In the Song Dynasty, the elegant beauty of porcelain had the greatest influence, and Ru kiln was the most famous. This is the result of China's long-term progress and the product of the unique environment in the Song Dynasty. For example, it is a common law in the history of arts and crafts to imitate noble objects with low-cost objects. However, in the Song Dynasty, it did the opposite.
