The development of "ceramic art" throughout history reveals it to be a comprehensive art form undergoing a complex and lengthy cultural evolution.

It shares an inseparable heritage and comparison with painting, sculpture, design, and other decorative arts.

In the mid to late 1980s, with the intervention of Western modern art, the Western concept of "contemporary ceramics" profoundly influenced Chinese ceramic art. The idea of "ceramics" briefly became a new trend in the ceramic art. It still reflects the contradiction and collision between Eastern and Western cultures. Basic questions like "What is ceramics?" and "How does ceramics relate to ceramic art?" have yet to achieve a unified understanding and standard, even until now.

Ceramics, as an emerging art form, combines ancient ceramic craftsmanship with modern artistic concepts. In the mid-20th century, as society progressed and aesthetic demands increased, ceramic craftsmanship continually broke through traditional practices and technical paradigms. It entered the field of modern art, emphasizing a pure artistic aspect highlighting spirituality and aesthetics, becoming a unique art form.

Today, more and more artists are experimenting with ceramic creation, expressing concepts, cross-disciplinary fusion, and artistic innovation in various ways, bringing about a series of changes in the expression techniques, stylistic features, firing rules, and creative evaluations associated with ceramics.

The origin and development of ceramics are closely connected to human life and production practices. In the primitive age, approximately 700,000 years ago, people discovered that drying clay and firing it made it hard and suitable for various purposes, such as holding water or storing food, marking the initial creation of pottery.

The invention of pottery is a significant milestone in the history of human civilization, opening a new chapter in human utilization of nature, transformation of nature, and struggle with nature.

In ceramic art, using materials is crucial, allowing one to directly sense the strength and aesthetic space of the internal structure. Traditional decorations like blue and white, coloured glazes, and antique colours form the unique appearance of conventional ceramic art, determining its distinctive thematic style.

It carries the changes of an era, providing enduring love and favour to humanity through its expressive language. Modern ceramic art creation particularly emphasizes the freedom and individuality of the subject's spirit. The cultivation and formation of the personality in ceramic art, like other arts, involve the accumulation and elevation of life experiences, cultural knowledge and talent, artistic skills, and artistic cultivation, including the accumulation of skilled and comprehensive techniques.

After generations of relentless efforts, ceramic art entered a transformative period – the succession of old and new artists and the transformation of artistic concepts, aesthetic orientations, and creative thoughts. Today, ceramics integrates with other art forms like painting, sculpture, and installations, actively participating in contemporary artistic creation.

With their proficient skills, open-mindedness, and keen artistic sensibilities, many adventurous ceramic artists and interdisciplinary artists breathe new life into ceramic art, establishing a diverse development pattern.
