The Porcelain Palace of a Thousand Years, a Treasure for Ten Thousand Years - Jingdezhen Porcelain Palace
🚘 A self-driving tour of the rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan, to avoid the weekend crowds, I stayed in Jingdezhen for two days. On the third day, I set off early, planning to go through Fuliang and the ancient town of Yaoli to Wuyuan. Leaving the ancient city of Fuliang, I took a detour to the Porcelain Palace. I heard that this Porcelain Palace is somewhat like the Porcelain House in Tianjin. It was built a few years ago by a local lady in her eighties who invested all she had. By now, the old lady must be in her nineties.
✅ This place is called Xinping Village, conveniently located on the main road from Jingdezhen to the ancient town of Yaoli, which is also a geographical advantage. People driving by this place, seeing these uniquely shaped buildings from afar, can't help but turn in for a look. Over time, the Porcelain Palace has gained fame.
✅ I have also visited the Porcelain House in Tianjin, and at that time, I found it a bit strange and didn't particularly like it. However, this Porcelain Palace, I heard, was inspired by the old lady's visit to the Porcelain House in Tianjin. After returning, she felt that Jingdezhen, as the porcelain capital, had unique conditions. Why not build one too? And since she was getting on in years and wealth was nothing but an external possession, she might as well use it to do something concrete for her hometown.
✅ Most people might just think about it and let it go, but the old lady was a person of action and quickly turned her dream into reality. There is not just one Porcelain Palace, but three. The one at the foot of the mountain might be the first built, a three-story circular building resembling a Hakka roundhouse, with a porcelain plaque above the door that reads 'The Porcelain Palace of a Thousand Years, a Treasure for Ten Thousand Years.' The porcelain decorations inside are the most complete and beautiful.
✅ The one halfway up the mountain is also a semi-circular roundhouse, with a terracotta main color and the theme of 'One Belt One Road.' The outer wall of this building is only pieced together with porcelain tiles and does not have porcelain tiles covering the entire surface like the one at the foot of the mountain. There is another one being built at the top of the mountain, square in shape, with its outer walls already covered in porcelain tiles, presumably to echo the one at the bottom, one square and one round, in harmonious unity. Actually, next to the square Porcelain Palace, there is also a half-finished one, which seems to have been abandoned.
✅ This rural Porcelain Palace, although its inspiration came from the Porcelain House in Tianjin, gives a different impression to those who see it, one of amazement and admiration. Perhaps its design and shape are simple and rustic, even somewhat 'earthy,' but these, along with its environment and its owner, are so harmonious that it feels very real and genuinely appreciated from the heart.

🕌Walking into the ceramic palace, I was truly attracted by this type of ceramic architecture. Inside the palace lies the dream of an old lady. At the age of 86, the elderly Yu Ermei, during a trip to Tianjin, discovered a "ceramic house", which inspired her, as a local from the world's porcelain capital, to decide to build a building that belonged only to Jingdezhen.
👵Because of this decision, she had disputes with friends and family. Ignoring everyone's opposition, she devoted her life's efforts and everything she had, just to build a building that belonged to Jingdezhen. Everything has a spirit, and so does porcelain.
🟤The round building is reminiscent of the Fujian Hakka Tulou, with tens of thousands of ceramic pieces, vases, and plates embedded all over it. The exquisite pastel colors and blue-and-white glazes, all four famous types of Jingdezhen porcelain are inlaid into the walls
Breaking and reassembling, the porcelain plates interlock, this is the unique deconstructivist architectural art of the ceramic palace🎨The colorful porcelain, irregular fragments, arranged and reassembled, are orderly inlaid on the walls, with blue-and-white and pastel colors complementing each other, making it a magnificent ceramic palace🕌
👵She said that in her lifetime, being able to see the ceramic palace completed, she would have no regrets. This reminds me of a line from Big Fish & Begonia
🎏In this short life of ours, we will ultimately lose everything. You might as well be bold to love someone, climb a mountain, chase a dream
