Red porcelain (English: hóng táo)

Japanese: 紅陶 - こうとう(英語表記)hóng táo
Red porcelain (English: hóng táo)
A term used in Chinese archaeology to distinguish between different types of pottery. Other examples include brown pottery, gray pottery, black pottery, and white pottery. Red pottery is fired in a well-ventilated kiln using an oxidizing flame, and is light reddish brown in color and harder than brown pottery. Fine-mud red pottery is a refined product made by elutriating the clay body, while coarse red pottery with sand particles is used for pottery made from clay body containing additives. The former is mainly used for tableware, and the latter is mainly used for cooking vessels. It appeared during the Cishan and Pei Ligang cultures, which are currently the oldest agricultural cultures in the Central Plains region, and developed in the North China region during the Yangshao, Dawenkou, and Hongshan cultures.

中国考古学で土器を区別する用語。ほかに褐陶,灰陶,黒陶,白陶などがある。紅陶は通風のよい酸化炎焼成の窯で焼き上げたもので,明るい赤褐色を呈し,褐陶にくらべて硬質である。胎土を水簸(すいひ)した精製品を細泥紅陶といい,胎土に砂粒などの混和剤をふくむものを夾砂粗紅陶という。前者は主として食器類に用いられ,後者は主として煮炊きの器に用いられている。今のところ中原地方のもっとも古い農耕文化である磁山・裴李岡文化の段階で出現し,その後の仰韶文化,大汶口(だいぶんこう)文化,紅山文化など華北地方で発展する。
