Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

  • The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention
    The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention Sabrina Rastelli Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Venice, Italy Abstract The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. Archaeological excavations carried out since the 1950s and particularly during the past two decades have provided modern scholars with many and precious pieces of information that have deeply changed our understanding of the history of Chinese ceramics. They have also undermined the concept itself, but when discussing Ding, Ru, Jun, Guan or Ge experts seldom resist the temptation to remind that it is one of the five famous wares. The aim of this paper is to trace back when and how this definition was coined, by combing through Chinese sources. Key words five famous wares China ceramics ceramic literature Song The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty (Songdai Wuda Mingyao 宋代五大名窑 ) is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. At the end of the 1980s, Song wares were classified as either official or popular. The first category was constituted by the so-called five famous wares of the Song dynasty, namely Ding（定）, Ru（汝）, Jun（钧）, Guan（官）and Ge（哥）. Ten years later, while researching for my PhD thesis, I began to doubt the exactness of this theory, but I explored the problem only from the perspective of the Yaozhou ( 耀州 ) kilns (Rastelli, 2008).

  • POTTERY from JĀM: a Mediaeval Ceramic CORPUS from Afghanistan
    POTTERY FROM JĀ M 107 POTTERY FROM JĀM: A MEDIAEVAL CERAMIC CORPUS FROM AFGHANISTAN By Alison L.
