The original celadon appeared in the Shang Dynasty about 3000 years ago, and went through the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Han Dynasty. It was the product of the transition from pottery to porcelain, and was developed from printed hard pottery. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the production technology of the original celadon was improved, and the scope of its excavation was broader. The quantity and shape of the original celadon unearthed in the south of the Yangtze River are more and more abundant than those in the northern Yellow River basin. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, glaze had become an essential part of porcelain. It not only served as a water barrier and was conducive to cleaning, but also had the function of decorating utensils to make them beautiful. Glaze is a kind of glass body. Due to the effect of metal ions contained in it, it will produce various colors when applied to porcelain. The glaze on the original celadon is cyan, which is due to the amount of iron oxide in the glaze.
