This is  when painted earthenware was already commonly used in the Yang-Shao Neolithic culture of northern China. During Shang Dynasty (1523 B.C.-1028 B.C.), the Chinese potters had discovered that certain materials would melt at high temperatures in the kilns to form a glassy coating or glaze, on the surface of a ceramic ware serving to seal the vessel as well as to decorate it.

The Shang Dynasty potters also started making high temperature fired stoneware which is dense and impervious to liquid, a considerable improvement over the previous low-fired porous earthenware.

Chinese civilization began within a major river valley. Modern China itself is a huge geographical expanse. Around 4000 BC, this huge area contained an almost infinite number of ethnic groups and languages. The course of Chinese history, however, is in part dominated by a single ethnic group and language. This history, in which a vast area populated by diverse ethnic groups became, over time, a more or less single culture, began in the Yellow River Valley.

Neolithic Pottery Jar

The Yellow River is the northernmost of the major Chinese rivers. Directly to the south is the Yangtze River; south of the Yangtze is the West River; south of the West River is the Red River, much of which passes through modern-day Vietnam. Sometime around 4000 BC, when the area was much more temperate and forested, populations around the southern bend of the Yellow River began to practice agriculture. They sowed millet, but some time later, the Chinese began cultivating rice to the south, near the Huai River. These were a Neolithic, tribal people who used stone tools. We know also that they domesticated animals very early on, but they still continued as a hunter society as well. Remains of game animals are almost as common as domestic animals in these villages. We know almost nothing about them, for they left no records, and the life-blood of a people does not flow in the archaeological refuse they leave behind. We believe that tribal warfare was common and that they may have had some form of ancestor worship, but these are mere guesses.

An summary update on the revolution of colored ware in the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of an increasing marketplace for ceramics within the late Ming dynasty, many privately owned kilns had been arrange in competition with government ones.

Thus reproductions were being made concurrently by the private kilns and, under imperial patronage, by the kilns at Jingdezhen. Ceramics favored by the court harked back to these produced throughout the reigns of emperors Yongle, Xuande and Chenghua, and so copies were commissioned.

Throughout this period, there have been ceramics imitating Song-dynasty Guanyao, Dingyao, Geyao, Junyao, Longquanyao wares, but additionally blue-and-white porcelain, doucai (contending color) porcelain, red-and-green porcelain, and porcelains with white and red glazes, which copied those produced in the early Ming dynasty.

Chou Dynasty Pottery Ware

Chou Dynasty Potter Jar with 2 loop handles excavated in Loyang of Honan Province

The Chou first coexisted and then fought with the earlier Shang Dynasty, living to the west of them in what is now Shensi Province, with a capital originally in Hao (Zongzhou).

In 722 B.C., the Chou dynasty capital moved east to Luoyang (in modern Henan Province). Its empire was a proto-feudal one with at least 20 “feudal” lords [see feudalism article] maintained by an extended family network. By 771 B.C., the power had shifted, and so the earlier period is now referred to as the Western Chou (Hsi Chou) dynasty and the later period, the Eastern Chou (Tung Chou), which is itself divided into a Spring and Autumn period and a Warring States period

Generous Lacquer: Homeopathic Change, To Enter The Market

1915, held in San Francisco in the United States opened the Panama Canal, 10000 State Fair, Guizhou and Jiangsu Yangzhou lacquerware lacquerware generous both received silver, and subsequently with Maotai, Yuping Xiao Di and said “Guizhou Sambo,” thus Dafang County, known as the “National Paint the town.” However, the tide of the market economy, the generous lacquer has twists and turns, ups and downs several times, and now we are pleased to see that –

Generosity have had the unique geographical and climatic conditions, soil suitable for cultivation of lacquer, the lacquer produced an excellent texture. Generous “big wooden paint” and “well-being of paint”, “Mao dam paint,” “I paint the city” as the four famous paint. Generous paint laccase content heavy, conjunctiva good film color depth, thick liquid paint, moisture content light, acid, alkali, wear, moisture, high temperature, has always been “side of clear lacquer, such as oil, we see beauty head, Dangqi tiger color, to bring fishing hooks do. ” With such a high-quality lacquer is resources and began casting a generous culture of well-known lacquer ware and lacquer ware. Speaking generous lacquer, right in this trade, who has studied Xianjingmaoju Chang Shi Lu, deputy director backs of their hands.

According to historical records, generous piece of lacquer ware production began in the Ming Dynasty Hongwu years have elapsed since the 600 years of history. Yi Xiang extravagant female politician’s wife so that during the passage of Guizhou Xuan Wei, Chu Yuan-chang tribute to a “party matter”, the there are many lacquer treasures.

In time, dedicated and generous lacquer for “Longevity Palace”, “Yoshimori the public” and so on more than 10 lacquerware workshop. Craft skill of its artists, particularly in modeling, integer techniques for high quality in order to type accurately, and seam close together, is known for meticulous craftsmanship. 1915, held in San Francisco in the United States opened the Panama Canal, 10000 State Fair, Guizhou and Jiangsu Yangzhou lacquerware lacquerware generous both received silver, and subsequently with Maotai, Yuping Xiao Di and said “Guizhou Sambo.”

