With an open mind, we welcome guests from thousands of miles away, integrate diverse arts, and become a dream city for ceramic artists and a new window for perceiving Chinese culture. With a broad mind, inclusive attitude, and confident and open attitude, we draw on the nutrients of various civilizations, better promote Chinese culture to go global, and enable civilizations from all countries to move forward together through exchanges and mutual learning. Being inclusive is great. Chinese civilization has been renowned for its openness and inclusiveness since ancient times. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Openness and inclusiveness have always been the source of vitality for the development of civilization, and also a significant symbol of cultural confidence. The broad atmosphere of Chinese civilization is due to the open attitude and inclusive mind of Chinese culture since ancient times." Across a thousand years, civilization transcends mountains and seas. Entering Jingdezhen and appreciating the millennium old ceramic culture, one can better feel the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization. Jingdezhen International Ceramic Expo Trading Center, where nearly a thousand ceramic brands from all over the world have settled, helps achieve the goal of "buying globally and selling globally" in ceramic trading; The Taoxichuan Spring and Autumn Festival brings together artists and craftsmen from home and abroad to engage in cultural exchanges; More than 60000 Chinese and foreign "Jingpiao" entrepreneurs have started their businesses here to fulfill their dreams.

Today's Jingdezhen opens its heart, accepts guests from thousands of miles, integrates colorful art, and becomes a dream city for ceramic artists and a new window for perceiving Chinese culture. How can a piece of porcelain connect mountains and seas? How can a 'town' connect to the world? It is the cultural gene of openness and inclusiveness that endows Jingdezhen with the vision and confidence to dialogue with the world, builds a bridge for communication between China and foreign countries, and injects a continuous stream of vitality and energy into ceramic culture. Openness and inclusiveness, conveying cultural identity through 'going global'. Exquisite porcelain should be made, displayed, and even spread. Last August, the official flagship store of Jingdezhen Ceramics in China opened at the Dubai Shopping Center, accelerating the pace of Jingdezhen Ceramics' "going global". According to statistics, since 2013, the average annual growth rate of Jingdezhen's ceramic exports has exceeded 20%. For thousands of years, Jingdezhen porcelain has traveled from the Yangtze River, which is connected by boats and clouds, to the outside world, and has become popular throughout the world. On the map of British museums in the 16th century, there were only three Chinese cities marked, and Jingdezhen was one of them, which shows its influence. Today, Jingdezhen is telling the story of ceramics to the world with a more open attitude. The "Tang Ying Porcelain Workshop" Overseas Ceramic Culture Experience Center has landed in Italy and other places; The World Ceramic Interactive Map integrates digital resources from hundreds of museums and archaeological institutions around the world, allowing you to easily explore the panoramic view of world ceramics with just a click of your fingertips... As the first cultural experimental zone in China, Jingdezhen continues to enhance the dissemination, influence, and impact of ceramic culture. It's not just Jingdezhen porcelain. The "China White Dehua Porcelain" international exhibition plan will take 5 years to hold cultural exchange activities in more than 20 countries and regions; The Longquan kiln ice crack element is integrated into the medals of the Beijing Winter Olympics, stunning athletes from all over the world... Chinese ceramic culture shines with the brilliance of the times in the mutual learning of civilizations. It's not just ceramics. In recent years, from traditional festivals, to Danqing opera rhymes, and to intangible cultural heritage techniques, excellent traditional Chinese culture has continuously crossed mountains and seas, attracting countless fans, allowing the world to better perceive the charm of Chinese culture, and enhancing people to people communication through mutual exchanges. Openness and inclusiveness stimulate cultural vitality through 'bringing in'. Communication and mutual learning are essential requirements for the development of civilization. Only by exchanging and learning from other civilizations, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, can we maintain strong vitality. When mud and sand are mixed together, the light color becomes extraordinary Jingdezhen ceramics have integrated diverse cultures and evolved into countless forms throughout its long historical process. Openness and inclusiveness are the key to the continuous prosperity of the millennium kiln fire. Craftsmen come from all directions, and tools become the world. Jingdezhen always accepts new ideas, tries new crafts, and expresses new aesthetics with an open mind. The Su Ma Li Qing from Persia stands out above Jingdezhen porcelain, creating a legendary tale of blue and white porcelain; The types of vessels such as plum vases, moon hugging vases, and double ear flat vases are a combination of the characteristics of other regional vessels; On the basis of absorbing the nutrients of Chinese painting, the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" have borrowed, absorbed, and applied Western painting techniques to push the creation of pink and colored porcelain to a new peak... They have achieved a diverse range of accomplishments by embracing and integrating elements. Today, the opening story of Jingdezhen is equally exciting. At Taoxichuan International Studio, Michael, a "Ocean View Drifter" from the United States, fiddled with his 3D printer. He applied the painting techniques and cultural elements he learned in Korea, Japan, and other places to his ceramic creations. Launch the "Migratory Bird Program" to attract more foreign artists to work on-site; Extend the entrepreneurial incubation chain to meet the development needs of entrepreneurs at different stages; To create a 'home of scenery and drifting' and provide various assistance for foreign talents... Gathering talents and attracting wisdom, opening up new spaces and creating new possibilities for the ceramic industry, and continuously enriching the porcelain appearance, charm, and culture of Jingdezhen. From Jingdezhen, known as the "18 Provincial Port", to Dunhuang, where diverse cultures converge and blend together, to Quanzhou, known as the "World Merchants Amidst the Sound of the Rising Sea", all attest to the fact that "civilizations exchange through diversity, learn from each other through exchange, and develop through mutual learning". General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "To create a new brilliance of Chinese culture, we must have a broader vision, carry out cultural exchanges with other countries more widely, and actively learn from all the excellent achievements of world civilization." On the new journey, we must uphold openness and inclusiveness, adhere to not forgetting our roots, absorbing foreign cultures, and facing the future, transform through inheritance, surpass through learning, promote the localization of foreign cultures, and continuously cultivate and create socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Inclusiveness is a prominent characteristic of Chinese civilization; Openness and inclusiveness are the cultural genes of the Chinese nation. The people of the CPC in the new era actively integrate into the world development process with an open and inclusive attitude. They advocate that civilization exchanges transcend civilization estrangement, civilization mutual learning transcends civilization conflict, and civilization tolerance transcends civilization superiority. They have achieved creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, which also strongly proves that "different civilizations can learn from each other on an equal footing and mutually benefit from each other.". Chinese culture is both national and global. On the path of progress, with a broad mindedness, inclusive attitude, and confident and open attitude, we will draw nourishment from the civilizations of various countries, better promote Chinese culture to go global, and enable civilizations of all countries to advance together through exchange and mutual learning. We will surely write a new chapter of beautiful and common human civilization. (New Society)
