How to write the origin of coarse porcelain bowls in 40 words?

The origin of coarse porcelain bowls can be written in 40 words. After the mid-Qing Dynasty, coarse porcelain bowls were widely used because of their low prices. If the flour ground by wheat is porcelain clay, then the remaining bran is the material for making coarse porcelain. Strictly speaking, it's not porcelain. It is a kind of substance between clay and porcelain clay, which can be called clay. It is better than clay and worse than porcelain clay.

Why is this coarse porcelain bowl so precious? It is because a great woman, a heroine of the Chinese nation, once used this bowl to send her own sorghum rice to the wounded, only for half a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

The use of coarse porcelain bowls

There used to be two kinds of porcelain bowls for eating at home, one was coarse porcelain and the other was fine porcelain. The coarse porcelain was brought back from the countryside by my mother when I went to town, and the fine porcelain was carefully selected by my wife in the supermarket. Later, my wife and I bought a new house in a small town. When we moved, my mother gave us all the fine porcelain bowls, leaving only the thick ones.

A few days ago, when my wife was sorting out cupboards in the kitchen, she found that there were actually many coarse porcelain bowls at home, so she asked me. Looking at those rough porcelain bowls, I naturally think of my mother. My mother is an ordinary rural woman who has worked in the fields for most of her life. She repeated the hardships of sowing in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and tasted the ups and downs of harvest.

Compared with before, the family conditions are much better now, but my mother is still used to frugality. Take those old bowls for example. Because it has been used for too long, many bowls have been covered with tiny gaps. I advised her to throw them away many times, but she was always reluctant to part with them.
