To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the Spirit of the Oven-fires so aided him with his counsels, that the porcelains made by Cang Gong were indeed finer and lovelier to look upon than all other porcelains. And they were baked in the years of Kangxi—sacredly called Ren Huangdi.
WHO first of men discovered the secret of the Gaoling, of the Baidunzi—the bones and the flesh, the skeleton and the skin, of the beauteous Vase? Who first discovered the virtue of the curd-white clay? Who first prepared the ice-pure bricks of dun:... the gathered-hoariness of mountains that have died for age; blanched dust of the rocky bones and the stony flesh of sun-seeking Giants that have ceased to be? Unto whom was it first given to discover the divine art of porcelain?
Unto Bu, once a man, now a god, before whose snowy statues bow the myriad populations enrolled in the guilds of the potteries. But the place of his birth we know not; perhaps the tradition of it may have been effaced from remembrance by that awful war which in our own day consumed the lives of twenty millions of the Black-haired Race, and obliterated from the face of the world even the wonderful City of Porcelain itself—the City of Jingdezhen, that of old shone like a jewel of fire in the blue mountain-girdle of Fouliang.
