Ceramics and Jiangxi (2)

In the history of ceramics, Jingdezhen ceramics experienced the process of germination, development, peak and decline, and the rise and fall of Jiangxi was the same. If you draw two curves with time as the abscissa and rising and falling as the ordinate, it must be almost overlapping curves.

Before the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was little difference in the development of ceramics in China. After entering the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jiangxi, represented by Hongzhou Kiln, began to enter the first echelon of domestic ceramic manufacturing industry. The Han-Tang War opened the prelude of moving northward and southward, from which Jiangxi's economy benefited.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the political center moved south and immigrated, and Jiangxi's economy absorbed huge nutrition and made great progress. It is worth mentioning that during this period, Jiangxi education has made great progress and is unique in the country. With the further development of ceramics and the inflow of Mongolian nomadic culture, Jiangxi has changed the celadon that caters to the preferences of the south, processed white porcelain and celadon, made a breakthrough in unprecedented opportunities, and began to show a trend of leading the development of ceramics, laying the foundation for the official kiln.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jingdezhen's position as an official kiln was further consolidated, and the government provided a lot of funds and human resources. The development of ceramics has reached its peak, leading the country. Ceramics has also become a pillar industry of Jiangxi's economy, and Jiangxi's economy has also ushered in a glorious period, and Jiangyou merchants are well known.

Why do ceramics and Jiangxi's economic development go hand in hand and rise and fall? Because the development of both depends on the human and financial resources given by the state, the fate of the country has caused the phenomenon that human and financial resources are inclined to Jiangxi, which is also the embodiment of the national strategic will in local development. In the long history, the change of national strategy depends on internal and external factors. This is fate, full of unknowns.
