cizhou kiln

Cizhou Kiln is a famous folk ceramic kiln system in China, which is located in Pengcheng and Cixian of Handan City, Hebei Province, and is the representative of northern ceramics. These areas belong to Cizhou of Zhangdefu, Henan Province in the Song Dynasty, so they are known as "Jingdezhen in the south and Pengcheng in the north". Cizhou Kiln is a porcelain kiln with outstanding achievements and rich folk characteristics in Song Dynasty. The glaze colors of Cizhou Kiln are rich, including white glaze, black glaze, sauce glaze, and green glaze, etc. The white glaze is the most famous. In decoration, black and white contrast methods are mainly used, among which flower painting, flower picking and pearl land are the most popular. Flower painting is based on the local mottled stone, and black patterns are drawn on the white glaze, which creates a precedent for the decoration of underglaze painted ceramic products with white and black flowers. On the basis of colored glaze, the world's earliest over-glaze painting of the Song Dynasty "red and green color" was created by adding color to the surface of fired white porcelain and making it look good after secondary barbecue. The above two technological achievements and artistic achievements alone have established an important position in the history of world ceramics. Cizhou kilns are huge, and there are products of this style in the north and south of the Yellow River. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, this kiln produced a large number of blue and white products, covering the vast areas of North China and South China, such as orchid bowls and plates. Represents the prosperity of folk blue and white. Hyundai has become one of the largest porcelain areas in China, and its products are deeply loved by people all over the world.
