Liu Xiaofeng, deputy head of the CPPCC, Huang Zhixian and Liu Jiaqiang, two deputy secretary generals of the CPPCC, and experts in culture and history fields attended the opening ceremony.
Wu Juan, secretary general of the Jingdezhen municipal Party committee, said the fine-selected porcelains at the exhibition were a record of Jingdezhen's past and present achievements, which he thought has become a full display of Jingdezhen's ceramic culture in Beijing.
"Jingdezhen is actively involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, and strives to present splendid Chinese culture, while delivering China's voice in the communication with the world," he said.
Jingdezhen, a city in South China's Jiangxi province, is widely known as China's "porcelain capital". The city has more than 1,700 years of history in porcelain-making, and used to produce porcelain for the royal court in ancient times. The unique clay resources in Jingdezhen, along with its time-honored craftsmanship, have made it a preferred resort for porcelain lovers and tourists alike.
