In Jingdezhen, many workshops still uphold the tradition of handcrafted ceramics. Artisans gather around pottery wheels, using skills honed over years to knead, shape, trim, glaze, and fire the clay. Each step is filled with focus and passion, making every piece unique. This handmade model is the core of Jingdezhen's thousand-year ceramic culture. Its personalized value remains irreplaceable. The rapid development of digital technology is now injecting new vitality into this tradition.

Digital innovation is revolutionizing the design process, shattering creative constraints. In Taoyuan Valley, an "AI-powered pottery painting assistant" tool, draws upon a digitized archive of over a thousand traditional ceramic patterns. Requiring no professional design expertise, it can generate patterns that blend classical motifs with contemporary aesthetics in seconds. This tool provides creators with diverse inspirations, allows ordinary people to participate in ceramic design, and helps makers significantly shorten design cycles. It transforms thousand-year-old ceramic patterns from traditional limitations into cultural resources that everyone can create and enjoy.
