Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Park
Working reconstructions of Ming kilns and the seventy-two trades — porcelain as live performance.
The park keeps the old trades employable: throwers at Ming-style wheels, a zhen qiqiao kiln fired on festival days, craftsmen demonstrating each of the seventy-two processes with their original tools.
Children press their own bowls; adults argue with the glaze chemist. The twice-daily firing demonstrations are the closest a visitor gets to the heat that made the town.
