Tinghuai Kiln rose from Ruzhou, the cradle of Ru Kiln. Blessed with abundant natural resources and profound cultural accumulation, Ruzhou used to be a central area for merchants in Song Dynasty (960-1279) and its economy achieved unprecedented prosperity in the Zhenguan Golden Age (627-649). Since agate materials stored in mountains along the Ru River are suitable for making ceramics, the industry began to flourish. History can conclude that the Ruzhou pottery-making technique was the most popular and regarded technique since ancient times. Ru porcelain was exclusively produced for emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). After the war between the Northern Song and Jin (1115-1234) dynasties, the art of the Ru Kiln withered away. In the 1950s, Premier Zhou Enlai instructed that the cultural relics of our country should be restored and the production of the Ru Kiln should be recovered. In 1975, Li Tinghuai, a Chinese ceramic artist, chose this magic land to embark on his dream of ceramic creativity.
