If some works of art are valuable, it must be the external embodiment of the culture and ideas behind them. Song porcelain represents the culture of Song Dynasty, and it is now recognized as a peak in the era of agricultural civilization. After the Song Dynasty, the civilizations of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties could not surpass the Song Dynasty. At that time, the population of Song Dynasty accounted for about 15% of the world population, and the GDP accounted for about 75% of the world. If the Song Dynasty only relied on agricultural production, it would have perished long ago, because there was little land in the Song Dynasty, agriculture was a relatively inefficient way, and its tax revenue could not support the huge superstructure at all. At that time, the biggest commodities in trade were porcelain, silk and tea, among which porcelain was the most profitable commodity.

The Song Dynasty was a very prosperous period in the history of China ceramics development. With the discovery of firing technology and new materials, white porcelain can be fired with new color matching. Most of them are blue, gray, white, rose purple and iron brown, mainly plates, bowls, cups and lamps, which extend the aesthetics of art to all aspects of life, moist, vivid, heavy and straight. With the change of its light, it will present different colors, which are different from the shiny floating light of ordinary porcelain glaze, but a faint milky light, like agate, which is better than jade. Although it is not jade, due to the addition of its raw materials and glaze color, it will emit different intensities of light under the irradiation of light, which is also the most remarkable feature of porcelain in Song Dynasty. The dynamic glaze color, together with the convex edge of the porcelain mouth, dazzling lines, milky white lines, and the ribs coming out of the mouth, create the aesthetic feeling of contrast between reality and reality.

There are not many high-quality porcelains fired in the Song Dynasty, but most of them are imitations on the market now. Generally, the authenticity can be identified by identifying the unearthed traces. There will be mud glaze or flint erythema at the unglazed bottom of the utensils, and some porcelain will have dark glaze, which is oxidized by the acid-base concentration of the soil. It is impossible to imitate the current porcelain. Secondly, through the identification of porcelain species, imitations, whether porcelain species or painters, are relatively dull and lack agility, and the raw materials of glaze color are much worse in use and purity, and the color is not correct. However, the painter who straightened porcelain is very delicate, and the glaze color is naturally soft and rich in color. The collocation and composition between primary and secondary figures are very harmonious, which is also the characteristic of porcelain in Song Dynasty, especially the first-class porcelain will glow under the irradiation of light.

The shape, glaze color, painter and hair color of utensils have different characteristics in different periods. Porcelain in Song Dynasty is dignified, atmospheric and durable. Blue, red and yellow are like countless beating flames, and all colors are intertwined like fireworks. Its porcelain has thick enamel and high opacity, and the other is that the glaze layer is thick but not shallow, with pure color and rich layers, which is incomparable to other dynasties and imitation porcelain. Although it is particularly expensive, it has a high collection value. It is one of the porcelains that many collectors are scrambling to buy, which shows the status of porcelains in the Song Dynasty and its unparalleled status in modern times.

As we all know, the porcelain of Song Dynasty is a period of cross-era development in the history of China porcelain. Technological innovation and the discovery of new materials, as well as the purification of raw materials, made craftsmen at that time burn new colors in the process of porcelain firing, especially the successful firing of pure white porcelain, which caused a great sensation at that time. After all, there were few pure white porcelains in the past, and most of them were off-color. Pure white like this, like a variation, is a big surprise.

In addition, the artistic aesthetic level at that time was higher than before, and the use of design colors in modeling was greatly improved. Whether it is plates, bowls, cups or lamps, they all have profound artistic beauty, which makes these porcelains more popular with the world. Moreover, at that time, Song porcelain had a strong sense of warmth, delicate touch and soft luster. With the change of optical fiber, different colors are reflected and different glaze colors are presented. Like agate, it is an object that ordinary people can't appreciate. Generally, it is only the objects of the imperial court and wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats, which is enough to explain the status of Song porcelain.

At present, there are very few excellent Song Dynasty porcelains on the porcelain market. The use of raw materials and glaze color, as well as the firing temperature, make the Song Dynasty porcelain emit different colors with the change of light source, which is also the uniqueness of the Song Dynasty porcelain, and also makes the Song Dynasty porcelain stand today.
