Brief Introduction to Jingdezhen
Located in northeast of Jiangxi, Jingdezhen, was a town famous as "The Chinaware Capital". With a mild and cool climate, it covers an area of 3,031 square miles, and has a population of 611,030. Jingdezhen is well-known for the manufacture of all kinds of porcelains. Its white glazed porcelain was known as the "false jade ware" in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, it became one of the four famous towns in China, the other three being Foshan in Guangdong, Hankou in Hubei, and Zhuxian in Henan. As long as 2000 years ago, in the Han Dynasty, some ancient kilns for pottery were built here. Since the Tang Dynasty, the white glazed china produced there had earned the name "artificial jade ware". In the Northern Song Dynasty, officials were assigned by the emperor to the town to supervise the manufacturing of porcelain for the royal families, and Jingdezhen china began to make its fame abroad. In the following centuries, Jingdezhen china was sold to many countries across the world. If you want to learn the origin and history of porcelain manufacture in China, you can go to Jingdezhen Ceramic Museum and Jingdezhen Expo Zone of Ceramic History. The Ancient Street will bring you back to ancient times and enjoy the different life in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Once served as imperial ceramic plant, Dragon Pearl Pavilion and Jingdezhen Ancient Folk Kiln Museum can show you the history and expose some of the valuable imperial ceramics. Supposedly you wander around the Auspicious Alleyway Dwelling Houses of Ming Dynasty, and then you look like a local people centuries ago. The Ancient County Government Office of Fuliang also can reflect the development of this place. Today, it is a light industry town with green mountains and beautiful waters around, and many chinawares factories and porcelain clay ores can be seen. Almost 10% residents of the town are employed in the ceramic industry. Chinaware-shops on each side of the streets are very distinctive. The spring and autumn are the best time for travelers. The People's Square is the center of communications, where you can find buses going to any places. You may take the fights or trains from the cities nearby. It will take you 7 hours to Nanchang, the capital of Jingxi province.
