The value of craftsmanship is embodied in innovation, innovation does not need to be deliberate, it is the natural outpouring of the creator's understanding of traditional culture and grasp of the characteristics of the times.

In ancient times, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the transportation of materials was restricted, so the production of ceramics was generally made of local materials, so kilns in different regions were formed in history. Due to the political background and cultural customs in which these kilns are located, they have formed different regional cultural characteristics. For example, Xingyao's "snow-like" white porcelain products catered to the aesthetic concept of the "Shangbai" culture of the northern nomads at that timeThe "jade-like" porcelain of the Yue kiln caters to the concept of "Bide and jade" of literati doctorsThe Qingbai porcelain of Jingdezhen not only has the texture effect of jade, but also the effect of its gold and silverware-like printing and engraving process, which can also satisfy more people's desire to possess precious handicrafts, so the appearance of Qingbai porcelain quickly became the fashion at that timeCizhou kiln is the largest folk kiln in ancient China, its production of makeup clay white porcelain, decorative pictures are mostly taken from the life sketches that people like to see at that time, rich in life interest and sense of humor, more reflect the characteristics of the social classes such as small people and merchants in the north at that time, rich in local flavor and folk color.

Since the Song Dynasty, Cizhou kiln has been the largest production scale of folk kilns in China, with rich and colorful artistic styles, which not only influenced the development of Japanese pottery, but also influenced the pioneers of modern American ceramics like Peter Vaux, whose popularity, practicality and ornamentality are unique in the series of famous Chinese ceramic kilns. After thousands of years of tempering, the shape of the utensils, the decoration techniques of cosmetic clay and white porcelain, and the theme patterns of Cizhou kiln have formed a complete and unique ceramic cultural system. In particular, the combination of white makeup soil and black glaze makes the black and white language maximize the artistic characteristics.
