Abstract: Archaeometrical research in ceramics has played an important role in revealing cultural information about sites, which has received much attention. In the last decade, research was mainly focused on verification of previously summarised methods and theories. Academic literature regarding the scientific and technological study of ancient Chinese porcelain during this period was analysed through Citespacevisualization. It is found that high-temperature colour-glazed porcelain and painted porcelain are most relevant, enhancing the growth of academic communities and an increase in the relevance and coherence of research. Most of the studies were conducted with a variety of tests, making the conclusions more detailed and reliable. Also, the breadth and depth of perspectives have increased, allowing for a more in-depth exploration of the porcelain-making process and a more precise tracing of the provenance of exported wares. However, there are still weaknesses and aspects that need to be further developed, as well as limitations such as too few test specimens, insufficient awareness of the problem and high barriers to cooperation.
