Chinese pottery and porcelain
Pottery is an important indication of the New Stone Age in the history of mankind, and the making of pottery is another major achievement for humanity after the use of fire. Clay is first shaped into any particular form made in various shapes and then dried and fired to harden, and pottery is thus made. Almost all nations in the world independently developed their own pottery making technique. When ancient humans settled down and began a life on farming and animal husbandry, pottery utensils became necessities for cooking, eating, drinking and storing. In China pottery dates back 8,000 years. For nearly all historical periods, Chinese pottery kept improving and leading the world with excellent products. Chinese pottery and porcelain as a whole is a materialized culture, and a combination of the economy, culture, science and technology. In the long history of the Chinese nation, the Chinese made pottery and porcelain goods and explored and appreciated the art of ceramics, which became an inalienable part of Chinese civilization.
Early earthenware developed gradually. They first had the colors of gray, black and white, then some were impressed with lines and figures, and later some were decorated with colorful opaque glazes. The shapes of earthenware also grew from simple to complex and from coarse to delicate. The most well-known works of pottery from early periods of ancient China are the terracotta warriors and horses excavated in Lintong of Shaanxi Province, from the site of the tomb of Emperor Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty. The terracotta army was discovered accidentally in 1974. Since then more than 6,000 life-size terracotta warriors, in which ceramic horses more than 30 and chariots over 1000 have been unearthed from three rectangular pits which were arranged in a shape that looked like the Chinese character "品". Now a modern structure covers the three pits, and they constitute the on-site Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors, Pit No.1 is the largest: 230 meters east to west, 62 meters north to south, and 5 meters deep. It totals 14,260 square meters in area and houses an army formation. The warriors included soldiers, reinsmen, armored soldiers, officers. and generals, some standing, and some kneeling, with some horses among them. The smaller Pit No.2 houses a cavalry formation, with a large number of chariot buried inside. The smallest is Pit No.3, which houses sixty to seventy officers and generals, seeming to be a headquarters, The warriors and horses were skillfully made. The warriors look strong and dignified, with vivid hair, beards, facial expressions, and clothes, including their folds and wrinkles. And the horses are strong and ready to go into battles. The figures were painted with bright mineral pigments, most of which have now flaked. These warriors as funeral objects were made to defend the emperor in the next world. The Qin people must have paid a great deal to build such a terracotta army, but it also left us the eye catching treasure. Jacques Shirac, the former president of France, said in 1978 when he visited the Museum, "One can't claim to have visited China unless one has seen these terracotta warriors."
Tang Tricolor marked the second heyday of pottery in ancient China. The pottery artworks of the Tang Dynasty were decorated with mainly three glazes-yellow, green and white, hence the name Tang Tricolor. This kind of pottery works were developed from the green- and brown-glazed pottery of the Han Dynasty, and they were quite well known at home and abroad at the time they were made. Tang Tricolor works include horses, camels, beauties, dragon-decorated cups, musician figur.es, and pottery pillows. Among them the tri-colored horses are the most common, and the tri-colored camels are the best. The camels, usually carrying silk or musicians on their backs, were led by red-bearded and blue-eyed Tartars from central Asia, who wore narrow-sleeved gowns and hats with brims turned up. These figures remind people of the scenes on the ancient Silk Road. The tri-colored pottery works have been in production for more than l,300 years, and they have incorporated features of other art forms, such as traditional Chinese painting and sculpture.
