What are the characteristics of the modeling and decoration style of Cizhou Kiln?

Cizhou kiln has a wide variety of shapes, and its shape is as rich in local flavor and folk color as its decorative style, which is unique among Song porcelain. Porcelain pillows, in particular, have various forms, and their pictures are mostly based on small scenes of life that people loved at that time. They are full of life interest and have become rare and precious materials for folk painting and folklore research in the Song Dynasty, such as circus, bear play, baby play, child fishing, bird watching, cuju, duck driving, spinning top and so on. These paintings use little ink, but they are full of interest. In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, popular poems and folk proverbs were inscribed on decorative porcelain, and the underglaze black color of Changsha Tongguan Kiln and Cizhou Kiln inherited this tradition. For example, the phrase "many people talk less, and nothing happens early" engraved on the pillow surface of porcelain pillow reflects some ideological consciousness of the people at that time.
