天青色等烟雨而我在等你

月色被打捞起晕开了结局

如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽

周杰伦的这首《青花瓷》，道出了中国瓷器的千年韵味与美。今天，“中华文化探源者”、中国日报数字员工元曦来到瓷器的世界，探寻为什么瓷器被赋予China，中国之名？

瓷器里的中国审美

在3000年前的中国，瓷器从火中诞生。雨霁时分的天青色，色若新葵的娇黄色，艳丽无俦的郎窑红……瓷器这一“火与土”的艺术，凝结着中国人的独特智慧与审美。

夏商时期，最初诞生的原始瓷极似青铜器。到了隋唐，瓷器的釉色越发多样，形成了“南青瓷，北白瓷”的局面。

More than 3,000 years ago, proto-porcelain just looked like bronze ware. Later, porcelain glazes became more varied. Down south, celadon took the show, and up north, white porcelain was the star.

宋代瓷器百花齐放，汝、官、哥、钧、定五大名窑各具风采。到了元朝，青花绽放。雅致的蓝白之外，璀璨的颜色釉、艳丽的粉彩……涂抹出了明清时五光十色的瓷国华章

Then around the year 1,000, there was an explosion of porcelain styles. Big five kilns where porcelain items were produced - Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding–each had their unique attributes. Fast forward to the Yuan dynasty (1271 to 1368), blue and white porcelain prevailed. More colors then joined the show and China's porcelain history became exceptionally colorful.
