Die ältere Ware wurde noch kaltgebrannt, im 5. und 6.

Im frühen achtzehnten Jahrhundert mischte man diese aber wieder zunehmend zu gleichen Teilen mit Kaolin und brannte bei 1350 Grad. So entstand ein sehr dauerhaftes Porzellan von strahlendem Weiß. In den eiförmig gebauten Brennöfen des Südens herrschten große Temperaturunterschiede, die durch Variierung des Kaolinanteils der Werkmasse ausgeglichen werden mussten. ... (wiki)

Moser David
A Billion Voices: China's Search for a Common Language
16mo, br. ed. 120pp. Mandarin, Guoyu or Putonghua? "Chinese" is a language known by many names, and China is a country home to many languages. Since the turn of the century linguists and politicians have been on a mission to create a common language for China. From the radical intellectuals of the May Fourth Movement, to leaders such as Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao Zedong, all fought to push the boundaries of language reform. Now, internet users take the Chinese language in new and unpredictable directions. David Moser tells the remarkable story of China?s language unification agenda and its controversial relationship with modern politics, challenging our conceptions of what it means to speak and be Chinese.

Moskowitz Marc L.
Go Nation : Chinese Masculinities and the Game of Weiqi in China
8vo, br. ed. Go (Weiqi in Chinese) is one of the most popular games in East Asia, with a steadily increasing fan base around the world. Like chess, Go is a logic game but it is much older, with written records mentioning the game that date back to the 4th century BC. As Chinese politics have changed over the last two millennia, so too has the imagery of the game. In Imperial times it was seen as a tool to seek religious enlightenment and was one of the four noble arts that were a requisite to becoming a cultured gentleman. During the Cultural Revolution it was a stigmatized emblem of the lasting effects of feudalism. Today, it marks the reemergence of cultured gentlemen as an idealized model of manhood. Marc L. Moskowitz explores the fascinating history of the game, as well as providing a vivid snapshot of Chinese Go players today. Go Nation uses this game to come to a better understanding of Chinese masculinity, nationalism, and class, as the PRC reconfigures its history and traditions to meet the future

China and the West: Conflict and Opportunity: With special reference to the "Yellow Peril" Prejudice
8vo, br, ed. 120pp. This book is a survey and history of the relationship between China and the West from the earliest times of antiquity to the present day with particular reference to the racist Yellow Peril scare and its sad consequences. In this book I take a thorough and relevant and right up to date examination of all aspects of the history and popular culture of the interaction between the British Isles,the USA,Africa and Australia from ancient times onwards up to the era of Donald Trump and Premier Xi of China,taking in childrens comics,the band Devo, Rupert the Bear, popular music and so on to see how the tragic and racist Yellow Peril scare coloured the opinions of historians,journalists and authors and many others.

Muirhead Richard
China: a Yellow peril? Western Relationships with China
8v.oi, br. ed. If some Victorian antiquarians are to be believed, contact between the Chinese Empire, and other Middle Eastern and Western Empires goes back to long before the birth of Christ; such as the ancient Egyptians and the Roman Empire. A Roman coin from the the time of Hadrian in the second century of the Christian era was found in Oshkosh in Wisconsin in 1883, thought at the time to have been carried there across the Bering Straits to Wisconsin by way of Alaska by a Chinese person. Muirhead`s book China: A Yellow Peril? Western Relationships with the Chinese From the Seventeenth to the Twenty-First Centuries looks at a time period long after these very early contacts, to the beginning of trading links between the West and China in the Seventeenth Century, with the arrival of the Jesuit intellectual and religious leaders. The impact of these individuals as well as the British, French, Russians, Japanese, Germans and Americans in the following three hundred or so years created a tension that resulted negatively in the West and elsewhere in the racist Yellow Peril scare; and positively in developments such as an appreciation of China as a cultured civilisation with trade in Chinoiserie and food stuffs. In fact, between the late eighteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century there was a debate between detractors and supporters of China as either barbarian or civilised, with relationships between British and Chinese in the colony of Hong Kong perhaps surprisingly surviving the complex change of events in China that led to the rise of communism in rural and urban China from the 1920s onwards. The Yellow Peril scare, essentially a fear of Chinese expansionism and morals, is the main subject matter of this book. Muirhead concludes that with the pressures brought upon the world by China`s massive economic growth and pollution comes the risk of a revival of the Yellow Peril scare." Muirhead hopes his book will dispel a tendency amongst some commentators to portray everything in black and white and an unnecessary overwhelming guilt for colonialism. In fact, there were good imperialists and Victorians, and patriotic Chinese communists
