“中国文化之旅”在景德镇拉开帷幕

Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province is the famous ceramic city of China. It is known as one of China's four famous towns from the Ming and Qing dynasties, along with Foshan (Guangdong province), Hankou (Hubei province), and Zhuxianzhen (Henan province).

Early this summer at the end of May, a number of special guests visited the old porcelain capital. The first "China Culture Journey" campaign kicked off in Jingdezhen. It is hosted by the Bureau for External Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Culture. Diplomats from 19 countries, including Luxembourg, Russia and Hungary paid a visit to the cultural attractions in Jingdezhen. They like the journey very much. And they think the journey can enhance their appreciation of the cultural heritage and development of Chinese porcelain. What’s more, they also find it a great opportunity for cultural exchanges and cooperative projects.

Zhu Hong, the vice governor of Jiangxi province, said Jingdezhen ceramics have been the main product in foreign trading for 1,000 years. Jingdezhen has therefore been recognized as the "Millennium Porcelain Capital". Diplomats hoped to deepen the understanding of Jiangxi and strengthen trade and cultural exchanges with foreign countries through this event.

Deputy Secretary of Bureau for External Cultural Relations, Ministry of Culture, Xie Jinying said he believed that having "China Culture Journey" start in Jingdezhen was very meaningful. He said China and porcelain share the same English meaning and the world knows China from china.
