Ceramics yog ib lub npe sib sau ua ke rau cov tais diav thiab cov plooj (porcelain), tab sis kuj yog ib hom kev kos duab thiab khoom siv tes ua hauv Suav teb, kom deb li deb rov qab mus rau lub sijhawm Neolithic, Tuam Tshoj muaj qhov ntxhib, yooj yim style ntawm pleev xim rau cov tais diav thiab cov tais diav dub. Cov lauj kaub tais diav thiab cov plooj (porcelain) muaj cov khoom sib txawv thiab cov khoom. Lub lauj kaub tais diav yog ua los ntawm cov av nplaum nrog cov viscosity siab thiab muaj zog plasticity raws li cov khoom siv tseem ceeb, opaque, nplua pores thiab tsis muaj zog nqus dej, thiab lub suab nrov yog turbid. Ua los ntawm av nplaum, feldspar thiab quartz, plooj (porcelain) yog translucent, tsis-absorbent, corrosion-resistant, nyuaj thiab nruj, thiab nkig. Tuam Tshoj cov tsoos ceramic arts thiab crafts, siab zoo, zoo nkauj duab, siab artistic nqi, nto moo nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no.
Pottery): Lub lauj kaub tais diav, uas yog cov khoom siv ua los ntawm kneading av nplaum los yog terracotta rau hauv cov duab thiab tua lawv. Cov lauj kaub tais diav muaj keeb kwm ntev, thiab cov tais diav yooj yim thiab ntxhib tau pom thawj zaug hauv lub sijhawm Neolithic. Lub lauj kaub tais diav tau siv los ua cov khoom lag luam niaj hnub hauv lub sijhawm qub thiab tam sim no feem ntau sau ua khoom siv tes ua. Lub invention ntawm lub lauj kaub tais diav yog qhov pib ntawm qhov ntxov tshaj plaws ntawm kev siv tshuaj hloov pauv hloov cov khoom ntuj tsim, thiab yog ib lub cim ntawm kev loj hlob ntawm tib neeg lub neej los ntawm Paleolithic mus rau lub sijhawm Neolithic.
Porcelain): Porcelain yog ua los ntawm cov plooj (porcelain pob zeb), kaolin, quartz pob zeb, mullite, thiab lwm yam, thiab sab nrauv yog coated nrog vitreous glaze los yog pleev xim rau. Kev tsim cov plooj (porcelain) yuav tsum raug rho tawm ntawm qhov kub siab (kwv yees li 1280 ° C ~ 1400 ° C) hauv qhov cub, thiab cov xim glaze nyob rau saum npoo ntawm cov plooj (porcelain) yuav raug hloov pauv ntau yam tshuaj vim qhov sib txawv ntawm qhov kub thiab txias, uas yog cov khoom muaj nqis uas pom los ntawm Suav kev vam meej. Tuam Tshoj yog lub teb chaws ntawm cov plooj (porcelain), thiab cov plooj (porcelain) yog ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm cov neeg ua hauj lwm thaum ub. Xie Zhaoxuan tau sau tseg nyob rau hauv "Tsib Miscellaneous Tricks": "Hnub no feem ntau hais tias kiln ware hu ua ib tug magnet instrument, thiab lub kiln nyob rau hauv Cizhou muaj ntau tshaj, yog li nws txuas nws lub npe, xws li nyiaj yog hu ua Miti, number case hu ua chyme, thiab hais txog." "Lub sijhawm ntawd, "magnetic" kiln uas tshwm sim los ntawm qhov loj tshaj plaws ntawm Cizhou kiln. Qhov no yog qhov keeb kwm ntxov tshaj plaws uas pom tau siv lub npe plooj (porcelain).
