Jingdezhen ( Jingdezhen ) belonged to ChuJing during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period , Qin was the county of Fan County , Jiujiang County , Han belonged to Poyang County , Yuzhang County , and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was called Xinping Town.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was also known as Changnan Town. Speaking of Changnan Town, I have to mention a palm.

As early as the eighteenth century, Europeans could not make porcelain, and they were particularly fond of the exquisite porcelain of Changnan Town, when the European nobles regarded Changnan Town porcelain as a treasure, and if they could put a piece of Changnan Town porcelain in their homes, it was a symbol of the owner's power and status.

As porcelain was highly regarded by Europeans, gradually Europeans used "Changnan" as a synonym for porcelain and "China" for the production of porcelain. This is the origin of the English name that everyone often says that Jingdezhen gave China an English name.

In the first year of The Song Zhenzong Jingde, because the town of Changnan produced blue and white porcelain with excellent texture and was deeply loved by the emperor, Song Zhenzong (1004 AD) gave his era name to Changnan Town, and Changnan Town was renamed Jingdezhen and has been used ever since.

As one of the earliest industrial cities in China, Jingdezhen attracted outstanding talents from all over the country at that time.

Regarding porcelain making, the Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing wrote in "Tiangong Kaiwu": "A total of one billet of power, seventy-two hands, square grams into a tool." Among them, the micro program is not yet exhausted. ”

That is to say, a piece of porcelain needs to go through 72 processes to become a tool, and Jingdezhen had the highest quality talent echelon in the country at that time, and each process was controlled by the most experienced master in China at that time.

Today' Jingdezhen ceramic industry annual output value has reached 30 billion yuan, the city's 1.69 million people, more than 300,000 people directly or indirectly engaged in the industry.

Founded in 1910, Jingdezhen Ceramic University is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy of Chinese Ceramics", and it is also the only multidisciplinary institution of higher learning in the world named after ceramics. In a sense, it and Jingdezhen echo and reflect each other, and also nourish each other.

Every year, more than 5,000 foreigners flock to Jingdezhen, which is known as "Ocean Drift". The International College of Jingdezhen Ceramic University, where Zhang Jingjing is located, has a group of foreign students studying here.
