According to Liu Aiguo, Party chief of the Shenhou township, there are currently about 200 companies engaged in Jun porcelain production in the town, boasting a cadre of talented young artisans. To promote the intricate craft and products of Jun porcelain, many craftsmen have embraced the trend of online slow livestreaming, showcasing meticulous handmade and firing processes.
Today, an industrial cultural park of Jun porcelain has emerged from the site of a former State-owned porcelain factory, integrating ancient Jun porcelain culture with the modern industry. Serving as a historical showcase of Jun kiln culture and industrial progress, this cultural park has transformed into a multifaceted tourist destination encompassing dining, lodging, sightseeing, shopping and entertainment.
