Exhibition: One Thousand Years of Jingdezhen Porcelain
In 2004, the exhibition toured to Japan as to celebrate the 1000 year anniversary of Jingdezhen. The exhibition was launched in Tokyo during Chinese New Year. More than 20,000 people visited the exhibition in 7 days. Then it toured to other cities including Osaka, Sapporo, and more. ‘It is a
miracle that an ancient industry still enjoys such vitality after a thousand years!’ commented Hirayama Ikuo, Head of the Sino-Japan Friendship Association.
Jingdezhen Porcelain
For over 2,000 years, Jingdezhen was known as the Porcelain Capital of the world. Originally known as Xinpin, its name was changed when Emperor Jingde (1004-1007) of the Southern Song dynasty, decreed all the pieces made for court to be marked 'made in the Jingde period’.
The porcelain industry experienced further development at Jingdezhen during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when skills were perfected and quality refined; government kilns were set up to cater exclusively to the need of the imperial house.
