Documenting And Studying The Collection Of Modern Chinese Ceramic Literature In Japan

Since the Opium War,the national power of China and Japan was reversed,and Japan’s process of "enriching the country and strengthening the army," "civilizing and enlightening" and "colonizing and developing" was rapid,and the teacher-approved object China fell into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal predicament.After the middle of the 19 th century,China was unable to,and had no time to take into account the study of ceramics in China,while modern Japan,after establishing a national policy of expansion to China,entered Chinese society through various people who came to China and carried out fieldwork.After the First Sino-Japanese War,Japan dispatched an expedition to the porcelain industry of the Qing Dynasty,and after the Russo-Japanese War,Japan conducted ceramic research in the northeastern colonies,as well as Japanese scholars in China during the war period into the country to organize and publish.Over time,these materials have accumulated in great quantities,and as the first ceramic research results published from a modern historical perspective,they are one of the indispensable treasure troves of materials for the study of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship.This paper will attempt to establish a systematic understanding of modern Chinese ceramic craft literature through the collation and study of modern Chinese ceramic craft literature in Japanese collections,and to discuss the background and progress of Japanese research on modern Chinese ceramic craft literature,as well as the value and use of these documents for the study of Chinese ceramics.This paper is based,combined with recent theoretical knowledge and experience,to develop a systematic understanding and study of modern Chinese ceramic craft literature,dividing the full text into four parts.The first part is an overview of the background of the study of Chinese ceramic crafts in modern Japan.It includes the study behavior of Chinese ceramics in Japan since ancient times,as well as the continuous dynamics of Japanese research on Chinese ceramic crafts in the post-Meiji Restoration era.The second part is a taxonomic study of modern Chinese ceramic literature in Japanese collections.After investigating and collecting documents on the study of Chinese ceramics,academic research,and cultural exchange from government agencies,research organizations,and scholars in Japan before and after the modern period,the following classifications are made based on the research materials: study reports,essays,and pictorial records.After combing through these documents,it is easy to see that there are systematic and detailed records of modern Chinese ceramics in Japan.The third part is a case study of modern Chinese ceramic documents in Japanese collections.This section provides an in-depth analysis of Pottery Hall,which represented the forefront of Chinese ceramics research in the 1920 s,and its magnum opus,Tao Ya Ji.The fourth section examines the documentary value of the Japanese collection of modern Chinese ceramic craft literature.Its value is explored in terms of updating the way ceramic literature is studied,bridging the gaps in the academic history of ceramics,its role in enlightening the development of ceramic crafts,and helping to bring the best traditional Chinese culture to the world.The study of this paper reveals that Japanese research on Chinese ceramic craftsmanship has been thoroughly studied in terms of history,documentation,craftsmanship,and art,providing important reference materials for better understanding and studying Chinese ceramic craftsmanship.The research in this paper contributes to a better understanding of Japanese interest in and research on Chinese ceramics,and provides new perspectives and ideas for the development of Chinese ceramics research.
