景德镇历史悠久,千年窑火不断。汉唐以来以盛产陶瓷而著称于世,景德镇在明代时就与河南朱仙镇、湖北汉口镇、广东佛山镇并称为中国四大名镇。
Jingde Town has a long history and the kilns there continue working after thousands of years of use. The town is famous for producing porcelain wares following the Han and Tang dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, Jingde Town was known as one of China’s four most famous towns together with Zhuxian Town of Henan Province, Hankou Town of Hubei Province and Foshan Town of Guangdong Province.
只有到了景德镇才能感受到陶瓷的无穷魅力。在景德镇可以看到距今一千多年历代的民窑、官窑,规模巨大的龙窑遗址,还有全国独一无二的瓷乐表演。
Only after visiting Jingde Town can you experience the endless charm of porcelain. In the town, you can see the civil kilns and official kilns of various dynasties, in addition to the relics of large-scale Dragon Kiln. Here, you can also enjoy porcelain musical performances, the only ones in China.
无论是在古窑博物馆还是在窑里古镇,只要你一低头,可以看到脚边都是各式各样碎瓷片,当地人说,景德镇是建在一千多年大小瓷窑留下的瓷器上面。因此,毫不夸张的说,我们是踩在历代遗留下的古董碎瓷片上旅游。
No matter if you are in a museum of ancient kilns or an ancient town of kilns, when you look down you will see broken porcelain pieces around your feet. The local people say that Jingde Town was built on pieces of porcelain from the kilns more than 1,000 years ago. To say that you are walking on antiques and porcelains from various dynasties is no exaggeration.
景德镇因烧制皇家御瓷名扬天下,成为世界上第一个以皇帝年号命名的城镇,是称雄瓷业千年的中华瓷都。中国的英文名称CHINA的小写就是瓷器的意思,CHINA的英文发音源自景德镇的历史名称昌南,这座城市的一切都突出了景德镇瓷器在世界的影响和地位,以及她本身的陶瓷文化底蕴。
