Research on the Commercial Architectural Space of the Cizhou Kiln in Pengcheng Town During the Ming and Qing Dynasties
As a typical system of northern folk kilns,the Cizhou Kiln mainly relied on the folk market,allowing it to develop freely according to market economy principles.Through its development during the Song and Yuan Dynasties,Pengcheng Town became the central kiln site of the Cizhou Kiln in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.With the improvement of productivity and porcelain-making technology,the market for Cizhou Kiln products expanded during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Consequently,the scale of commercial buildings in Pengcheng Town gradually expanded and diversified.This paper primarily uses historical document analysis and field surveys to summarize the commercial building spaces in Pengcheng Town,as recorded in historical documents and observed on-site,and to categorize the types and development patterns of commercial buildings in Pengcheng Town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
