A paper on porcelain
The value of ceramic art in life in the early stage of human evolution and development, our ancestors engaged in fishing, hunting, farming and animal husbandry, and used it in the long-term labor of transforming nature with fire. Thus appeared the most representative creation of labor art in ancient China culture-ceramics. I. History and Present Situation of Ceramics Throughout the history of ceramics, ceramics have always existed in various historical stages as important commodities and luxury goods of dignitaries. In ancient times, there was a saying that ceramics were in political communication, which reflected the role of ceramics in social life. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large royal kiln factory has been established to produce palace porcelain for the royal family. A large number of personnel and abundant funds have promoted the unprecedented development of China porcelain industry, and also created Jingdezhen, a world-famous porcelain capital. Since 2 1 century, the rapid development of market economy in China has brought more benefits to the working people's economy, and the ceramics on it are no longer the kings of the past. After solving the problem of food and clothing, people began to shift from practical functional porcelain to artistic porcelain based on spiritual enjoyment. In modern life, a large number of pottery bars have emerged in large and medium-sized cities. Their appearance is not only a simple commercial behavior, or a trend, or the instinct of people's repressed free creative spirit. It can be seen that ceramics can be both practical and educational, and it is a spiritual, practical and daily commodity. Second, the composition factors of ceramics themselves: There is an old saying: "It takes 72 workers to make a finished product" and "making a fire with mud depends on the weather" to describe the technical difficulty of ceramic molding. Because of the complexity of its manufacturing process, ceramics have long been the most valuable category among many technical materials. In traditional cultural thinking, fire is an important symbol of mankind's entry from barbarism into civilization. Prometheus in ancient Greece was praised for stealing skyfire to save the world. Therefore, fire is endowed with a supreme sacred power, and the fundamental value of ceramics made of fire and mud can be revealed through its rich cultural connotation. It can be said that "the main core of ceramic cultural connotation is spiritual factor." Modern industrial society, high productivity, high mechanization and high unified model standard. They all limit the freedom of daily life of human society and the nature and instinct of nature. Therefore, a hand-made ceramic work with rich spiritual and cultural connotation and life interest can free people from the heavy and fast-paced modern life and make people feel the communication between mind and nature without traveling. Relax your tired body and mind, and achieve the greatest spiritual balance through the dialogue between people and porcelain. At present, the word "green" is popular in society. It means that in daily life, wearing clothes and hats, rice and oil, the living environment is pollution-free and harmless to the human body. Ceramic daily necessities made of natural mineral soil and fired at a high temperature of 1380 degrees are lead-free and non-toxic, which is the most environmentally friendly of all daily-use materials and is widely used in daily life because of its easy cleaning and environmental protection. It fully meets people's requirements for being healthier, greener and more environmentally friendly, and is more widely used in aerospace, medical and other fields. Third, the existence value of ceramics in life proves the rich connotation and characteristics of ceramics from the aspects of practicality, aesthetics and social function. The incomparable practicability and humanistic affinity of ceramics provide irrefutable factual basis for the existence of ceramics in life. To sum up, ceramics have always existed in the spiritual field of China people since its birth. In daily life, modern ceramic art began a new spiritual value orientation on the basis of inheriting tradition, which contributed to the rebirth of ceramic art in the field of spiritual practice. Ceramic people should inherit the tradition and carry forward "the oldest modern art".
