This invention relates to a kind of ceramic aggregate for road building, which has a mass-fraction composition as follows: 55~60% SiO2, 25~30% Al2O3, 4~7% K2O, 3~5% Li2O, 0.1~0.6% CaO, 2~5% MgO, 0.1~0.8% Fe2O3 and inorganic ceramic pigment weighing 3~5wt% of the total components mentioned above. The ceramic aggregate is fabricated by low-temperature firing. In this invention, raw material composition suitable for rapid low-temperature firing is designed, and therefore, raw materials are low-cost, the technique is simple and efficient, the firing temperature can be lowered by 150~200 deg. C compared to previous techniques and thus it's energy-saving, the firing period is shortened to 4~6 hours and the product eligibility is raised from 80% to over 98%. Besides, the water absorption rate is lower than 1.0%. It has good thermo stability and no cracking comes out when heated or refrigerated sharply. It also has high strength, good wear resistance with a wear rate lower than 13%, a small density of 2.2~2.8 gram per cu cm and high impact strength.
