The oldest examples of unearthed pottery are believed to have been made more than 10,000 years ago, recording the life and development of our ancestors. Since the emergence of porcelain in the Shang Dynasty, pottery has gradually been replaced by porcelain, which is more solid and durable. However, pottery was still popular from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty as clay was widely used to make bricks, tiles and burial objects. At the Zhaoqing Museum in Guangdong Province, an array of vibrant clay pottery works is on display. A charming duck, a miniature house with a toilet in the courtyard, two simple unadorned ding vessels (once representative of social status), a set of cooking utensils and a livestock pen... all these relics document various details of daily life between 1,500 and 2,200 years ago.
