博山，古代稱作顏神。它位于山東省淄博市南部，三面環(huán)山，有著豐富的地礦資源。煤、鐵、鋁、重晶石、石英、陶土等儲量大，分布廣，為當(dāng)?shù)毓さV陶琉業(yè)的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了獨特的自然條件。博山琉璃業(yè)隨之誕生并發(fā)展興盛，獨具魅力。

博山琉璃生產(chǎn)歷史悠久，文化底蘊深厚。這里有中國現(xiàn)存最早的古琉璃作坊遺址；有全國最早也是唯一的爐神廟；明萬歷四十五年（1617年）成立了中國第一個琉璃行業(yè)組織——爐行蘸會；著就中國古代第一部琉璃專著——《顏山雜記》；2006年中國第一座琉璃藝術(shù)博物館在這里建成。

Boshan was known as Yanshen Town in ancient times. Located in the south of Zibo, Shandong,surrounded by mountains on three sides, it abounds in geological and mineral resources. Coal, iron,aluminum, barite, quartz, clay and so forth have large reserves and are widely distributed, thereby, creating unique natural conditions for the birth and development of the local mining, ceramic and colored glaze industries. Hence, the colored glaze industry of Boshan emerged and thrived, with unique charm. Boshan has a long history of colored glaze production and profound cultural deposits. In Boshan, there is not only China’s earliest extant workshop site of colored glaze, but also the earliest and unique Furnace God Temple in China; in 1617, China’s first colored glaze industry organization – Furnace Association was founded; the first book about colored glaze – Yanshan Notes emerged in ancient China; in 2006,China’s first colored glaze art museum was established here.
