景德镇手工瓷业遗存于7月25日被联合国教科文组织第48届世界遗产大会列入《世界遗产名录》[1],填补了瓷主题遗产的国际保护空白。随着这项认定,中国的世界遗产总数增至61项,与意大利并列世界第一[1]。
该遗存由5个组成部分、15个遗产构成要素和45个点位组成[1],完整保留了瓷业的全工序产业生态系统与千年技艺传承。景德镇至今仍传承着明代《天工开物》中记载的制瓷工艺,体现了"一坯工力,过手七十二,方克成器"的制作特点[1]。目前景德镇拥有陶瓷行业从业人员十余万人,其中"景漂"群体超过六万,包括约五千名外籍陶艺从业者[1]。
这座瓷都的国际影响力不断扩大,已与全球180多座城市建立友好联系[1],吸引来自50多个国家和地区的艺术家在此常驻创作[1]。
Jingdezhen's hand-made porcelain industry heritage was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 25, 2026, at the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, filling a significant gap in the recognition of ceramic-themed heritage sites [1]. The inscription comprises five component parts encompassing 45 individual locations, which together preserve a complete industrial ecosystem and a thousand-year tradition of ceramic craftsmanship [1]. This achievement brings China's total number of inscribed world heritage sites to 61, tying the country with Italy for first place globally [1].
The heritage site represents an exceptional example of continuous production techniques and knowledge transmission. Jingdezhen maintains an intact production chain spanning all stages of porcelain manufacturing, a practice documented in the Ming dynasty text Tiangong Kaiwu, which notes that a single piece of porcelain "passes through the hands of seventy-two workers before it can be completed" [1]. The city currently employs over one hundred thousand workers in the ceramics industry, including a "floating population" of more than sixty thousand migrants and approximately five thousand foreign artists and artisans [1]. Jingdezhen has established cooperative relationships with more than 180 cities worldwide, attracting artists from over fifty countries and regions who reside and create work in the city [1].