After 1949, the generous lacquer ware from the establishment of production cooperatives, to the formation of state-owned generous lacquer factory, the old artist’s skills into full play, the young artists receive training and exercise. In addition to the traditional process of succession, but also sent people to learn from Fuzhou, advanced technology, so generous in the original lacquer on the basis of some innovation, lacquer over more than 200 kinds of varieties, the product not only in the domestic market, while exports to Eastern Europe.

After the reform and opening up, is generous in maintaining the traditional characteristics of lacquer on the basis of continuous innovation, product development to more than 400 kinds of, access to provincial, and departmental standards title, winning a variety of handicrafts, treasures the Central Museum collection in 1984 has also been selected for the first 23 sessions of the Los Angeles Olympic Games souvenirs.

However, the generosity of lacquer ware in the long history of several centuries, although the creation of a number of brilliant, but after several twists and turns, ups and downs several times. Today, the county has a certain capacity of enterprises is only 3, that is generous lacquer factory, big Fang hair lacquer factory, generous carving factory, are private enterprises. In addition, there are more than 10 small workshops. Once brilliant and generous state-owned factory lacquer discontinued for two years, is currently idle factory, the workers all lost.

Data show that the county generous lacquer sales from 5 years ago, more than 1,000 million yuan, down to the present more than 600 million yuan and tax revenue to provide only 50 million. Such a “report card” and generous well-known lacquer ware is not consistent. Shi Lu Chang said.

Shi Lu Chang believes that the current development status lacquer generous concern, the main manifestations: traditional crafts are being lost. Fetal skin lacquer, hidden flower, flower outline in gold lacquer, black push-ray technology, is a generous lacquer Zhuanjiazhibao. The reason why generous lacquer lacquer ware in China account for a family place, precisely because of these unique skills. But the reality is that fetal skin lacquer is almost lost, and the production of leather and old tires are few artists, young artists a rare opportunity to poetry, let alone inherit. In addition, the reduction in the level craft, design stagnant, packaging, simple, ambiguous position, business order and chaos, College Students Donate Sperm production site and other factors also contributed to the generous lacquerware industry is downsizing the key.

Trace the reasons for impeding the development of generous lacquer were: lack of protection measures for traditional crafts. The late 90s of the last century, is generous and skillful art of old lacquer artist after another retirement, an increase in new workers and apprentices. Handicrafts are mostly relying on mass production techniques to help with the traditional method of apprenticeship, the old artists do not want to teach, new artists do not want to learn, lack of appropriate training systems, business information and skills not focus on experience in the compilation process coupled with fetal skin dirty, tired, hidden flower very complicated processes, resulting in lost traditional crafts.

Meanwhile, the cultivation of lacquer art artists missing, the lack of design talent, as well as generous lacquer art of positioning and market positioning has not studied, in addition to the lack of generous lacquer brand protection measures, which are impeding the development of the key reasons for generous lacquer.

Generous tradition of lacquer ware techniques and industry whether it is allowed to disappear, or continue “chipping away”, or allowed to shine bigger and stronger?

Not long ago, I saw and heard the interview in the county, people see the generous lacquer hope.

Since last year, generous county, the county government loudly that “transmission of lacquer to revive lacquer industry, creating lacquer ware brand” slogan.

The Government’s guidance, in March 2008, is generous and lacquer Association was formally established (for the country’s second home). In the same year in October, is generous and counties of China Arts and Crafts Association, also awarded the “Hometown of lacquer ware in China.” Is currently being formed and generous Lacquer (Group) Co., Ltd., by 3 to 5 years to integrate the county lacquer resources, increased technological innovation, the corporation has become bigger and stronger, the annual output value of more than 50 million yuan. At the same time, effectively increasing technology transfer and scientific and technological innovation, Investment efforts to support non-public enterprises and foreign invested enterprises set up lacquer processing enterprises.

Actively supporting the production of lacquer ware, while trade associations do a good job of self-discipline, and led the development of generous lacquer industry standards, to declare “generous lacquer” geographical indications of origin protection of national certification.

Shen Xiao-chun said the county party secretary from the national industry-oriented point of view, the development of lacquer ware industry, in line with national long-term development strategies; from the county agriculture and farmers need to look at the development of lacquer can promote the agricultural structure adjustment, a large number of farmers planting sumac can promote income; from eco – construction, environmental protection requirements of point of view, large-scale cultivation of lacquer trees, can increase the forest cover and promote sustainable socio-economic development; from the requirements of tourism development point of view, generous lacquer crafts as a tourist commodity, is rich in historical connotation and national cultural foundation, you can make as a “Sambo, Guizhou,” one of the generous lacquer which branch of the nation bloom even more brilliant.

According to reports, generous counties have taken advantage of the natural geographical and climatic conditions, large-scale cultivation of fine lacquer. County Forestry Bureau to the information provided: the eight-county Fort, ternary, constellation and other towns have been large-scale cultivation of lacquer trees, in 2007, have been planted in 2600 on the basis, but also planted 6,000 acres of contiguous, while the establishment of a 200 mu breeding base for lacquer.
