Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Museum

Here, there are lush green trees, serene bamboo forests, fragrant grass, and brimming pond waters; deep within the bamboo forest, a winding wooden bridge, on the island in the lake, calligraphy, painting, antiques, the fragrance of tea, the melody of the guqin, all found in the Purple Bamboo Academy. If it weren't for the colorful ceramic and pottery shard mosaics on the bridge piers forming water channels, one might think it's a tranquil and elegant park. Upon closer inspection, the signs, street lamps, plaques, and couplets are all fired from ceramic, which is just the prelude to entering the Ancient Kiln Expo Area. Walking along the path, one frequently encounters porcelain patterns pieced together from broken shards, elegant and beautiful, too lovely to tread upon. Plowing and pottery making, casually embedded in the small paths and green fields are blue and white porcelain dragon jars and large vases. Only upon seeing the majestic statue of Tong Bin does one officially enter the Ancient Kiln Expo Area, and thus enter the world of porcelain. Blue and white porcelain elements can be seen everywhere; on the ground, in the water, in front of halls, behind houses...; porcelain lamps, porcelain columns, porcelain paintings, porcelain characters, porcelain plaques, porcelain jars, porcelain vases...; even the trash bins and restrooms are all made of blue and white porcelain. Porcelain Music Pavilion, an antique building in the middle of Lake Ming, where a group of girls dressed in ceramic-patterned clothing play one melodious tune after another, with clear flute sounds, soft xiao tones, lingering huqin melodies, deep drum beats, accompanied by the ding-dong of chime bells, and many more instruments whose names are unknown, all made of porcelain! A porcelain music feast, truly deserving of the title 'The Charm of Wondrous Porcelain' (inscribed by Qian Qichen)! The Ancient Kiln Area includes ancient kilns from different dynasties—dragon kilns, mantou kilns, gourd kilns, town kilns, lion kilns, and imperial kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This place gathers many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, the real masters! Ceramics is an art of heritage, requiring hundreds, thousands of years, a salute to those 'ordinary people' who silently pass down the art of ceramics, the culture of ceramics!

