China is known as the "Porcelain Country". Hundreds of years ago, with the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road, Chinese porcelain represented by Jingdezhen porcelain began to gradually enter the eyes of Westerners, especially in European countries. "Hot", Chinese porcelain with a white color like jade is known as "white gold".
In 1710, the small town of Messen in Germany took the lead in setting up its own porcelain factory, and thus developed into the "Porcelain Capital" of Europe.
