Pottery and porcelain appeared very early in China. Long ago when Western countries could only burn low-temperature pottery of at most 1000 ℃, China was already producing high temperature ceramics baked at temperatures upwards of 1200 ℃. Famous examples are underglaze blue, red glaze, and celadon blue.
陶瓷在中國出現得很早，遠在西方國家還只能燒攝氏一千度左右的低溫陶時，中國已經可以做出一千二百度以上的高溫陶，像是有名的青花、霽紅、青瓷等。