A thousand-year-old porcelain capital, a must-visit in this lifetime! Just go when you say it! 🚉Transportation guide: High-speed train🚄 Hangzhou Fuyang Station to Jingdezhen North, a taxi ride of about 20 minutes to the city center, Didi costs 22 yuan. Most of the scenic spots in the city can be reached by bus, except for Fuliang Porcelain Palace, Hanxi Village, and Yaoli Ancient Town, which are far away and not recommended for bus travel, too time-consuming! City buses🚌 can get a ride card on Alipay, which makes it very convenient to travel by scanning the code, and Didi is also available! 🏨Hotel environment: The first night stay at Lefeng Hotel (Taoxi Chuan store), right opposite Taoxi Chuan, very convenient! The second and third nights stay at Taoyang Li Pear Garden Hotel, the hotel is located in the Taoyang Li cultural and historical district, and it is also convenient to stroll around. Fuzhou Alley, Imperial Kiln Museum, Imperial Kiln Scenic Alley (where you can check in at Zhongshuge) are all nearby. Opposite the hotel is Changjiang and Zhushan Bridge, it's nice to take a walk in the morning or evening! If you have requirements for dining around, it is recommended to stay near People's Square and Zhejiang Road for convenience. 🍽Dining recommendations: Ouji's big stall and Going Home for Dinner are worth recommending. Ouji's big stall recommends small yellow fish, chicken feet, crab legs, and tofu pudding! Going Home for Dinner has many branches, the Zhejiang Road store is too popular, we checked in at the Ancient Kiln store which is relatively better! The 8 Degree Kitchen downstairs of Lefeng Hotel is also good, stir-fried beef and tofu pudding are recommended! During the period, we also ate at some small shops, but the taste is really not as good as these! Youtiao (fried dough sticks) and mochi, beef bone powder are recommended at Tangji Beef Bone Powder (near Taoxi Chuan) 🗓Itinerary arrangement: Arrived in the evening on the first day, stayed at Lefeng Hotel, had dinner at Ouji's big stall, and then visited the night scene of Taoxi Chuan🌃 The next morning, checked in at Tangji Beef Bone Powder for breakfast, then strolled around Taoxi Chuan during the day, took a taxi to Sanbao Village, it is recommended to take a sightseeing car from the service center, or rent an electric car. We took a taxi to the Sanbao Village Museum, then strolled out leisurely, personally I think there is no special meaning except for taking photos and checking in. In the afternoon, checked in at the Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area, tickets can be purchased online, and it is still worth a visit! After coming out, take the bus two stops to Going Home for Dinner (Ancient Kiln store) for a meal, not crowded and no need to queue! (Stay at Taoyang Li Pear Garden Hotel) The next morning, we originally planned to go to the Porcelain Palace, searched online and it was 1 hour by bus, prepared to go before departure, my son searched on his phone and said it would take 2 hours, so after comparing the two phones for a long time, I saw online comments that what I searched was the Imperial Kiln Porcelain Palace, not the Fuliang Xinping Porcelain Palace, so here is a special reminder, to navigate to the Porcelain Palace, search for Xinping Porcelain Palace! Because it was too far, we gave up on the Porcelain Palace and went to the Imperial Street Scenic Alley around the hotel, but because it was too early, there were not many people on the street, and Zhongshuge was not open yet (opens at 10 am). The surrounding area is a bit messy due to demolition and construction. After strolling, take the bus to the Ceramic Museum, which needs to be booked in advance. When there are few people, it is recommended to book one day in advance, like during the Spring Festival and other holidays, the earlier the better, to avoid not getting a spot. The Ceramic Museum is still worth a visit, and it requires queuing to take photos with the speechless Buddha. Basically, 2 hours is enough! After lunch, go back to the hotel to rest, and walk to the Imperial Kiln South Gate at 4 pm, the Imperial Kiln Museum needs to be booked in advance (free), but entering the Imperial Kiln Museum requires purchasing a ticket for Taoyang Li. In the evening, you can see both the daytime and nighttime views of the Imperial Kiln, worth a visit, the scenic area is not as big as imagined. After the tour, ordered stir-fried noodles and side dishes at a nearby small shop, the stir-fried noodles were good, but the side dishes were a pitfall! Finally, I want to say that the overall feeling is okay, the impression of the city: Jingdezhen is a city with a rich cultural and historical heritage, the design of the attractions is good, but the overall construction of the city does not seem to be consistent enough, for example, we saw many old houses in the old city being demolished, shouldn't these be renovated and protected? The sanitary condition on the streets is also not satisfactory. While protecting the relics, it is necessary to plan well for the development of the city!

Beautiful environment, comfortable feeling You can buy a package ticket on Ctrip, you can experience the ancient method of making bowls (not far from the entrance) There are also places where you can experience pulling embryos in the ancient kiln, with a variety of choices I wandered around the Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area for half a morning. If there are no other schedules, you can stay for a day, a very quiet place. Listen to the sound of water, look at the trees, experience the slow-paced life

Jingdezhen·Jiangxi Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area How can you not eat the eight big bowls when you come to Jingdezhen? How can you not drink the four special wines? I was awakened at six o'clock to visit the kiln in the name of morning exercises, crossing the streets and alleys, and I walked into a park-like place in a daze. This ancient kiln folklore expo area is open to local residents for morning exercises from six thirty to seven thirty. The aunts are dancing square dances in front of the bronze statue of Fenghuo Xianshi Tongbin, and the red folding fans are swaying powerfully. A few old men are driven to the corner of the wall to dance the wooden sword of the Taoist immortal. The high walls and flying eaves of Qingyuan Minglu are all green bricks and black tiles. Even if you don't go in, the halls and side rooms are already lined up in your mind. Walking into the bamboo forest, the slope gradually eases, although the breeze is blowing gently, it can't resist the sweat soaking the clothes. Then casually passed by the Qing Dynasty town kiln, Song Dynasty dragon kiln, steamed bun kiln, gourd kiln, the wind and rain have already found no trace of ancient meaning, it is better than a rotten bowl or half a vase embedded in the mud wall nestled in the grass, the morning sun warmly shines on the ancient well. The noon sun began to blaze, the wind on the tenth floor of the urban oasis made people drowsy, thinking about the broken porcelain pieces laid all over the porcelain capital, or gritted my teeth and came to Taoxichuan, Taoxichuan where I was the only one, walking through every street, except for a few wilted young men and women, everything was as quiet as a chimney that would no longer smoke.
