History of China
Krista QQ(www.123giftfactory.com) asked:


efers to the project that with a model of clay, and through a processing of pinching, ring forming and molding, then sintered it under a temperature of 800-1000 ?, thus finally formed into a molding, the model body is non-transparent, with tiny poles on, and it is water-retaining, and the sounds dull when knocked on it.



Pottery can be divided into groups of coarse ceramic and fine ceramic, colored or white ceramic, naked ceramic or glazed ceramic, and the varieties of which are grey pottery, terracotta, white pottery, painted pottery, black pottery and so on, which are full with thick flavors of life and unique artistic styles.

As seen to the discovery of the ceramic flakes produced in late Paleolithic Age that found in the Nihe district of Hebei province China, from now there is a long history of 11,700 years of the birth of Chinese pottery. As early as in the Shang Dynasty of China, the glazed pottery and hard-glazed pottery which initially possessed the characters of porcelain had just already appeared. The contents expressed by the pottery are also various, such as peoples, animals, pavilions and a variety of utensils used in daily life were all been involved in.

At the same time, the appearance of pottery also is a mark of the beginning of the Neolithic Age.



The invention of pottery also greatly improved the living conditions of human beings, it opened up a new era in the history of human’s development.
