潮州,犹如镶嵌在南海之滨的一颗珍珠,数千年来一直散发着迷人的光彩,陶瓷艺术的繁盛无疑是使这枚珍珠更加璀璨夺目的重要因素。潮州不仅是粤东地区政治、经济、文化中心,也是中国陶瓷文化的发源地之一。早在新石器时期,潮州的先民就开始烧制罐、钵等陶器,唐代开始了真正意义上的瓷器生产,宋代则进入陶瓷艺术的鼎盛时期。时至当代,它又凭借陶瓷产业的突飞猛进而被誉为“中国瓷都”。 Chaozhou, like a pearl embedded in the South China Sea coast, has been exuding a charming luster for thousands of years. The flourishing ceramic art is undoubtedly an important factor in making this pearl more dazzling. Chaozhou is not only the political, economic and cultural center of eastern Guangdong, but also one of the cradles of Chinese ceramic culture. As early as the Neolithic period, the ancestors of Chaozhou began firing pots, pots and other pottery, the Tang Dynasty started a real porcelain production, while the Song Dynasty was the heyday of ceramic art. From the contemporary to the present, it is also known as the “Porcelain Capital of China” by leaps and bounds in the ceramic industry.
