Jingdezhen Porcelain – Exquisite Intangible Cultural Heritage
The core materials of Jingdezhen porcelain are kaolin (gaolingtu) and porcelain stone (cishi). After washing and aging, these materials are proportionally blended into clay body to ensure stability under high-temperature firing.
The meticulous handcrafting process involves multiple stages: hand-throwing on a potter’s wheel, trimming and refining the body, glaze application (including overglaze, in-glaze, and underglaze techniques), and firing.
The firing process, susceptible to damage from temperature fluctuations, contributes to both the extraordinary beauty and relative scarcity of Jingdezhen porcelain.
Jingdezhen ceramics embody dignified elegance, adorned with auspicious motifs such as dragon patterns (longwen, symbolizing imperial authority) and interlocking lotus vines (chanzhilian, representing longevity and harmony).
More than utilitarian objects, Jingdezhen ceramics represent the material embodiment of Chinese civilization. As diplomatic gifts and global trade commodities, they have profoundly influenced ceramic production worldwide.
