Zibo lies in the center of Shandong province.
From the 8th C BC onwards Zibo was the capital of the Qi empire for 630 years. It also became well-known for its traditional ceramics and lacquered works of art. Green glass was first developed in Zibo some 1500 years ago. Under the Tang (618-907) black glazed porcelain from Zibo was a ''best seller''. In the Song period (960-1279) the local makers of china invented a new technique - they coated the earthenware with a brownish layer of glaze displaying tear-shaped runs. After a long period of decline Zibo's hand-made porcelain enjoyed a revival in the mid-1900s and today it is China's major producer of ceramics.
