It China is one of the ancient civilizations in the world, and the progress and development of human society Many major contributions have been made. The achievements in ceramic technology and art are particularly important. In China, the emergence of pottery skills can be traced back to the era from 4500 to 2500 BC. It can be said that an important part of the history of the development of the Chinese nation is the history of ceramic development. The pursuit and shaping of beauty are reflected in many aspects through ceramic production, and forming very typical technical and artistic characteristics in each era.
talking about ceramics, it has to be thought of Foshan. Foshan is a historic cultural city. Foshan’s historical and culture is diverse, and ceramic culture is undoubtedly the most characteristic, most influential, and most widely spread. Shiwan Ceramics is a beautiful “business card” in Foshan. It enables Foshan to win the crown of “South China Pottery” and extend the concept of the regional economy of the “Great Foshan Ceramics”.
. The development of the ceramic industry in Foshan
Foshan is a bright pearl inlaid in the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta. The year of the kiln continued, Shiwan dolls were well -known in China and abroad. Foshan ceramics began in Tang Dynasty, laid in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, it has become one of the largest ceramics producing areas in my country. Glory and decline
The Shiwan of Foshan has revealed its historical preface in the Beqiu site in the late Neolithic period. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Shiwan pottery technology had a high level. A large number of pottery figurines, animals, utensils, etc. unearthed locally proved that this has formed ceramic art that has begun to take use in local characteristics. During the Six Dynasties, the Shiwan people had mastered the pottery glaze technology. In the Tang Dynasty, ceramic commodity production had appeared in Shiwan. In the Song Dynasty, Shiwan ceramic products had been produced from round kiln to Long Kiln to transition, and the professional and large -scale production system for ceramic commodities was gradually formed. In the Ming Dynasty, the Shiwan ceramic industry entered a period of prosperity. At this time, Shiwan, as a concentrated land (so -called folk kiln) produced by folk ceramic goods, has formed significant industry production characteristics. The universal use has made Shiwan ceramic manufacturing technology become more and more improved. Art ceramics began to appear with an art with local folk customs, and greatly enhanced the artwork of Shiwan ceramics. “Ming Poetry” contains: “Shiwan tile, the world of the world”, which generally reflects the status of Shiwan ceramics at that time.清代，石湾陶瓷业进入鼎盛时期，大量各式日用陶瓷品的生产和风格独特的陶塑瓦脊、建筑装饰构件、陶塑神仙佛像、园林用品、外陈设品、文房用具、艺术人物以及The production of art ceramics such as flowers, birds, insects and fish not only operates a broad market in many provinces and districts in South China, but also through the “Maritime Silk Road” exported to the markets of Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States. The developed ceramic production and marketing base was formed at that time to form Foshan Hankou, Jiangxi Jingde, and Henan Zhuxian, and called the four major towns in the country. Essence
The later in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, especially after the Opium War, the ceramic industry in Foshan weakened from stagnation. During the period of the Kuomintang, the Foshan Ceramics Industry not only could not develop, but also gradually depressed and declined. The input of foreign porcelain was increasing year by year. On the eve of liberation, the ceramic industry in Foshan was dying. Nevertheless, it still survived stubbornly.
(2) The re -rise of the People’s Republic of China after the founding of the People’s Republic of China
Pelasia after the founding of New China, through confiscation of bureaucratic capital, transforming capitalist industrial and commercial and individual handicrafts, my country’s ceramic industry has achieved rapid recovery of rapid recovery And development has established a socialist ceramic industry system. During this period, the Foshan ceramics industry was developed rapidly. With Shiwan as the center, the production of art, chemical industry and building ceramic products occupied an important position in China and exports. Essence
. The rapid development of the Foshan ceramic industry is still thirty years after the reform and opening up. After the reform and opening up, the Foshan Ceramics industry with Shiwan as the leader seized the opportunity of development that had not been encountered for thousands of years, quickly adjusted the production layout, introduced advanced equipment, reform production technology, developed building decoration ceramics, and created the glory of the thousand -year -old pottery. In the course of only thirty years, the development of the Foshan ceramic industry can be roughly divided into four stages:
The first stage is the reform and opening up to the end of the 1980s. Foshan architectural sanitary ceramics began, marking the rise of the production of sanitary ceramics in my country’s modern architecture. In 1982, the Guangdong Fo Tao Group took the lead in introducing the first Italian annual output of 300,000 square meters of color glazed brick production line in mainland China. In the mid -1980s, the Fo Tao Group took the lead in introducing the first modern sanitary ceramics from Germany in mainland China. The production line marks the first step in the Chinese ceramic industry to say goodbye to traditional craftsmanship and traditional production methods. During the period, state -owned enterprises were mainly supported by state -owned enterprises, and the government strongly supported investment, technical equipment introduction or development. The large state -owned enterprise Guangdong Foshan Ceramics Group can be called a leading enterprise for the development of Chinese construction sanitary ceramics. At the time, the company has great advantages in investment, production, technology, products, and management. Technical personnel and management talents have made great contributions to the rapid development of Foshan ceramics. As the base of my country’s architectural sanitary ceramics, the Foshan Ceramics Group gathered in all aspects of technical forces at that time, the production continued to rise, and the efficiency of corporate benefits continued to increase. As a result, the development of some local and collective ceramic companies in the local area. On the other hand, the demand for ceramic products market is very strong. At that time, many equipment of the construction sanitary ceramics production line should be introduced, large investment, project construction approval, loans and other links, long construction cycle, and high production technology thresholds. The efficiency of the enterprise is excellent, and the brick press is known as a “printing machine”.
