying state, and the whole porcelain industry production fell into a trough. However, there are oases in the desert. In this depressed era, the production of porcelain industry has made some progress in operation, such as the emergence of more advanced methods such as pedal pulley, hand-operated glaze crusher, gypsum model casting blank, fog blower and glaze blowing. Especially in the second year of Xuantong in the late Qing Dynasty, Jiangxi Porcelain Company was established in Jingdezhen, which marked that Jingdezhen ceramics entered an enterprise era and showed the seeds of capitalism. This company is diversified in design, with many innovations and exquisite production. At the same time, it has carried out a series of technological innovations, such as mechanical production, decal paper colored porcelain, burning with coal instead of firewood, etc., which has great promotion. During the Republic of China, Du Chongyuan, a reformer of porcelain industry, devoted himself to the reform of Jingdezhen's ceramic industry. He advocated the revitalization of Jing Porcelain, established the Ceramic Industry Administration Bureau and became its own director. Recruit talents from other places, train porcelain workers, and formulate various measures to reform the ceramic industry, so as to promote Jingdezhen porcelain production to glow with vitality.
