Features: The history of ceramics in China is long and profound. Ancient ceramics are deeply favored by people worldwide, and numerous scholars at home and abroad have devoted their lives to collecting, preserving, exploring, and researching them. In particular, efforts have been made to excavate and organize some historically renowned kilns, yielding exceptional finds that have supplemented the insufficient historical records in the appreciation of ancient ceramics. This series, "Appreciating Famous Kilns, Famous Porcelains, and Famous Artists," summarizes recent research achievements. It invites experts from various fields to write on the themes of appreciating ancient ceramics from different kiln systems and kiln sites. Each manuscript is rich in data, thorough in argumentation, and meticulous in analysis. Compared to the many superficial and generic works on appreciation currently available, this series is well-structured, coherent, and substantive.
