How ancient porcelain was made -  - ANCIENT FACTORY IN CENTRAL 

THE BEGINNING OF PORCELAIN. How early craftsmen manufactured porcelain. The machines here on display date back a thousand years. BY HAMMERING KAOLIN INTO A SMOOTH PASTE. SAME PIT IS STILL IN EXISTENCE TODAY. 



THE FOLLOWING VIDEO SHOWS HOW THE HAMMER MILL IS BEING USED TODAY - A THOUSAND YEARS AFTER ITS ESTABLISHMENT. 



SAME MILL WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE PERIODS OF MING , YUAN, AND CHING ( QING ) DYNASTY.

KILNS WERE ESTABLISHED UNDER THE SONG DYNASTY PERIOD AT THE SAME LOCATION, HOWEVER IT IS NOT SHOWN HERE. 



WE HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS REGARDING THE ANCIENT KILN WHICH IS STILL EXISTING ALBEIT IN BROKEN STATE.


To see a hammermill like the one shown in the video in action is an experience of a lifetime. Simple waterwheels that turn by the power of the flowing water of a tiny river will turn the wheel and a number of cogs made of simple wood will transmit the power to the hammermill.


Basically a tree trunk with insert cams will lift the hammers up in succession, then by their own weight they will fall on the kaolin clay to smoothen it.
