它的英文名，叫做china！

“中华向号瓷之国，瓷业高峰是此都”。

“此都”指的就是景德镇，位于江西省东北部。

千余年来，这里形成了独具特色的手工制瓷工艺生产体系，创造了中国陶瓷史上最灿烂的一段历史。

景德镇自五代时期开始生产瓷器到了宋代，景德镇的瓷业已初具雏形。

明、清以后，形成了众多的手工业工场，景德镇由此成为陶瓷大都会，为瓷业习俗的最终形成奠定了坚实的基础。

景德镇手工制瓷工艺的行业分工极其细致，核心的工序包括拉坯、利坯、施釉、画坯和烧窑等。

拉坯是成型的最初阶段，是用轮制成型的方法制成一定形状和尺寸的坯件。

利坯 将粗坯经过两次旋削，使原本的粗坯厚度适当、表里一致。

施釉 在器坯内外涂上一层玻璃质釉，使它更加光润。

画坯 用青花料在坯胎上绘画，打青花箍或写上青花字。

烧窑 成瓷的最后一道关键工序，需要用一天一夜的时间，把坯胎烧成瓷胎。

景德镇瓷器也以“白如玉，明如镜，薄如纸，声如磬”的独特风格享誉海内外。

景德镇的瓷器品种齐全，其中的青花瓷、玲珑瓷、粉彩瓷、色釉瓷，被称为景德镇四大传统名瓷。

正是景德镇得天独厚的气候特点、瓷土资源和森林资源等自然条件，奠定了景德镇作为“瓷都”的历史地位。

Porcelain making in Jingdezhen

China is famous for its delicate porcelain, and the city that represents the peak of porcelain making is Jingdezhen, which lies in the northeastern part of Jiangxi province.

Over the past thousand years, a unique handmade porcelain production system has been formed here, creating a glorious history in Chinese porcelain making.

Porcelain making in Jingdezhen originated in the Five Dynasties Period (907-960) and began to take shape during the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

In the following Ming and Qing dynasties (1360-1911), Jingdezhen gradually developed into a porcelain capital where many famous workshops emerged, laying a solid foundation for the final standard of the porcelain making industry.

The key processes of making Jingdezhen porcelain include wheel throwing, fine trimming, glazing, painting, and firing.

During wheel throwing, craftsmen place clay on a spinning base and transform it into shapes.

Then various tools are used to rub and polish the clay body to ensure even thickness.

The glaze, made up of quartz, kaolin and other minerals, is applied to make the porcelain glow.

Decorative patterns or Chinese characters are painted on the clay body as well.

Firing is the last key precedure, which takes at least 24 hours.

Jingdezhen porcelain is dubbed "as fine as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and as tuneful as a bell."

The four classic types of Jingdezhen porcelain include blue-white porcelain, rice pattern porcelain, famille rose, as well as color-glazed porcelain.

The natural environment of Jingdezhen, including its mild climate and abundant clay resources, has helped make it the world’s porcelain capital.
