Abstract: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, facing the increasingly serious invasion of foreign porcelain products, a large number of people who had been concerned about the future of Chinese ceramic industry thought about "saving the nation by industry " and "saving the nation by education" and started to explore how to "recover the right to gain benefits". Therefore, it was in this era that the Chinese Ceramic Industrial School came into being. However, experts have disagreed and even contradicted with one another on the dating of its establishment as one of the earliest new-style ceramic schools in China. By consulting some relevant literature, such as the newspapers of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the comments of people during this period and so on, this paper makes a detailed textual research and identifies the fact that the school was established and started to enroll student in 1909.
