The ancient history of China can be divided into the following ages according to the tool used: the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, the Chalcolithic Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. Prior to the invention of pottery, people used tools that were made of natural materials such as stonewares, woodwares, bonewares, etc. With pottery utensils, people started settling down and collecting, thus giving birth to primitive agriculture and husbandry. Furthermore, the firing technique used in pottery-making led to the smelting of metals and then the production of bricks and tiles, with which came the idea of engineering. And finally, pottery-making became porcelain-making. The history of pottery-making in ancient China can be divided into 12 periods, and this chapter introduces the main achievements of each period.
