Yuxi blue-and-white porcelain has a long history, and it was initially fired at the end of Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, which represents the outstanding level of Yunnan ceramic firing technology in history. Yuxi, Jingdezhen and Jiangshan, Zhejiang are known as the three major producing areas of blue and white porcelain in China.

Due to historical reasons, Yuxi blue-and-white porcelain declined in the early Qing Dynasty, but in Yuxi, the skill of firing ceramics has continued to this day.

Huaning pottery has a long history, and the firing of pottery can be traced back to the Neolithic Age.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a Jingdezhen Potter named Che Peng moved to the local Wanyao village, built a kiln for burning pottery, and passed on his skills. Huaning pottery began to appear formally in the history of China ceramics, and reached the peak of its influence in Qing Dynasty. Wanyao Village has also become the most important distribution center for pottery production and trading in southwest China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, due to complicated production procedures and backward production technology, Huaning pottery has gradually declined since the late Republic of China.

Since the reform and opening up, on the one hand, Huaning ceramics enterprises have actively adjusted their product structure and improved their product quality and grade, on the other hand, thanks to the stronger demand for ceramic products in domestic and foreign markets, Huaning ceramics has stepped into the right track of revival, which has brought new profit growth space for Huaning ceramics.

In recent years, Huaning ceramic industry has been innovated and developed through inheritance and innovation, and has formed three categories of ceramics: arts and crafts ceramics, architectural garden ceramics and daily-use ceramics, and the ceramic structure and product system have basically taken shape. At the same time, the attraction of Huaning pottery industry is increasing, the number of employees is increasing, and the number of people who collect and study Huaning pottery is also increasing.

Jiangchuan copper industry

Jiangchuan copper industry has a long history, and the history of making bronzes in Xinhezui village and fishing village can be traced back to 600 years ago. In order to meet the needs of life, the villagers used brass and copper as raw materials to forge cookers, washbasins, tea trays, teapots, bowls and chopsticks. With the changes of the times and various historical reasons, this folk craft has been broken for many years. By the early 1990s, only a few artists in Jiangchuan had made cooking pots, washbasins, tea trays, teapots, ink cartridges, bowls, chopsticks and spoons, most of which were for personal use or for the use of relatives and friends. After 1993, due to the expansion of market demand, Jiangchuan bronze culture began to slowly recover among the people. Go back to Sohu to see more.
