中新社景德镇8月22日电 (记者 姜涛) “这块陶瓷很有特色,看到这么多人排队,我也想一探究竟。”22日,在千年瓷都江西景德镇陶阳里历史文化街区,龙珠阁前一块留有缺口的创意青花瓷片旁,来自日本高松的青年学生田佃明日香排队等待在这一备受青睐的拍照点留影。
近年来,江西景德镇致力于创造出更具感染力、影响力的陶瓷文化新业态,“去有瓷儿的地方”成为景德镇吸引外地游客的新标签。绵延九公里的陶源谷汇集了手工作坊、青创空间、品牌展厅、艺术家工作室等,沿途皆是吸引年轻人的陶瓷创意元素。
此次,来自日本友城青少年江西访问团的30余名青年代表走进陶瓷世界,徜徉景德镇三宝陶源谷度假区、陶溪川文创街区、陶阳里历史文化街区、御窑厂遗址等景点,触摸感知瓷都景德镇的“瓷儿”。
手工拉坯、瓷上作画、逛瓷店、买瓷器、看瓷景……这些体验让日本青年们对中国陶瓷文化产生了浓厚的兴趣。今年读大四的田佃明日香,在加拿大一家中餐馆工作时认识了很多中国朋友,被中国美食和文化吸引的她了解到此次机会便第一时间报名。“第一次到中国,跟想像中的一样,人们很友善。我很开心品尝到了更多没吃过的中国美食,也更近距离地感受到了陶瓷文化的魅力。”
刚过18岁生日的日本大一学生藤田实红在景德镇一品牌展厅精心选购了自己心仪的陶瓷杯和花器。“它们上面的图案都非常精美,在日本很少见到,作为送给自己的成人礼物,也带几个陶瓷杯回去跟好友分享。”
夜幕降临,景德镇陶溪川文创街区的陶瓷创意市集人头攒动,年轻人带上自己的原创作品出摊。一处台阶上方,来自当地高校的学生乐团正在演唱流行歌曲吸引不少游客驻足聆听。
在美國留学的日本青年三崎摩卡在一处摊位选购了一条陶瓷手链戴在手腕,并向记者展示她买的一块刻有景德镇知名地标的纪念徽章。“这里把工业遗存和现代创意结合得恰到好处,行走在街区市集中,既能感受到这里深厚的历史底蕴,也可以感受到一股青春蓬勃的创造力。”
参访期间,日本青年还走进当地陶瓷院校,与中国学子共同体验交流陶瓷制作技艺。日本高松市青少年访问团领队片山智规表示,中日陶瓷交往历史积淀深厚,此次访问加深了青年一代的了解。“三天的陶瓷之旅,相信是大家人生中的一次宝贵经历,希望他们以瓷为媒、友谊长存。”

## Japanese Youth Encounter China’s Porcelain Capital, Charm of Ceramic Culture Transcends Borders
**Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, August 22(CNS) -** “This piece of pottery is very unique, seeing so many people lining up, I want to check it out too.” On August22nd, at the Taoyangli Historical and Cultural District in Jingdezhen, the千年瓷都 (Millennium Porcelain Capital), a young student from Takamatsu, Japan, Asaka Taden, was queuing up to takea picture at a popular photo spot, a creative blue and white porcelain piece with a missing corner.
In recent years, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, has been dedicated to creating new ceramic cultural industries that are more engaging and influential. “Go to a place with porcelain” has become a new label for Jingdezhen to attract tourists from other parts of China. The 9-kilometer-long Taoyuan Valley gathers handcraft workshops, youth innovation spaces, brand showrooms, artist studios, and more, with ceramic creative elements attracting young peoplealong the way.
This time, over 30 young representatives from the Japanese Friendship City Youth Delegation to Jiangxi visited the ceramic world, strolling through the Sanbao Taoyuan Valley Resort, Taoxichuan Creative Street, Taoyangli Historical and Cultural District, and the Imperial Kiln Site, touching andfeeling the “porcelain” of Jingdezhen, the Porcelain Capital.
Hand-pulling pottery, painting on porcelain, browsing porcelain shops, buying porcelain, and viewing porcelain scenery… these experiences have sparked a strong interest in Chinese ceramic culture among the Japanese youth. Asaka Taden, a senior this year,met many Chinese friends while working at a Chinese restaurant in Canada. Attracted by Chinese cuisine and culture, she learned about this opportunity and signed up immediately. “This is my first time in China, and it’s just like I imagined, people are very friendly. I’m happy to have tasted more Chinese foodI’ve never had before, and I’ve also experienced the charm of ceramic culture up close.”
Mihito Fujita, a Japanese freshman who just celebrated his 18th birthday, carefully selected a ceramic cup and vase he liked at a brand showroom in Jingdezhen. “The patterns on themare very beautiful, they’re rarely seen in Japan. As a gift for my coming-of-age, I’ll also bring a few ceramic cups back to share with my friends.”
As night falls, the ceramic creative market in Taoxichuan Creative Street in Jingdezhen is bustling with people.Young people set up stalls with their original works. Above a set of steps, a student band from a local university is singing popular songs, attracting many tourists to stop and listen.
Moka Misaki, a Japanese youth studying in the United States, picked out a ceramic bracelet at a stall and put it on herwrist. She also showed the reporter a commemorative badge she bought with the famous landmarks of Jingdezhen engraved on it. “Here, they combine industrial heritage with modern creativity perfectly. Walking through the street market, you can feel the profound historical heritage of this place, but also a youthful and vibrant creativity.”
During theirvisit, the Japanese youth also visited local ceramic colleges and universities, experiencing and exchanging ceramic making techniques with Chinese students. Tomonori Katayama, the leader of the Takamatsu City Youth Delegation, said that the history of ceramic exchange between China and Japan is deeply rooted, and this visit has deepened the understanding between theyounger generation. “This three-day ceramic journey will be a valuable experience in everyone’s lives. We hope that they will use porcelain as a medium to foster lasting friendship.”
