Walking into Quankou Village, Langya Town, Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, a bluestone road leads people to move deeper into the village. The wall paintings of ancient kilns, the walls adorned with porcelain tiles, and the flower beds embedded with porcelain jars... Everywhere you look, they are all related to the "kiln", creating a serene, ancient and exquisite atmosphere that immerses people in it. The environment in the village used to be dirty, messy, and poor, with sewage flowing everywhere and a foul odor In 2008, Chen Guixiang, the secretary of the Quankou Village Party Branch, together with the village committee team, decided to take advantage of the "Ten Million Project" to completely change the appearance of the village. The implementation of various beneficial measures for the people, such as power grid renovation, road hardening, land reclamation, construction of senior apartments, and establishment of senior canteens, has not only created a beautiful countryside with beautiful mountains and clear waters, white walls and black tiles, but also gathered a team of village cadres who can fight tough battles. We have a national key cultural heritage site here - the Tiedian Kiln Site. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancestors of Quankou Village began firing kilns to make porcelain In order to improve the lives of the villagers, Chen Guixiang turned his attention to the ancient kiln. How to turn ancient culture into modern industry? Quankou Village has invested more than 4 million yuan to build the Tiedian Kiln Cultural Experience Hall and Cultural and Creative Base, and used this as a platform to deeply explore Tiedian Kiln culture, efficiently utilize Tiedian Kiln ruins, millennium old trees, ancient stone temples and other resources, create a popular check-in point for study tours, launch Tiedian Kiln product exhibitions, Tiedian Kiln study tours and other projects, establish an e-commerce base, train live streaming teams stationed in the village, and let the "millennium kiln charm" drive rural revitalization. Tourists can experience the entire process of porcelain making here, from breaking clay, making blanks, carving, glazing to firing, and personally experience the unique charm of Tiedian kiln culture Chen Guixiang introduced that the experience hall can accommodate 200 people at the same time. In 2023, it will receive more than 40 batches of primary and secondary school students, attract more than 20000 tourists, and directly drive the village collective economy to increase income by more than 300000 yuan. Install the kiln A long shout came, followed by the sound, and saw a dragon kiln over 10 meters long stretching along the mountain, with seven or eight kiln makers busy coding the kiln. This is our reconstructed Tiedian Longyao, and the fourth trial firing will begin tonight. After the success of this kiln, we will hold the 'Kiln Opening Festival' Chen Guixiang told reporters that it takes several days and nights from coding kiln, firing kiln to opening kiln. They plan to transform the surrounding residential buildings into kiln homestays to facilitate tourists to experience the "authentic" kiln culture throughout the process. To develop and utilize kiln culture, no one can do it. To this end, the two committees of Quankou Village conducted a survey among the villagers and formed a local talent pottery making team led by 8 people. They also invited intangible cultural heritage inheritors to the village for guidance, focusing on solving technical problems such as the mixing of milky glaze water in the Tiedian kiln. Chen Lianhua, who is busy with the kiln, is the person in charge of this pottery making team. He was originally a carpenter, but after more than 5 years of study, he has become a famous "master of the village". The development of the village has driven the villagers to become prosperous, and I also want to contribute my own strength to the development of the village During holidays, Chen Lianhua also volunteers to guide students and tourists in making porcelain at the experience center, providing them with the most complete cultural and tourism experience. A gust of fresh wind passed through the boxes filled with blanks, sending crisp wind chimes. The reporter only then noticed that many village entrances were hung with rows of porcelain cups, and the pleasant sound was made by them. Chen Guixiang pointed to a young person next to him who was "observing" and said, "He is Long Wei, a live streaming creator introduced by our village, and also our specially appointed 'rural recommendation officer'. This kiln bell was conceived by him. Longwei originally worked in e-commerce. In 2022, he coincidentally learned about Tiedian Kiln that "rural revitalization relies on industry, and industrial revitalization relies on characteristics. Tiedian Kiln's profound cultural heritage and unique glaze color will definitely become the biggest 'selling point' and will have a market. I didn't expect kiln bells to be popular among young people Recalling the "development" process of kiln bells, Long Wei said that at first he just felt it was a pity to throw away the "defective products" of the kiln, so he tried to make wind chimes. After multiple adjustments, the wind hammer was iterated from the initial nut shell to ceramic beads fired in the Tiedian kiln to achieve the best effect. In addition to setting up e-commerce live broadcasts, Longwei's team also promoted the beautiful scenery of Quankou Village and agricultural products such as lotus flowers, mulberries, and raspberries through short videos. For a time, Quankou became an "internet famous village" with a continuous stream of tourists coming to check in. For example, the lotus pond in the village suddenly became very popular. Previously, villagers needed to bring lotus pods to the city to sell, but now tourists are actively coming to buy them, and lotus pods are in short supply, "said Long Wei. Around the inheritance and promotion of kiln culture, Quankou Village continues to introduce new business models and actively plans an industrial development model of "smart governance+agriculture+homestay", making the entire village full of kiln elements and reflecting kiln culture everywhere. This further expands the tourism markets such as pottery tourism, knowledge tourism, and fun tourism, achieving a magnificent transformation of strong village scenery, beautiful scenery, and rich people. Data shows that in 2023, the total collective economic income of the village will reach 1.38 million yuan, including 1.11 million yuan in operating income, and the per capita disposable income of villagers will reach 35000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8%. We will work year after year, using the 'Ten Million Project' as the 'golden key' to promote high-quality development, continuing to write more rural stories of 'looking forward to the future', and forging a new path for rural revitalization Chen Guixiang's words are full of hope.
