Jingdezhen folk kilns in the late-Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the features of Jingdezhen folk kilns in the social and economic transformation. Modern ceramic education rises, yet it was strongly protested by the potters. Early modernization of Jingdezhen’s folk kilns was not only a change in the traditional production mode, but the disappearance of traditional culture and customs.
