Celadon can be said to be the representative of porcelain in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and its beauty, texture and luster are indeed better than white porcelain. White porcelain is as white as jade, and its color is better than snow. The ancients loved jade, and everything was not as beautiful as it was, but as clean as ice, which further extended people's temperament and virtue, such as flawless white walls, clean and cool. This is essentially different from the glitz that advocates cumbersome luxury in the later period.
Porcelain in the Tang Dynasty is not only bright and clean, but also symbolizes the fullness and harmony of human nature. Cool colors are better and more elegant.

In addition to celadon and white porcelain, there are also common porcelains such as secret colors and yellow pomelo in the Tang Dynasty. More artifacts are mainly jade, which fully shows people's preference for jade at that time. Secret porcelain is not only as bright as ice, but also famous for its smoothness to the point where the bottom of the bowl is filled with water.

On the contrary, it is more peaceful and elegant, and it looks like jade, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. Porcelain in the Tang dynasty is full of elegance, and elegance does not forget to add a little brilliance and sharpness. Therefore, elegance and magnificence are completely complementary to each other in the porcelain art of the Tang Dynasty.
