China is a country with an ancient civilization. As early as some 8.000 years ago when it was still at the beginning of the Neolithic age Chinese ancestors had already invented pottery on this vast stretch of land.

In the middle of the Shang Dynasty dated back to 3,000 years or so,proto-porcelain appeared and,toward the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty(25-220),really mature porcelain ware was created.

The emergence of red,grey,painted,white,black pottery and the coming into existence of proto-porcelain,celadon,black,white porcelain and later on even multi-colour-glazed porcelain,underglazed colour,overglazed colour,etc.have all manifested themselves an uninterrupted course along which the Chinese ceramics has been developed for 8,000 years. Ever since the Tang Dynasty(618-907),the Chinese ceramic articles have begun to be exported to various parts of the world. China's porcelain-making technology,her extraordinary achievements scored in terms of artistry, and their spread to and influence on lots of countries and regions the world over have pushed forward the development of ceramic industry and related culture in the world as a whole,incontrovertibly showing that china is worthy of the good reputation of "kingdom of Porcelain"in the history of mankind.
