Describe the benefits of transporting porcelain by land or by sea in ancient China. In other words, what are the positive outcomes of each method of transportation?

Explanation:

While pottery was cheap, it had a big disadvantage: permeability. This meant it absorbed liquids, so that it took on the flavor of whatever was last in it. It couldn't be cleaned very well, leaving smells and germs…and it scratched and cracked easily.

With its toughness, thinner, lighter, more-elegant shapes, durability, and easy-clean glassy finish, porcelain was instantly accepted by people as the better alternative to pottery, and quickly improved people's lives, especially eating and drinking.

2. Porcelain Snowballed China's Industrial Development

Generally, a new industry's birth promotes associated industries' development - porcelain went beyond that…

Porcelain's invention not only created new jobs in the kilns, but also spurred on everything around them: from quarrying, forestry, shipbuilding, and transportation, to kiln and workshop construction and tool-making, to printing, design, and painting.
