In particular, a large number of porcelain pieces produced by firing porcelain in official kilns, royal officials who are responsible for this kind of porcelain firing, stationed in kiln factories, supervised production and made innovations at no cost. For example, the emperor asked this batch to make 100 pieces of porcelain, so hundreds of pieces must be fired. After carefully selecting 100 pieces of porcelain, all the remaining porcelain should be broken and buried deeply, and not one piece is allowed to flow into the people.

Relying on traditional culture, ancient porcelain pieces hide great historical value, artistic value and collection value. At present, the unearthed ancient porcelain pieces are still the best yardstick for archaeologists so far. In addition, some unique ancient porcelain pieces fill the scientific gap. Through research and analysis, ancient porcelain tiles also play an important role in exploring human historical footprints. At the same time, ancient porcelain pieces are also the best materials for collectors to understand porcelain identification.

You should collect ancient porcelain selectively. Porcelain before the Republic of China, because of its relatively recent age, has survived many times and has little collection value. The ancient porcelain pieces of the dynasties before Ming and Qing dynasties can be included in the collection because of their narrow use, small amount of firing and strange shape. From the chronological point of view, the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty, blue and white porcelain in Yuan Dynasty and official porcelain in Qing Dynasty have great appreciation potential, and ancient porcelain pieces of some famous works in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China also have great appreciation potential. Judging from the types of utensils, the value of ornamental porcelain is higher than that of bowls, plates and saucers. With mouth edge and foot, it contains a lot of information and has high research and collection value.

As a layman, I want to talk to my predecessors about the value of ancient porcelain:
1: Some ancient porcelain pieces with relatively complete patterns can tell stories about the cultural features, lifestyle, national strength, craftsman's heart and so on.
2. Ancient porcelain is very important for archaeology in China. When excavating strata, we can judge the initial time of a city and the quality of life and national strength of local people in a certain dynasty and certain years.
3. Judge the value of ancient porcelain pieces according to the age, completeness, surviving quantity, kiln grade, technological degree, choice of glaze and matrix, etc.
4. For porcelain lovers, ancient porcelain pieces are definitely much cheaper than complete porcelain pieces, which also satisfies the collection of porcelain of various dynasties by many porcelain lovers.
In recent years, there are a group of people who specialize in frying ancient porcelain pieces in the domestic market, which makes the price of ancient porcelain pieces rise.
