When he stood next to his work and introduced it to reporters, Ji Dong, a "post-90s" celadon craftsman, seemed a little shy, but when he really talked about the design concept of the work, he was full of confidence. with enthusiasm.

　　It is understood that "Song Porcelain Dreams" - Celadon Immersive Interactive Art Exhibition is one of the highlights of this Celadon Conference. Including Ji Dong, 60 "post-80s" and "post-90s" masters from Zhejiang province and Lishui city It will be exhibited together with more than 80 celadon works of outstanding young artists, implying the "passing down" of celadon culture, and will also bring a new cultural experience to the audience and a full range of visual, auditory and tactile feelings.

　　According to Jiang Tao, a "post-90s" celadon craftsman, craftsmen must first pay tribute to tradition.

"I have always followed the principle of 'seeking change in tradition and respecting tradition in change' in my creations, and admonishing myself to behave in a proper manner and be an instrument in a proper manner," he said.

　　In addition, how to innovate on the basis of inheritance and bring celadon culture to the world is also a proposition that young celadon craftsmen are concerned about.

　　"Longquan celadon is not only in line with traditional Chinese culture, but also in line with the world. It has its presence on the 'Maritime Silk Road'. In some diplomatic occasions, Longquan celadon is also presented as a ritual vessel to leaders of other countries." Xu Xing, a celadon craftsman who exhibited two works, told a reporter from Chinanews.com.

　　It is understood that Ji Dong's works tend to be more traditional.

But despite this, he thinks he can't stay out of the innovation of celadon: "In terms of innovation, I think that we can combine Longquan celadon with contemporary life, and integrate conventional design with things around us, such as making celadon coffee cups, celadon cultural and creative creations. products, etc."

　　In addition to the above-mentioned young celadon craftsmen, Liu Hao, Ji Zimei, Shi Zhenqiang and other well-known "post-90s" craftsmen also pay tribute to tradition through their works, convey meaning, and strive to make Longquan celadon a carrier of Song Yun culture and porcelain culture. .

It is foreseeable that Longquan celadon, which is "green as jade, bright as a mirror and sound as chime", will have a broad space for development in the future.
