Abstract

Thai ceramics in the 15-16th century are the special types formed in the process of material and cultural exchange between Thailand and China. The particularity of this type is based on the following reasons. First of all, benefiting from cultural exchanges with China and neighboring countries, Thai ceramics have shown a vigorous trend of development. Second, Thailand is a country that is very good at absorbing foreign cultures and integrating them with its national cultures. Third, due to the sea ban policy in Ming Dynasty ,   Thailand opened the ceramic trade and globalization process. Therefore, the Thai ceramics of this period not only embodies the cultural exchange fusion, but also shows the initial characteristics of the global trade at that time, which has important research value. Through a large number of comparison of physical and literature records, this paper makes a comparative study of the ceramic plant patterns in Thailand and China at that time.  In order to analyze the influence of Chinese ceramics on Thai ceramics and the national characteristics of Thai ceramic culture, this paper combs and summarizes the characteristics of Thai ceramic plant patterns in this period, and also discusses the aesthetic, social and cultural values behind the patterns.
