What would you write about Jingdezhen? I guess ceramics would undoubtedly take the lead

Today, I flipped through old albums and saw photos taken in Jingdezhen the year before last. The temperature back then was even cooler than now. The ceramics and culture there left a deep impression on me. Wandering through the famous Jingdezhen, known both domestically and abroad, it feels both familiar and strange to me. Everywhere you go, in the streets and alleys, through all meals and seasons, in every line written, there are traces of ceramics. In Jingdezhen, you can experience the process of making pottery from nothing. But before the unremarkable clay transforms into elegant, smooth, exquisite, simple, and softly lined treasures, few remember the hardships they have endured. I recall a poem that describes the Ru kiln like this: 'After the rain, the sky clears and the clouds break, such a color will be made for the future. In what year will the azure image perch on the spiritual rock, trampling the jade into dust. The brilliant treasure light opens the Buddha land, the crystal white air presses the cinnabar stairs.' My personal feeling about ceramics is that the ancient times focused on craftsmanship, while modern times focus on individuality. Ancient descriptions of Jingdezhen ceramics were 'white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and resonant as a chime,' whereas modern pottery is characterized by its peculiar shapes, rich colors, diverse styles, and strong inclusiveness. I think many who have visited Jingdezhen would share my sentiments. There, many artists, art workers, and young people who love ceramics gather, and the number of people who visit for its fame is countless. If I were to visit Jingdezhen again, I would seek a different Jingdezhen.
