(230428) -- JINGDEZHEN, April 28, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Cai Wenjuan (1st R) imparts blue-and-white porcelain painting techniques to her team members in Jingdezhen, east China's Jiangxi Province, April 19, 2023. Known as "porcelain capital," Jingdezhen in east China is famous for ceramic-making. The blue-and-white porcelain is a representative pattern of Chinese ceramics known to overseas art collectors. Born into a family of blue-and-white porcelain makers, Cai Wenjuan, a Jingdezhen native chose to carry on the family craft of porcelain painting. As a provincial inheritor of the blue-and-white porcelain making, Cai endeavors to pass on the craft by integrating the ancient charm of blue-and-white porcelain with modern aesthetics. Cai launched her own brand to promote new painting designs. "Ceramics embrace change. I'm here to inherit the tradition in an innovative way, and then create my own works," she said.

              (231226) -- JINGDEZHEN, Dec. 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Luo Xiaocong (R) shares his work with students at an exhibition hall of Jingdezhen Ceramic University in Jingdezhen, east China's Jiangxi Province, Dec. 14, 2023. Luo Xiaocong, a 59-year-old professor at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, has been dedicated to modern porcelain painting for years. Different from traditional ways for blue and white porcelain painting, a craft known as "Tiqing", or "blue pigment shaving" in English, was created by Luo in inspiration of skills used in woodblock and lacquer paintings. The craft is to splash blue pigment, which is black or brown before firing, on a clay base first to form contours of mountains and clouds, and then use a razor blade to shave off parts of the pigment to form designed patterns. The challenge lies in that it shaves liquid materials rather than solid ones, which requires more skills and patience. After more than 20 years of trying, Luo Xiaocong can now create different patterns according to the t
