When you think of night markets, you'll definitely think of a wide variety of delicacies to satisfy your appetite. Or stalls selling all kinds of trinkets, dazzling all kinds of gadgets. But today I will use the lens to lead you into an alternative night market, the items here are both familiar and unfamiliar to us, this is Jingdezhen Taoxichuan.
Editor: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, an ancient city with a history of 2,000 years of pottery, more than 1,000 years of official kiln history and more than 600 years of imperial kiln history, is famous all over the world for ceramics, and ceramics have naturally become the most shining business card of this city.
Editor: Many friends may ask, Jingdezhen is full of porcelain shops, but looking at the most expensive porcelain is indeed a little prohibitive, is there no place to be close to the people? Of course, this is the protagonist of our article today, "Taoxi River", which is also one of the most popular attractions in Jingdezhen.
Editor: Taoxichuan is located in the center of Zhushan District, Jingdezhen City, only 2 kilometers away from Jingdezhen Railway Station, which can be described as convenient transportation. This is the former site of the state-owned cosmic porcelain factory, the former cosmic porcelain factory can be described as brilliant, it is the first mechanized porcelain factory in Jingdezhen, not only the output is large and the sales volume is high, the first ten years for China's porcelain exports to earn foreign exchange has made great contributions.
However, due to various reasons, this once glorious cosmic porcelain factory gradually declined, and finally disappeared in the long history of the market economy. It wasn't until 2013 that it was reborn. Under the coordination of Jingdezhen**, the Taoxichuan Porcelain Entrepreneurship Cultural Park was created here, and the former factories, porcelain kilns and other original facilities have been preserved as cultural sites.
Editor: Of course, it is absolutely porcelain that sings the leading role here. Walking through the night market, you will find that the stalls are mainly set up by young people. Perhaps because of this, you can rarely see ancient porcelain and traditional porcelain for daily use in Taoxichuan, and instead you can see creative art porcelain.
Editor: As I said earlier, the stall owners here are all young people, so what attracts them here and attracts them to choose Taoxichuan to set up a stall and start a business?
Editor: As I walked through the crowd at the night market, I grabbed my attention from a small couple who were setting up a stall and were chatting in an authentic northern accent, so I squeezed through the crowd and walked over to them to talk. Listening to the little brothers, his name is Yang Dezheng, he is a native of Tianjin, majoring in porcelain design and manufacturing in college, and he came to Jingdezhen from his hometown Tianjin after graduation.
Editor Xiao Yang said: All the products he sells are original by himself, and the market has strict requirements for originality, which has become an important condition for whether he can operate here. Xiao Yang said: Taoxichuan business atmosphere is very good, people come here to set up stalls from all over the country, even abroad, they are affectionately called Jingdezhen's "porcelain drift". They came to Jingdezhen to start a business, and the management not only provided low booth fees, but also got to know each other, technical exchanges and even expert guidance in sales.
Therefore, although there are many stalls in Taoxichuan, it is almost impossible to find the same product, which may also be the charm of Taoxichuan. Tao Xichuan injects new vitality and charm into porcelain through innovation and activity. This not only attracts many tourists, but also promotes the inheritance and innovation of Jingdezhen porcelain culture.
Edit Taoxichuan after nightfall has more taste, because the night market is only set up with basic lighting, so each vendor has taken out their own lighting equipment, a street, the lights are dotted with more experience of the mystery of Taoxichuan night market, tired, tired, find a coffee shop nearby, taste coffee, look out the window, all kinds of smart porcelain flickering in the crowd, feel the prosperity and tranquility between a static and moving.
Editor a handful of porcelain clay, in the hands of tens of millions of people, molded thousands of shapes, a handful of porcelain clay, in thousands of years, accompanied the Chinese for generations. Chinese people will have a special emotion, a special love for porcelain. Maybe you have time to come to Jingdezhen and Taoxichuan, the night market here is definitely worth your stop, it is definitely the most distinctive night market in China.
