An Analysis of the Financial Operating System of Jingdezhen Royal Kiln in the Qing Dynasty
Studying the financial operating system of the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln provides a deeper understanding of the operation of official handicraft workshops,and their impact on the development of the porcelain industry in the Qing Dynasty.Based on the Qing palace porcelain archives collected by the First Historical Archives of China,this article explains the sources of financial funds,financial expenditure allocation,memorial procedures and principles of the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln,and other issues.The article also analyses the actual production and financial situation of the Qing Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln.The revenue and expenditure and proportional relationship are quantitatively explained,and the financial operation of Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln is evaluated from the perspective of cost management and technological progress.The article finds that the financial operation system showed a strong awareness of cost management,and that the"official status"of the Imperial Kiln as"government-operated-private firing"promoted the spread of imperial kiln production technology to private kilns,but its high-intensity cost control made it difficult to achieve technological breakthroughs while ensuring the stability of production technology.
