中國瓷
唐朝時期，人們就在昌南建造窯坊(kiln),燒制出一種青白瓷(bluish white porcelain)。青白瓷色彩晶瑩，有“人造玉器”的美稱，因而遠近聞名，并大量出口歐洲。當時，歐洲人還不會制造瓷器，因此中國特別是昌南鎮的瓷器很受歡迎。 在歐洲，昌南鎮瓷器是備受珍愛的貴重物品，人們以能獲得一件昌南鎮瓷器為榮。因此，歐洲人就以“昌南”作為瓷器和生產瓷器的“中國”的代稱。久而久之，歐洲人就把昌南的本意忘卻了，只記得它是“瓷器”，即“中國”了。
參考譯文：
In the Tang Dynasty, people started to build kilns to make bluish white porcelain in Changnan. The bluish white porcelain was glittering and had the reputation of artificial jade, so it became famous home and abroad and was exported to Europe in large amount. At that time, Europeans were not able to make porcelain,so porcelain from China，especially from Changnan，was warmly welcomed. In Europe，porcelain from Changnan was luxurious article cherished by everyone, and obtaining even one piece of it would make people feel very proud. In this way，Europeans used Changnan as the code name for china (porcelain) and the place of its production，China. Gradually, Europeans forgot the original meaning of Changnan，only remembering it is “china”，namely“China”.

中國玉
中國人對玉(jade) —向有著特殊的尊愛之情，從而延伸發展出一種優秀而古老的玉石文化。作為配飾供人賞玩是玉器的原始功能之一，也是玉器最廣泛的一種用途。玉器作為一種文物，它也是歷史的見證，有著不可復制的唯一性，更為當今世人所器重。玉器從一種美化生活的裝飾品，到簡單的生產工具，然后被融入各種禮節(ritual)內容，被人格化、道德化，繼而被看成是財富的象征、宗教圖 騰(totem)的崇拜……這些無不反映出中國傳統文化和中華民族愛玉的心理。
