“Chinese ceramic culture boasts a long history of development. In the early years of the Neolithic Age, our ancestors began to make daily-use ceramics. In the period of Yangshao culture painted pottery emerged, which, as the carrier of national culture, embraced the unique aesthetic connotation of ancient Chinese ceramics … Traditional Henan ceramics, as a symbol of profoundness and simplicity of ceramic art of the Central Plains, has given birth to the unique connotation of Chinese ceramic art, and provided the mind gene and image basis for the innovation of the modern ceramic art.”
