Taoyangli's rich culture gets a refreshing look

By DENG ZHANGYU in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi | China Daily | Updated: 2024-10-31 00:00

Zheng Dazhe never imagined he would end up spending an entire afternoon touring porcelain workshops, engaging with craftsmen, and becoming captivated by their stories and creations, but when he visited the Taoyangli historical and cultural district in Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, that's exactly what happened.

Zheng visited the popular tourist destination in September to learn about porcelain. After exploring the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum, he found himself fascinated by the area's many porcelain workshops in their centuries-old courtyards, and had engaging conversations with the craftsmen, learning about the intricate process of making porcelain, from the initial shaping of the clay, to the hand-painting of the designs.

"It's like being in a movie. The porcelain artisans have lived and worked here for centuries. The buildings are old, and the city's glorious history of porcelain making comes vividly alive," says Zheng.
