Longquan Celadon Museum: Preserving Ancient Art

The entrance to the Longquan Celadon Museum is designed like a kiln opening, accompanied by the sound of cracking porcelain, reminiscent of crisp wind chimes.

Longquan celadon production began during the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties period, with a history spanning over 1,000 years. This porcelain is renowned worldwide for its jade-like glaze and elegant, dignified forms.

The museum's exhibition hall, "Symphony of Earth and Fire," demonstrates the entire process from crushing porcelain clay, screening ingredients, washing and filtering, to shaping and trimming the body, decorating and drying, and biscuit firing and glazing, allowing visitors to appreciate this fascinating process.

The museum's cultural creative products area features exquisite porcelain items, including celadon refrigerator magnets, which are quite distinctive.

Walking through the Longquan Celadon Museum is like traveling through thousands of years of history. The celadon treasures displayed in the showcases silently tell stories of past glory. From them, you can see the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen and feel the profound cultural heritage of Longquan celadon. With modern technological developments, Longquan celadon continues to innovate while preserving traditional characteristics, and this museum serves as a window showcasing the charm of Longquan celadon to the world.
