Celadon, from the Shang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, was fired without interruption, and its position in Chinese porcelain has not been shaken.
Celadon, starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, has made a leap in "quality" through continuous upgrading and iteration, and has begun to have the reputation of "jade-like", "ice-like" and "thousand-peak emerald color".

Among all the blue glaze colors, the pink blue and plum blue of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty have reached the true sense of "jade texture" and are recognized by the industry as the pinnacle of celadon glaze.
"Shuo Wen Jie Zi" also said: "Green, oriental color." From Shengdan, ....Danqing's faith is inevitable".
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Zhiheng's "Drinking Liuzhai Saying Porcelain" said: "Ancient porcelain is still green, and all green and blue are covered with green." ”
The craftsmen of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty continued to improve the glaze formula, increasing the thickness of the glaze, making the glaze closer to the texture of jade, showing a warm and moist feeling of pink and green.

Chinese admire the beauty of cyan and the virtue of jade, and the birth of celadon conforms to people's psychology.
People's love for cyan is the admiration of introverted benevolence, and it is also reflected in the values of "jade" of the Chinese people. Therefore, the "Shangqing" of the ancients is actually the natural philosophical concept of "the unity of heaven and man", and it is also the embodiment of implicit sensibility, tolerance and benevolence.
