History of Porcelain

Porcelain originated in China. Although proto-porcelain wares exist dating from the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC), by the Eastern Han Dynasty period (196–220) glazed ceramic wares had developed into porcelain.Porcelain manufactured during the Tang Dynasty (618–906) was exported to the Islamic world, where it was highly prized. Early porcelain of this type includes the tri-colour glazed porcelain, or sancai wares. The exact dividing line between proto-porcelain and porcelain wares is not a clear one to date. Porcelain items in the sense that we know them today could be found in the Tang Dynasty,[6] and archaeological finds have pushed the dates back to as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). By the Sui Dynasty (581–618) and Tang Dynasty (618–907), porcelain had become widely produced.

Eventually, porcelain and the expertise required to create it began to spread into other areas of East Asia. During the Song Dynasty (960–1279), artistry and production had reached new heights. The manufacture of porcelain became highly organised and the kiln sites, those excavated from this period, could fire as many as 25,000 wares. While Xing Ware is regarded as among the greatest of the Tang porcelain kilns, Ding Ware became the premier porcelain of Song Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), porcelain art was being exported to Europe. Some of the most well-known Chinese porcelain art styles arrived in Europe during this era, such as the coveted blue-and-white wares. The Ming Dynasty controlled much of the porcelain trade, which were further expanded to all over Asia, Africa and Europe through the Silk Road. Later, Portuguese merchants began

    While agriculture remained the core of both dynasties' economy, trade became increasingly important as manufacturing began to develop. In India, textiles woven from cotton, cashmere, and calico, and steel, the best seen at the time, were manufactured and traded with many other civilizations. By trading with other civilizations, India and China were able to adopt new ideas and expand upon them, giving them even more items to trade. India was also well known for their spices, which were sought after by far away civilizations even during the Mauryan/ Gupta Empire. These spices were traded for a high price, making the merchants who sold them very prosperous. In China, luxury items such as jewelry, furniture, and silk were the main exports. These luxury items were mainly traded and sold to the upper class citizens. For this reason, the price of such items were high, as the wealthy could afford to…

Though they were the shortest, they still made many great accomplishments. Some of the accomplishments were inventing the Grand Canal, updating the Great Wall of China, building granaries, and stabilizing the economy. The Grand Canal connected the north and south provinces and it improved trade and communication. The Great Wall of China was built awhile before the Sui Dynasty, but they updated and strengthened the wall. The granaries were built around the capital cities (Daxing and Luoyang) and were built for the purpose of providing the citizens cheap, nutritional foods. One of the last accomplishments they did was stabilize the economy by creating coin denominations that were used all throughout China.…

    He established the Song Dynasty 960-1279 (Song dynasty. 2015) known for its intricate bureaucracy and Confucius style of learning. The Song dynasty time period is almost evenly divided between the Northern song 960-1127 and the Southern song from 1127-1279 eras. Under Song rule China was the richest and most populated country in the world. The Song dynasty was known for the development of cities for administrative purposes, but also as centers of trade, industry and maritime commerce. The mercantile class began to link the coastal provinces with the interior. Landholding and government employment were no longer the only means of gaining wealth and prestige. The development of paper money and unified tax system was the beginning of the Chinese industrial revolution. In 1078 China was producing 125,000 tons of iron per year; the iron was used to mass produce such things as plows, hammers, needles and pins. Trade with the outside world also expanded greatly at this point. Chinese civil and artistic life flourished during the Song dynasty. Customs such as foot binding in childhood for a very small foot as adults was a status symbol for affluent men showing that their wives could not work. Also the Chinese architectural styles such as the up turned corners on tiled roofs became popular during this…

    he Gullah and Geechee culture on the Sea Islands of Georgia has retained ethnic traditions from West Africa since the mid-1700s. Although the islands along the southeastern U.S. coast harbor the same collective of West Africans, the name Gullah has come to be the accepted name of the islanders in South Carolina, while Geechee refers to the islanders of Georgia. Modern-day researchers designate the region stretching from Sandy Island, South Carolina, to Amelia Island, Florida, as the Gullah Coast—the locale of the culture that built some of the richest plantations in the South. Many traditions of the Gullah and Geechee culture were passed from one generation to the next through language, agriculture, and spirituality. The culture has been linked to specific West African ethnic groups who were enslaved on island plantations to grow rice, indigo, and cotton starting in 1750, when antislavery laws ended in the Georgia colony.…

    The Song Dynasty did bring about an industrial revolution, due to highly advanced technology in the fields of diverse agriculture, iron-working, and printing. As a result of this industrial revolution, populations increased rapidly as people began to move to the cities because of economic opportunities and the advanced government for its time. The industrial revolution is an “economic development characterized by replacing animal and human power with mechanical power, mass production and the creation of an entrepreneurial and a working class.” These three categories; mass production, entrepreneurship and inanimate power were all actualized during the Song Dynasty. For example the production of iron and steel led to its many uses, “ranging from…

    While the particulars of each country’s demographic situation are varied, in all cases the pervading problems can be distilled into two questions: how to make the most efficient use of available human capital and how to manage government entitlements without sinking the public sector into onerous debt. Government is in a unique position to tackle these issues or at least give strong assistance, but in addressing them there are also several pitfalls that it must be wary of. In light of these concerns, five suggestions are submitted: 1. Encourage the aging workforce to keep contributing/working. 2. Gradually move to eliminate defined benefit plans in favor of defined contribution plans for retirement, especially in the public sector. 3. Move away from state capitalism. 4. Work to achieve a commonsense, progressive tax code. 5. Invest in infrastructure, not cronyism. This list is by no means exhaustive nor will all of the nuances of each item be discussed, as both of these would be beyond the scope of this…
