The Twelve Hours of Jingdezhen
Jingdezhen: The millennium-old porcelain capital is revitalized, continuing a new chapter in ceramic civilization and a city of creativity From ancient kiln fires to international exchange, see how “Changnan” has moved toward contemporary vitality
Jingdezhen, a city with a thousandyear history of porcelain making, is continuing ceramic civilization with a new look. The video "Twelve Hours in Jingdezhen," released by Xinhua News Agency on July 25, begins with the ancient name "Changnan" and the inheritance of kiln fires, showing the process by which this city has gone from an important center of the ancient porcelain industry to a contemporary city of creativity.
The report mentions that Jingdezhen is not only an important node connecting porcelain trade between Europe and Asia, but also a city where living heritage, cultural innovation, and international exchanges proceed in parallel today. Clay, flames, and artisans' skills form the core character of this "Porcelain Capital."
This work was jointly produced by Xinhua News Agency's International Department, Jiangxi Branch, and Di'er Studio, aiming to present Jingdezhen's historical depth and contemporary expression through imagery.
