  Taoshan Black Pottery, A Real TreasureAs an art perfectly combining clay and fire, the ancient Black Pottery originated from the late period of of China's primitive society when the Painted Pottery techniques went down gradually in China's central Plain areas and northwestern regions while a new pottery culture became flourishing in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the vast eastern coastal areas, being called the Black Pottery Culture for its black appearance. The culture are divided into two periods:the Hemudu Culture(about 5000 years B. C.)and the Dawenkou Culture which originated in the Neolithic Age and later developed into the Longshan Culture(about 2600 years B. C.).The Longshan Culture, is named after its first descovery place, Longshan Town, Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province in 1928. A lot of the Longshan Culture relics were found at Guantao County in the border regions of Shandong and Hebei, the County were then namedTao-shan(Pottery-Mount)County. At that time, agriculture had been developed into a new era;Settled living had greatly promoted the agriculture, handicraft industry and animal husbandry. The black pottery making techniqus once reached a very high level with a great variety and advanced techniques. A allochthonous deposited clay with good plasticity and permeability was used as raw material for the pottery making, and the then most advanced techniques combining pulling blank and wheel was adopted. Burning by closeiln, extended channel and raised kiln temperature created the black pottery with bright surfaces, evenly black inside and outside and durability. The Black Pottery High Handle Cup unearthed at the Longshan Culture relics in Rizhao district of Shandong Province represents the highest achievements of the ancient Black Pottery art. Its thinnest wall is only 0. 2-0. 3mm, and its shape is light and graceful. Unearthed in 1950s, many experts commented that only the best Song Dynasty vases could rival its lightness, its grace and its delicacy. It is really a treasure in the ancient Black Pottery.Taoshan Black Pottery, a reappearance of the once lost ancient culture of several thousand years has finally been made possible by the joint reserch and excavation of black pottery broken fragments at the Longshan Culture relics and making references to the ancient techniques by the Chinese Art Institue, the Chinese Art and Handicraft Institute and the Studio of Taoshan Black Pottery Study and Creation of Cuantao County, Handan, Hebei, P. R. China.Taoshan Black Pottery, using the the pure and fine clay from 50 meters under the ground at the ancient black pottery origins as raw material, are made through blank pulling, forming, cooling and drying in the sun, then elaborate engraving and polishing by the folk handicraftsmen fully by hand. Many skills like hollowing out, relief, inlay and lacquer and so on have been used. Adopting the ancient close-kiln burning techniques, and with the different temperatures of wood burning, at least seven days of burning are needed to complete the creation. The finished black potterys are"as black as lacquer, as bright as mirror, as thin as paper, as hard as ceramics", with fine and smooth craftsmanship, and rich shapes and significances. The imitation products of the antique black pottery are elegant and with ancient simplicity and strong oriental culture while the modern pottery are multicoloured and with a great many forms and shapes. Due to the complicated techniques, rate of finished products are very low. Production periods for most products are usually over 20 days, some big ones even 100 days.
