Jingdezhen City, a prefecture-level city in Jiangxi Province, is located in the northeast part of Jiangxi Province. It is known as the "Porcelain Capital of the World", one of the first national historical and cultural cities, the capital of world handicrafts and folk arts, and China's most charming cultural tourism city.

The porcelain customs of Jingdezhen are an important part of its porcelain-making history. In the Song Dynasty, the landscape of "kilns in every village, and pottery in every household" appeared in Jingdezhen, marking the embryonic form of porcelain customs.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the establishment of the Imperial Kiln Factory on Pearl Mountain and the further expansion of overseas markets stimulated the vigorous development of Jingdezhen's porcelain industry. Almost all small kiln workshops scattered in villages were concentrated in the urban area, forming numerous handicraft workshops and absorbing a large number of practitioners. As a result, Jingdezhen became a ceramic metropolis, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate formation of porcelain customs.

In recent years, a new narrative of "Jing drift" has emerged on the Internet: young people who love making ceramics "drift" to Jingdezhen, the dreamland of ceramic artisans, rent a house for a few hundred yuan, learn ceramic craftsmanship in pottery classes, make their own works, and sustain their lives by selling them. In Jingdezhen, young people seem to be able to embark on another possibility in life, seeking their own poetry and distant horizons.
