The Original Porcelain Origin Of The Shang And Zhou Study

Chinese archaic civilization with a long history is the only civilization which has independent origin and consecutive development. Thereinto, as the important composing part the invention and facture of china contribute to world civilization enormously. Protoporcelain is a kind of multi-epoch and multi-culture-area ceramic hangover with iterative appearance, and it is the important interim of the development from pottery to porcelain. Therefore, its origin, development and prevalence problems which relate directly to china development mode and Shang Zhou culture visage are the important discussion of archaeology, ceramic technic history and chemistry history and have important learning value. The archaeological data shows definitely that the glaze,texture-hard, low sop up Protoporcelain had been fired in the Shang Zhou period since three thousand years before. This kind of Protoporcelain was discovered during the An Yan Yin Xu excavation in1929. A large number of Shang Zhou Protoporcelain excavated in succession from Chinese southward and northward in resent 80 years. Since the Protoporcelain was discovered, the related research, especially the producing area problem, has not be interrupted. There are two standpoints usually, some people consider that Chinese Protoporcelain come from the southward areas such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang and then promulgate the northward Yellow River drainage area and southward Zhu River drainage area, the others think that Chinese Protoporcelain come from the northward Yellow River drainage area and southward the Changjiang River drainage area mostly at the same time and then promulgate the Zhu River drainage area. There has not the last word yet, since these two opinions have reasons respectively.Recently, the chemistry component analysis becomes more important in ancient ceramics research. Usually, the material of ancient ceramics are acquired locally, so they have the obvious local characteristics. Therefore, the element composition and content and isotope ratio of samples which come from various areas are different. Especially the trace elements are preserved in the chinaware unchangeably without factitious factor because they have nothing with the quality of chinaware. These trace elements are applied in the ancient ceramics producing research as the 'chemistry fingerprint'.This article gropes for some methodology problems of ancient ceramics technical analysis, discuss the archaeology samples analysis in lossless and loss conditions, carry some related research work and acquire some satisfying results.By the ICP and INAA analysis of trace elements of porcelain excavated in Jiangxi Wuchen, Zhenzhou,Zhejiang Huangmeishan and Shandong Daxinzhuang sites, the multi statistical analysis results in a comprehensive and systemic research show that the combination characteristics of trace elements of southward and northward are different and pottert including some impress-pottery is also differ from porcelain.Combined decades and archaeology background, the contrast analysis of the...
