According to reports, the Nansheng kiln site is the kiln site and products of Zhangzhou kiln porcelain produced in Pinghe County during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is one of the first batch of Chinese historical sites on the Maritime Silk Road to be declared a heritage site. According to members of the visiting group, in addition to tracing the roots of ceramic culture, this time they also served as a stepping stone for the writing of a new book "History of Hakka Taiwan" and the preparation of the documentary "Hakka and Blue and White Porcelain". They hope to use the power of new media such as documentaries and social platforms to showcase both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The profound cultural and historical origins and the magnificent and beautiful natural scenery of the mainland have deepened cultural exchanges and integration between Fujian and Taiwan, and enhanced the spiritual harmony between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
During the activity, the group learned in detail about the "Maritime Silk Road Culture", the origin and production methods of Pinghe Clark porcelain, and the characteristics of porcelain produced by Nansheng Kiln. Members of the visiting delegation also used porcelain plates as canvases to create pictures of peonies; splashed ink and improvised to leave calligraphy treasures; and made clay Guanyin statues, etc., showing their artistic attainments and feeling the charm of ceramic culture and art.
According to reports, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of ceramics fired in southern Fujian were imported into Taiwan to supply residents' daily needs. Ceramic relics unearthed and passed down in Taiwan are highly similar to the patterns of Ping and Clark porcelain, which are historical witnesses of the continuous inheritance of porcelain from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
