International Experts Explore Celadon in Zhejiang

9月24日至26日，中國(guó)（上虞）·越窯青瓷國(guó)際學(xué)術(shù)研討會(huì)在浙江上虞召開(kāi)。來(lái)自北京大學(xué)、中國(guó)社科院、故宮博物院、中國(guó)國(guó)家博物館、首都博物館、上海博物館，以及韓國(guó)、日本等地的50余位古陶瓷領(lǐng)域?qū)＜覍W(xué)者和各窯口代表性傳承人齊聚浙江省紹興市上虞區(qū)，就瓷器的起源、制瓷技藝的傳播、越窯與“一帶一路”建設(shè)、提升發(fā)展青瓷產(chǎn)業(yè)等議題進(jìn)行廣泛討論。

專家們考察了鳳凰山考古遺址公園禁山窯址、瓷源文化小鎮(zhèn)國(guó)際藝術(shù)區(qū)和上虞博物館。被評(píng)為“2014年度全國(guó)十大考古新發(fā)現(xiàn)”的禁山窯址，是目前已發(fā)現(xiàn)的早期成熟青瓷窯址中窯爐最多、遺跡最豐富的窯場(chǎng)，并出土了大量高質(zhì)量的成熟瓷器。據(jù)了解，上虞境內(nèi)古窯址數(shù)量將近400處，時(shí)代序列完整清晰，自東漢至北宋綿亙不絕。專家學(xué)者普遍認(rèn)為，上虞是真正意義上成熟瓷器的發(fā)源地。在東漢中晚期，上虞曹娥江流域就有眾多的窯場(chǎng)創(chuàng)燒出真正意義上的瓷器。這些窯場(chǎng)燒制技術(shù)已臻成熟，產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量普遍較好。近年來(lái)，上虞區(qū)委、區(qū)政府出臺(tái)了大量政策措施，較好地保護(hù)和傳承發(fā)展了青瓷文化。

A delegation of more than 50 ceramics experts and scholars representing Peking University， Chinese Academy of Social Sciences， the Palace Museum， China National Museum， Capital Museum， Shanghai Museum and various other organizations in South Korea and Japan gathered in Shangyu to brainstorm about new development possibilities of the art of ceramics in the ‘Belt & Road context， at the 2017 China （Shangyu） Yue Celadon International Seminar on September 24-26， 2017.

The delegation surveyed the kiln remains at the Fenghuangshan Archaeological Park， the International ‘Artist-in-Residence program at the Celadon Culture Town， and the Shangyu Museum. The kiln site at Fenghuangshan was rated among the ‘top 10 archaeological findings in China in 2014， and is highly regarded by insiders for its unusually large number of kilns and high quality celadon products preserved from ancient times. Statistics show Shangyu hosts about 400 ancient kilns spanning a period from the East Han Dynasty （25-220AD） all the way down to the Northern Song （960-1127）. In as early as the middle and late period of the East Han Dynasty， artisans working in the Caoe River area were already producing high quality porcelain artifacts. It is a consensus reached by the international archaeologist circle that Shangyu is the ‘root of porcelain production in its mature state. Aware of the long term future benefits of the porcelain tradition of Shangyu， the local government has taken extensive actions to revitalize the glory of the ‘birthplace of celadon.
