History of bricks

Brick is a block of ceramic material which is used in building walls. Bricks usually made by the mortar. Bricks as building material are already known in ancient times. The Romans used the brick and the Roman legions, which were supported by a number of furnaces phones, put a brick in many parts of the empire. Early descriptions of the production process and techniques used in the manufacture of bricks can be found in the Song dynasty, a carpenter from Yingzao Fashi in China. Historically, the manufacturing process of bricks look like this. An employee had to make sure that the temperature inside the furnace remained at a level that caused the transformation of clay to shine and the color of molten gold and silver. He also had to know when the boiler is to be extinguished with water until the enamel surface. Other workers have less job: mixing clay and water, trampling thick paste, smoothing the surface of the arch wire, removing them from the frames, printing of stamps, which indicate where the bricks came from and who is the contractor. The idea of signing the employee name and birth date on a brick and place where this has been done, is not new to the Ming Dynasty and had little or even nothing to do with vanity. As early Qin Dynasty (221 BC -206 BC) required from policy-makers and blacksmiths engraving their names on the arms to track the quality of weapons that remained the standard required by the government.
