Hello, this is Yang Jiaxin. In last episode, we learned the history of China's earliest porcelain - primitive porcelain.Today, let's explore the world of white porcelain.

大家好，我是杨佳欣。在上一期的节目中，我们认识了中国瓷器的鼻祖——原始瓷。今天，就让我们跟着镜头，一起走进白瓷的世界吧。

China's Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern dynasties (220-589) witnessed the most frequent regime changes. Due to wars and conflicts, Henan's porcelain production was also hindered. However, in the Northern Dynasty (386-581), white porcelain appeared and exerted a great influence on the later porcelain.

魏晋南北朝（220-589年）是中国历史上政权更迭最频繁的时期。由于长期的封建割据和连绵不断的战争，中原一带的瓷器生产也遭到严重破坏。然而，到了北朝时期，却出现了一种独特、而且对后世有着深远影响的陶瓷品种——白瓷。

White porcelain appeared in the late Northern Dynasty, boosting a history of more than 1,500 years. Its appearance ended the dominant role of celadon porcelain played in China since the Shang Dynasty (16th-11th century BC). White porcelain wares unearthed from the tomb of Fan Cui of the Northern Qi Dynasty, are the earliest ones ever seen in today's China.

白瓷历史悠久，烧于北朝晚期，距今已有1500余年的历史。白瓷的出现打破了自商代以来，青瓷一统天下的局面。河南安阳北齐范粹墓出土的白瓷，是中国迄今能所能见到的最早的白瓷。

This is a white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), not only beautiful in shape, but also excellent in quality. Entirely covered in fine white glaze, it almost meets the standards of today's white porcelain.

我们现在看到的是一件唐朝时期的白瓷，不仅造型优美，而且瓷质优良，通体施白釉，釉层细腻透明，近乎达到了现代白瓷所要求的工艺标准。

Henan has been able to produce high-quality white porcelain since the Northern Dynasty. Gongyi kiln and Xiangzhou kiln in Henan were famous nationwide at that time and had a lasting influence on the later porcelain firing techniques. During the Sui (581-618) and Tang dynasties, white porcelain wares produced by Xingyao kiln in Hebei province and Gongyi kiln in Henan province were the best. Not only was Gongyi kiln a best producer for white porcelains in Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty, but also the one producing royal white porcelain during the Kaiyuan period (713-741) of the Tang.

河南白瓷精品出现在北朝，巩义窑和相州窑都曾烧制出非常精致的白瓷，对中国古代瓷器的烧造有着非常深远的影响。到了隋、唐时期，尤以河北邢窑与河南巩义窑所产的白瓷质量最为精致。巩义窑不仅是唐代中原地区白瓷制造水平最高的窑口，而且还是文献记载河南府开元年间贡白瓷的产地。
