Decipher the production process and history of Jingdezhen ceramics and enjoy the musical performance of porcelain.

Visit the ancient kilns in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, decipher Jingdezhen ceramic craft and history, and enjoy porcelain music performances.

Introduction of scenic spots

Jingdezhen ancient kiln folk exhibition area is mainly divided into two parts: historical ancient kiln exhibition area and ceramic folk exhibition area. Here, you can see the ancient porcelain kilns from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, reproduce the style of Jingdezhen porcelain industry in the 15 and 16 centuries, and enjoy the unique porcelain music performances. Most of the buildings in the scenic area are transformed from old houses, so that visitors can understand Jingdezhen's ceramic culture in the antique.

After entering the gate of the scenic spot, all the scenic spots have porcelain road signs to indicate the direction. On the right is the historical ancient kiln exhibition area. First of all, you can visit the Fire Phoenix Temple, which is to commemorate Tong Bin who devoted himself to burning kilns during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations respected him as a kiln god. Walking in the street is a row of workshops selling exquisite ceramic handicrafts, but the prices are very expensive. Further inside is the highlight of this area-ancient kilns of different ages. In turn, we can see the town kilns in Qing Dynasty, the official kilns (green kilns and dragon kilns) in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the gourd kilns in Ming Dynasty, the steamed bread kilns in Yuan Dynasty and the dragon kilns in Song Dynasty. Spend a few dollars to drink a bowl of potter's tea and chat with potter's master, and you can know many stories about porcelain and ancient kiln. Tea can be refilled.

On the left hand side of the gate of the scenic spot is the ceramic folk custom exhibition area. The first thing I saw was Qingyuan Garden, a building complex in the Qing Dynasty. Through the porcelain monument corridor, I came to the late Ming Dynasty. The porcelain pavilion (water stage) on the west side of the porcelain monument corridor can watch free porcelain music performances, and the instruments used are all ceramic.

In addition, in some workshops in the scenic spot, you can pay to participate in ceramic production and DIY a ceramic work of your own.

Special tips

There are many advantages to following a tour group. In addition to listening to the explanations, some kiln workers in the scenic spot are still playing the role of making ceramics. Individual travelers pass by, and the kiln worker may be doing something else. When a large number of tourists from tour groups arrive, they can see the process of making ceramics by kiln workers.
