Why is the word china called porcelain？
In the history of humans, ceramics have always been an important invention in ancient China. After Portugal opened new shipping routes, porcelain spread to Europe. At that time, the European upper class was very fond of tea, silk, and porcelain from China.
Queen Mary II of England at that time set up many glass cabinets in the palace to display various porcelain. Gradually, Chinese porcelain spread widely in Britain and continental Europe. Therefore, porcelain china in English gradually refers to China.
Although Italy, Spain, Brazil, India, Japan, Indonesia, etc. can now produce ceramics, China is still the country with the highest ceramic production in the world. In 2005, China’s total ceramic production reached more than 96 million tons, accounting for 52% of the world’s total production, and its exports were US$5 billion. Ranked second in the world. Accounting for 17% of the world’s total ceramic exports, the output of architectural ceramics, bathroom ceramics, daily ceramics, and artistic ceramics ranks first in the world. There are many place names in China that are closely related to ceramics.
Chaozhou is the Porcelain Capital of China, Dehua is the World Ceramic Capital, Jingdezhen is the birthplace of blue and white porcelain, etc. Most of these places are engaged in porcelain-related industries with high output. Take Dehua, the porcelain capital of the world, as an example. Dehua is located in the central and southern part of the vicinity, not far from Quanzhou Port. At that time, the bulk exports of Zhejiang Longquan celadon and Jiangxi Jingdezhen celadon were shipped from Quanzhou Port, so they had a great influence on the production of Dehua porcelain. Dehua porcelain craftsmanship was first introduced to Jianou in northern Fujian and became famous in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Dehua white porcelain has achieved brilliant achievements all over the world. A large number of Dehua products from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty have been found in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan. The French praised it as China White, which they considered to be the finest Chinese porcelain. Hundreds of years later, porcelain is still the main industry of Dehua, a small county with only 330,000 people.
With the rapid development of the economy, people used electric kilns to replace old porcelain kilns, and machines replaced people to complete the time-consuming and laborious processes of drawing embryos and drawing embryos. China’s daily ceramics account for about 70% of the world’s total, artistic ceramics account for 65% of the world’s total, and architectural ceramics account for one-half of the world’s total output.
