As a renowned British scholar with extensive research on Chinese heritage of ceramic culture and art, Bernard Rackham has not yet received sufficient attention, for his contributions, from the domestic academic community. His studies and translations on Chinese ceramics primarily focus on three areas: ceramics of the Han and Tang periods, of the Song dynasty, and of the Ming and Qing dynasties, respectively. For the ceramics of the Han and Tang dynasties, Rackham explores the breakthroughs and cultural connotations in ceramic materials and forms. The study of Song Dynasty ceramics focuses on the technological innovations of kaolin and Longquan celadon and the influence of Chuzhou kiln scraping technology on Western ceramics. The most in-depth study is carried out on Ming and Qing ceramics, which explores the cultural symbols and social background of ceramics during this period, and reveals how ceramics reflects religion, philosophical ideas and social values of China. Analyzing Rackham’s role in the transmission of Chinese heritage of ceramic culture and art to the West offers a unique perspective on the international influence and transmission of Chinese ceramic culture. This exploration is also significant for understanding the global dissemination of Chinese culture.
