Ming and Qing Export Porcelain: A Trade Treasure and Cultural Bridge Between East and West
明清外销瓷是中国瓷器史上独特的"文化混血儿",它们既保留了中国传统工艺的精髓,又融入了西方审美元素。这些瓷器不仅是贸易商品,更是东西方文明交流的实物见证。
Ming and Qing export porcelain represents a unique "cultural hybrid" in Chinese ceramic history, preserving the essence of traditional Chinese craftsmanship while incorporating Western aesthetic elements. These porcelains were not merely trade goods but physical witnesses to cultural exchanges between East and West.

Jingdezhen became the global center of porcelain production thanks to its superior kaolin clay and mature craftsmanship.
