Why is porcelain and China the same English name?

Jay Chou's song "Blue and White porcelain" reveals the thousand-year charm and beauty of Chinese porcelain.

The Chinese aesthetic in porcelain

In China 3,000 years ago, porcelain was born out of fire. The blue sky in the rain is like the delicate yellow of the new sunflower, and the gorgeous and unmatched Lang Yao red...... Porcelain, the art of "fire and earth", embodies the unique wisdom and aesthetics of the Chinese people.

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the original porcelain that was born was very similar to bronze. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the glaze color of porcelain became more and more diverse, forming a situation of "south celadon, north white porcelain".