The second stage is from the early 1990s to the middle. Foshan’s construction sanitary ceramics industry has achieved coexistence and development of various ownership enterprises, and supply and demand has reached balance. After Deng Xiaoping’s southern tour in 1992, my country’s economy entered a period of rapid development. In the same way, the four counties in Foshan’s direct jurisdiction have been changed to county -level cities managed from Foshan. Develop the ceramic industry, and towns around Shiwan, such as the Lecong of Shunde, and the ceramic enterprises of Nanzhuang, Xiqiao, and Luo Village in Nanhai. During the same period, Guangdong took the lead in carrying out corporate transformation reforms, and personal capital began to enter the ceramic industry. Some state -owned enterprises and collective enterprises began to transfer to private enterprises. The changes in systems and mechanisms have formed a production pattern of coexisting multiple economic components. At the same time, the Fo Tao Group used its own technical advantages to adopt the form of technology to provide technical support or consultation to township enterprises, promoting the rapid development of the ceramic industry, and also cultivated competitors for the Fo Tao Group themselves. At this time, the technical equipment is still mainly imported. Due to the large investment in investment, high investment costs, and difficulty in fundraising, the process of domesticization has continued to accelerate, and new domestic equipment investment, such as large ball mills and spray drying tower. With the increase of the number of ceramic companies and the expansion of production capacity, product output has doubled, Foshan has become the country’s largest construction sanitary ceramic production base. Foshan ceramic industry has developed rapidly at this stage, which is inseparable from the government’s encouragement. However, because the government has no unified planning for the ceramic industry, factories are built everywhere, and the importance of environmental protection has not been realized. Foshan has smoke everywhere, and the phenomenon of disorderly competition in ceramics has also begun to appear at this stage. At this time, the supply and demand of the Foshan ceramic industry reached a balance, and the price of the product was steadily decreasing. The domestic sales of products mainly depended on the local and local and local ceramic wholesale markets.
The third stage is the mid -1990s to the end of the 1990s. This is the period of improvement of the development of the sanitary ceramics of Foshan. Some township enterprises and private enterprises, with the policy support of the local government (mainly town -level governments), with their flexible mechanism and guarantee of funds, with the help of large spray dry towers, large tonnage pressure machines, and wide -faced rollers developed in China Equipment such as kiln, polishing wiring and new production technology, have entered low -cost and low -cost production, continuously developed and expanded to become the protagonist of the ceramic industry in Foshan. In the second half of 1997 to the first half of 1998, there were nearly 200 new production lines in the Foshan area. The production capacity of construction sanitary ceramics has expanded sharply, an increase of 60 %. The situation where the supply is greater than the demand began to appear. As market competition has begun to upgrade, some state -owned and collective enterprises have lagged behind the management mechanism and have been used after more than ten years of use. At the same time, because there is no technical transformation funds, the quality of the product is unstable, the market competitiveness has declined, and the market competitiveness has declined. The trained competitors were defeated, and they only chose to withdraw. At the same time, various technical talents from state -owned enterprises have used their own technical advantages to start engaged in ceramic -related supporting industries, such as chemical raw materials, color glaze, ceramic machinery and advertising companies, etc., to promote the development of the ceramic industry in Foshan grow. The emergence of product distribution systems and exhibition hall sales has also promoted the development of the ceramic industry. The domestic sales of the product are mainly based on the wholesale market sales. According to statistics, there are as many as 13 ceramic wholesale markets in Shiwan, Foshan, but due to the increase in product variety and color, some companies have begun to build a large -scale exhibition hall to display the product to display the product , Directly sell for customers, while establishing their own marketing teams to sell them across the country. Because the equipment purchased by enterprises is mainly domestic equipment, export compensation trade has gradually decreased, and general trade has increased, but the growth rate is slow. By 1999, the annual export amount of Foshan ceramics was about 70 million US dollars.
