Abstract: As a typical kind of artifacts, Liao Dynasty ceramics provide valuable first-hand materials for the studies on the political system, economy, trade, international exchange, national culture, science, technology, social customs and living styles in Liao Dynasty. Liao Dynasty ceramic modeling is richly endowed with the influence of the nomadic life of the northern nationalities and the characteristics of their local regions. In the academic circles, more and more attention is paid to the study of the ceramics and ceramic manufacture in Liao Dynasty, which is gradually expanding in scope and depth. A lot of research results have been obtained, but there’s still a large space for the development of new theories, new research methods, and new applications of professional knowledge.

Key words: liao dynasty ceramics; modelling; research status; review
