Brief introduction of pottery firing technique (Li people's clay slice pottery making technique)

Applicant: Baisha Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province

Li people have a long history of traditional clay pottery making. According to the analysis of the pottery pieces unearthed in Hainan, the pottery made by local methods appeared in the early Neolithic period. "Hainan article" in Zhao Rushi's Zhufan Zhi of Song Dynasty says: "according to Sui Zhi, human nature is light and fierce Take the earth as the cauldron. " It is a relic of prehistoric culture.

As a living fossil of China's early pottery making technology, clay slice pottery making technology is of great value to the study of the development history of human society and handcraft. The pottery made by the method of sticking clay pieces has been used by the Li people for generations. The plastic art of pottery shows the artistic attainments and aesthetic concepts of ancient Li women, and it still has the value of appreciation and collection. Due to the impact of mechanized production tools, hand-made pottery lost its original survival status, and its skills also lost. At present, only in Pobei village, the elevated village committee of Yacha Town, Baisha Li Autonomous County, a remote Li village with inconvenient transportation, there are still seven inheritors whose skills are in urgent need of rescue and protection.
