The long history of this ceramic metropolis is so arranged in this museum that "it takes one hour to enjoy looking at famous porcelain wares of different ages over the past thousand years". History books read: Jingdezhen started porcelain manufacturing in late Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were Tao kiln and Huo Kiln whose wares were noted for their quiet and smooth colors and enjoyed the reputation of being "false jade wares". From Five Dynasties to Song Dynasty, kilns were all over the town and on both sides of the South River on the outskirts. In Five Dynasties, the quality of white porcelain wares already reached present day standard. "Ying Qing" (misty blue) wares of Song Dynasty stood out for fine paste, smooth color and being good-looking. Therefore, it became the place of origin for the family of misty blue porcelain. During Jingde's Reign (1004-1007) of song Dynasty, an official resident in the town was appointed to oversea wares manufactured for imperial use. Hence, the place was called Jingde Town (Jingdezhen), In Yuan Dynasty, "Fuliang porcelain office" was set up in the town to take charge of manufacture for the court. It successfully produced blue and white, under-glaze red, coppered glaze and egg-shell white wares; also new varieties of tri-color glaze and gold color wares. Especially, the blue and white wares were famous all over the world. In early Ming Dynasty, government-run kilns were set up at Mount zhushan in Jingdezhen, therefore, porcelain production entered a flourishing stage of competition between governmental and non-governmental kilns. The governmental kilns were acclaimed for blue and white wares, sacrificial red wares and sweet white wares of Yongle's reign and Xuande's reign, for wares in contending colors, peacock green wares and bright yellow wares of Chenghua's reign, and for five-colored wares of Jiajing's reign. Non-governmental kilns were praised for blue and white wares with designs in a bold and flowing style, and for wares with designs painted on a plain porcelain body in three colors in the period from Hongzhi's reign to Jiajing's reign. At that time, Jingdezhen became a "town of thunder and lightning all the year round", for "flames light up the sky and a din at night prevent people from falling a sleep". The workmanship became excellent in Qing Dynasty with its climax in china's porcelain manufacturing history appearing in the reign of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. Five-colored wares, tri-colored wares and cloisonne enamel wares in Kangxi's Reign got more reputation. Moreover, ruby red wares by Lang kiln, rouge red wares, imitation Jun-kiln red wares, sky blue wares, tea dust wares , imitation Jun-kiln ware by smaller kilns and peacock green wares, all these wares of high-temperatured and low-temperatured glazes , rich and varied in color, surpassed previous ages. Since the founding of new china, with the improvement of the means of production and wide spread use of modern science and technology, the production and management of the time-honored handicraft porcelain industry had made headway. Jingdezhen porcelain production has been brushing new buds. Both traditional and newly invented varieties have been on the increase. The quality and quantity have been going up day after day. It won gold-medal prize, in nationwide competition for its blue and white wares, color-glazed wares, and egg-shell wares. With its singular artistic charm, Jingdezhen ceramics is highly acclaimed by people both at home and abroad.
