Have You Ever Tried Making “Living Fossil” Li Pottery? Come and Give It a Spin! Sanya’s Millennia-Old Li Pottery Meets the World
In Sanya, you can not only enjoy the ultimate coastal scenery, but also visit Heitu Village in Tianya District, Sanya, to experience the millennia-old Li ethnic group’s primitive pottery-making technique hidden in the mysteries of clay and fire — hailed as a “living fossil” of ancient Chinese pottery-making.
The history of pottery-making by the Li ethnic group in Hainan can be traced back to the Neolithic Age.This technique fully inherits the prehistoric pottery-making system, with the clay coil building method as its core, complemented by primitive tools such as bamboo, wood, and shells.
It goes through twelve traditional steps and is fired in open-air low-temperature pile burning. The vessels are mainly various types of everyday pottery, simple and rustic, with distinct primitive characteristics.
The Li ethnic group’s primitive pottery-making technique was inscribed on the first batch of China’s national intangible cultural heritage representative projects list in 2006. If you were given a handful of clay, would you coil it into a bowl, a jar, or an endearingly clumsy little animal? (Luo Yunfei)
