陶器的出现，意味着人类对水、火和泥土的征服，是在具备了一定的技术条件下有能力改造物质环境的结果。在陶器产生和应用的过程中，不仅以其形态上的分工标志着人类生活的精致化程度，不断拓展着人类在实用领域的技术与智能，而且最终发展为实用与审美功能兼备的艺术产品。

China is richly endowed with the raw materials needed for making ceramics. Chinese discovered and mastered the techniques of porcelain first. Ceramic products are not only an important cultural heritage of human civilization; they are still very much a part of everyone's lives，and in a very lively and colorful way. A beautifully crafted and tastefully formed ceramic piece not only is a fruit of the technology and craft of its times，it also records the bits of history and life. Sometimes，it can even carry paintings，poetry，calligraphy，sculpture all on its tiny body; or serve as a medium of information for society.
