Visit the traditional ceramics base: Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum

#2024TravelReview

The trip to Jiangxi brought us to the famous Porcelain Capital #Jingdezhen, which has a 1,700-year history of pottery making. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it exported large quantities of porcelain to Europe, driving a boom in the kiln-fired porcelain industry.

#御窑博物馆 is located in the historical area on the east side of the Imperial Kiln Site. It consists of more than six brick vaults based on traditional kiln types, giving you a sense of visiting Yingge. The main structure, like an ancient kiln, extends below street level, which is quite design-oriented.

The museum exhibits nearly 800 precious cultural relics that were unearthed and restored from the ruins of the imperial kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Doucai Chicken Cup, the Blue and White Cricket Jar with Running Dragon Pattern, the Blue and White Ruyi Head-shaped Pillow, etc. If you just visit from a cursory perspective, they are quite fresh.

The ruins of the Imperial Kiln still retain the huge chimney of the kiln, which is tall and sharp, and seems to be telling the great achievements of the past. The entire park is quite large, with antique-style streetscapes, which makes walking around it full of historical charm.
