The Elementary Research Of The Porcelains Of Yuan Dynasty In Inner Mongolia And Northeast

In the background of the unity by Yuan Dynasty,the exploration of the North boundary has entered a new stage of development. On the one hand, the level of Porcelain crafts had developed in the basis of The Liao and Jin dynasty. On the other hand, We should pay more attention on those different types of Porcelains made in many porcelain workshops which lived in The Middle and South. These materials mentioned in this essay were collected from Archaeological excavations and Museum Collections. It has a great important academic significance to reveal the economic and cultural exchanges between the inner and the North boundary in the way of reconstruction the transportation net of those Porcelains. The reconstruction should be based on the careful examination of those Porcelains'types and birthed place.The majority of porcelains of Yuan Dynasty in Inner Mongolia and Northeast were imported from the Central Plains and southern Regions. The major types that may be identified include Cizhou,Longquan,Jingdezhen,Jun,Gangwa,Yaozhou,Huo. Origins of a few others cannot be identified. These wares include various types, such as celadon, white porcelains, blue-and-white, under glazered porcelains, and other various glazed wares, such as egg-white, bluish-white, black, peacock blue, and red-and-green overglaze enamels.The most significant Cizhou type wares include bowls, dishes, basins, round bowls, vases, and lids. The main types include black, white, peacock blue, a white ground with red-and-green colors. Longquan kiln types include bowls, dishes, stem cups, jars with lotus leaf-shaped lids, tripod zun censers. The clay body is refined, hard, dense, and when fired reaches an extremely high degree of vitrification. Glazes are usually thick with gleaming surfaces, and firmly fused with clay bodies. Glaze hues vary from greenish gray and jadeite green. Jingdezhen kiln porcelain types may be divided into bluish-white glaze, egg-white glaze, blue-and-white, and underglaze red, with the foremost two the most popular. The most significant Jun type wares include bowls, dishes. Most glazes are thick, some with traces of serious dripping. Glazes typically do not continue to the bottom of vessels and thickens like waves where the stop. Frequently witnessed glaze colors include moon-white, sky-blue, dark blue. The ceramic wares relatively small come from Gangwa, Huo, Yaozhou.The porcelains unearthed in Inner Mongolia and Northeast were mostly made in other regions, so it's important to discuss the input channels. The grains transported from South to North in 3 ways: by sea, by river,by Carriage.I think that they should also apply the same way to transport porcelains. The Capital of Yuan Dynasty was the distributing centre of porcelains. Yuan Upper Capital was the second important transfer station.