The fourth stage is from the beginning of the 21st century. Foshan Ceramics has begun to embark on the development of technological innovation, product brand strategy and market development. Due to the greater demand for the domestic market, ceramic manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the improvement of technical equipment levels. Large tonnage pressure machines, advanced wide -faced roller kiln and automated new fabric systems are widely used. Ceramic products are constantly innovating, natural stone polishing bricks , Another antique brick, high -grade glaze tiles, and large -scale tiles are developed. The products not only have a leading level in China, but also partially reached the international level and have strong competitiveness. During this period, Foshan ceramic enterprises began to attach importance to the construction of the brand. They worked hard in terms of product display, advertising promotion and marketing, and more well -known brands appeared. At this stage, the ceramic industry in Foshan showed a continuous and steady growth trend. According to data provided by the statistical department, in 2006, 547 Foshan ceramic enterprises, 57.274 billion yuan in industrial output value, 16.492 billion yuan in industrial added value, total assets of 32.394 billion yuan, total profit of 2.141 billion yuan, total tax revenue of 2.193 billion yuan, all employees年平均数151280人，分别比2000年增长59.9%、245.9%、270.7%、51.4%、1197.6%、192.8%和31.8%，年均增长速度分别为8.1%、23.0%、24.4%、7.2%、 53.3%, 19.6%and 4.7%. In 2007, 366 ceramic industry enterprises above designated size, 61.445 billion yuan in industrial output value, 18.462 billion yuan in industrial added value, export delivery value of 6505 billion yuan, assets totaling 29.372 billion yuan, total profit of 3.644 billion yuan, total tax revenue of 1.809 billion yuan The average annual average of the yuan and all employees accounted for 5.5%, 7.3%, 7.9%, 3.5%, 6.6%, 9.2%, 5.9%, and 7.8%of industries above designated size. In 2007, the total value of the Foshan ceramic products was 1.49 billion US dollars, accounting for 5.7%of the city’s total export value, and the market across more than 170 countries and regions around the world. Among the top 50 Chinese ceramics exports announced by the China Light Industry and Commerce Association, there are 13 Foshan, accounting for 26%of the country, and 56.5%of the province (23).
. The current status of the ceramic industry in Foshan
Foshan as one of the national ceramic industry centers, after years of development and accumulation, especially the rapid development after reform and opening up, it has achieved The impressive results also encountered the bottleneck of development.
(1) The achievement of the development of the ceramic industry in Foshan
1. It has become the largest ceramic production base in the country and the world
There are more than 1,000 production lines, the annual production capacity of buildings and sanitary ceramics accounts for about 40%and 16%of the country, 25%and 5%of the world’s, ceramic machinery accounts for about 80%of the country, and ceramic glaze production accounts for about 50%of the country.
2. The largest ceramic commodity distribution and exhibition center in the country and the world
The five major ceramic professional wholesale markets, the two major ceramics display and convention and exhibition centers of China Ceramics City and Huaxia Ceramics Expo City, Jiangwan Road and Nanzhuang Avenue, two major ceramic streets, have annual sales of more than 10 billion yuan. At the same time, Foshan has the two major exhibition venues of Foshan International Conference and Exhibition Center and China Ceramics City. After the integration of the 2004 ceramics exhibition industry, a ceramic product exhibition (Foshan (International) Ceramics Expo Fair China) Ceramics Exhibition) and Ceramics Industry Exhibition (Foshan China (International) Ceramics Industry Exhibition) and Ceramics Art Exhibition (Pottery Festival) three -legged ceramic exhibition pattern.
3. The industrial cluster and mature industrial chain have been formed
With the development of the ceramic industry, related supporting industries such as ceramic machinery, ceramic raw materials, refractory materials, ceramics Professional manufacturers such as accessories and ceramic packaging have also developed quickly in Foshan and formed a professional division of labor collaboration. Foshan also has ceramic research institutes, ceramic product testing centers, professional colleges, developed professional media, advertising companies, transportation companies, ceramic wholesale markets and exhibition venues. At present, there are more than 1,000 related companies and departments such as Foshan City. A long industrial chain has been formed, and the gathering benefits are obvious. According to expert assessments, the maturity of the development of the ceramic industry in Foshan has been leading in the country and has been similar to the famous Italian town of Saszoro.
4. Technology is leading the country. Some technologies have reached the international advanced level
In 30 years of introduction, digestion, absorption, and self -innovation, Foshan ceramic industry has been in technology in technology Self -forming system. From the perspective of production equipment, although there is still a certain gap compared to the developed ceramic production countries Italy and Spain, Foshan, the most advanced equipment at home and abroad, is currently leading in the country. From the perspective of innovative technologies, Foshan has successfully developed the first domestic colorful glazed brick, crystal brick and polished brick, etc., which can produce arc -shaped bricks that cannot be produced abroad. The innovation ability is leading in the country. Some technologies are unique in the world. From the perspective of the R
