Porcelain center in Jiangxi to protect traditional culture

A special cultural zone to protect traditional porcelain culture in Jiangxi province will get support from the State Council, China's Cabinet, according to provincial deputies to the 13th National People's Congress.

The Jingdezhen Porcelain Culture Inheritance and Innovation Demonstration Zone in Jingdezhen city will get preferential policy support, funding and talent to protect and promote the State-level intangible cultural heritage.

The city's handmade porcelain gained recognition along the Mari-time Silk Road as early as the 17th century, but now faces challenges from industrialized production.
