The relationship between Chinese ceramics and World cultural Trends 2

Japan was greatly influenced by China's porcelain making technology. The earliest Seto kiln imitated the black glaze tea cup in the Song Dynasty of China, and later imitated celadon. In the 14th century, the imitation was successful. Today's Japan still continues the tradition of China's Song Dynasty, attaching importance to the culture of tea ceremony and the making of tea sets.

The imitation of blue and white porcelain around the world, with Turkey, Iran and Vietnam and other countries are the best. China has a close relationship with Vietnam since ancient times. As early as the 15th century, Vietnam hired Chinese ceramic artisans to teach their skills. Under the influence of Chinese porcelain technology, Vietnam also fired a lot of blue and white porcelain with Chinese characteristics, especially the Yuan blue and white porcelain imitated in the late 14th century, which is very similar in shape and pattern, almost indistinguishable from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

 

Since the 7th century, a large number of Chinese porcelain has been exported to other countries. It is not only cheap and fine, but also because porcelain with Oriental characteristics can replace wood and expensive metal ware as daily cooking utensils. At the same time, it can also be displayed as works of art in palaces and gardens to show the identity of its owners. At that time, the upper class of the world was especially proud of the collection of Chinese porcelain, which was an important social and cultural background to promote the imitation of Chinese porcelain in various countries.
