Zhushan Eight Friends / 珠山八友
Zhushan Eight Friends / 珠山八友 are the loose Jingdezhen porcelain-painting group discussed in No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode says the label formed around artists such as Wang Qi and Wang Dafan after a porcelain-panel commission and later became a name for a wider artistic route in modern Jingdezhen.
The group matters because it shifts porcelain value from anonymous workshop output toward named artistic style. In the source, poetry, signatures, seals, literati painting language, and personal reputation begin to affect porcelain prices, making Art Commerce Integration part of Jingdezhen / 景德镇’s modern transition.
