China is a country of porcelain, and the peak of porcelain industry is this capital. This is a high evaluation of Jingdezhen by Guo Moruo, a famous historian and writer, and Jingdezhen also deserves it.

Before the Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen had several names: Xinping Town, Changnan Town and Yangtao Town. In the Song Dynasty, there were five famous kilns in the north and south, such as Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Ding kiln. At that time, Jingdezhen porcelain production also entered a brand-new period. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, a large-scale celadon (ying porcelain) appeared, which became the representative production area of the whole country.

Because the porcelain painted here is "filled with clay, thin and greasy, and smooth in color", during the reign of Zhenzong Jingdezhen, Emperor Zhao Heng sent someone to Jingdezhen to make royal porcelain for the royal family, and wrote the words "Jingdezhen Year System" at the end. Because "although its wares were beautiful, they were used in the sea at that time, so the name of Jingdezhen porcelain is salty in the world, and the name of Changnan is small."

From then on, it was called "Jingdezhen", and its name has been used ever since, with a history of nearly 1000 years.
