Jingdezhen / 景德镇
Jingdezhen / 景德镇 is the Jiangxi / 江西 city at the center of No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode treats it as a long-running porcelain production system whose value came from raw materials, water transport, specialized labor, official and export orders, kiln know-how, market intermediaries, and city ecology rather than from a single object or isolated technique.
The source follows Jingdezhen from early 青白瓷 and 元青花 through the 御窑厂, late Qing and Republican industrialization attempts, post-1949 state-owned factories, the 1990s market transition, and the contemporary mix of 景漂 creators, 陶溪川, livestream ecommerce, tourism, and advanced ceramics.
Key Claims

- The city is historically connected to Fuliang / 浮梁, Hutian Kiln Site / 湖田古瓷窑址, Gaoling Village / 高岭村, and Changling Porcelain Stone Mine / 长岭瓷石矿遗址 rather than only to finished museum objects.
- Modern Jingdezhen has cultural visibility and tourist pull that exceed its provincial GDP ranking, making it a case for Long-Term Place Operation as well as manufacturing history.
