- TURN ON SUBTITLES ##
Dehua is the capital of China's well-preserved porcelain culture. In this video I want to show you one of the most traditional ways of making porcelain - by using firewood kilns and why porcelain is so hard to make and so expensive. This time, I have visited a 1000 year old firewood kiln...

Hi all, please TURN ON the SUBTITLES while watching because this time, the subtitles are not burned in! and also, if you prefer it burned in/ or not, please leave a msg here so that I can know which way suits you better! 😊❤！
Thanks for reminding , that helps Alot for me😂🙏
Both are ok with me
I also prefer burned in but whatever is easiest for you is good with me ☺️
The captions for this worked great :) love ur hard work on the captions for us foreigners ❤
This way seems easier for you and worked fine.
For the great video's you produce each time.
I am from Brazil, a very young country. I can't imagine being in front of something that has a thousand years (the tai ping gong kiln), and so well preserved and still being used till this day, this is awesome! I'm so glad I found your channel, your videos are amazing, thank you for sharing them with us!!
Thank you so much for bringing beautiful, ancient Chinese culture to us. Your videos are so well made. I feel so peaceful watching them. They take me back to another world.
I love how passionate the artisans are about their work. Watching them feel alive made me come alive.
謝謝，真的很棒，很精彩！覺得自己非常幸福，懂中文，可以聆聽妳跟當地人的交流互動，同時也懂英文，所以非常享受妳用著世界共同語言介紹中國日常的真善美！妳一定堅持下去呀！
There is a porcelain maker near me who has a similar sort of kiln, and many artists work out of it. But it is especially great to see the ones here in China as it is the place that invented all of these techniques. This one and the one about paper making are my favorite videos of yours so far, but I am loving what you do regardless. Thank you.
I love your videos! So relaxing yet so professionally produced. Kudos
Yes exactly!! She really hits the sweet spot between travel show, educational documentary, and personal blog. I think she could end up with a huge following on here; she's really something special.
I like having both the English and Chinese subtitles because my Chinese can improve that way!
Traditional making of porcelain is an artwork in itself, amazing. I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you for educating us and sharing your country with us. I'm finding each video so interesting and fascinating.
Fascinating, I've watched a wood kiln firing but did not know the nuanced effects of humidity, season, wood on the firing. Thank you for sharing the beauty created by these craftsmen
What magnificent in China is, though they are modern and fast developing, old systems like this porcelain making, pulp papers etc has NOT gone in to oblivion.
這些瓷器要么用於收藏，要么用於純粹的享受。非常漂亮的瓷器。👍謝謝
My late grandpa owned a brick kiln when I was a kid. When I see this video I remember the smell of burnt clay.
Your video content is absolutely amazing! I think it's an excellent way to learn about cross-cultural knowledge and diversity. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into it, and please keep up the great work!
I love this episode. As a Chinese born over seas, who speaks cantonese and can only read dim sum. I appreciate your style of story telling. My Mandarin is too weak to communicate with mandarin speakers.
This is beyond amazing. Such skill, such a science, such patience, such hard work, such ancestry, and such artistry! Beautiful results, and worth it!
Loved this video. I enjoyed so much exploring ceramics back then when we lived in China. When we returned home to Europe we bought pieces from a shop in Shanghai back then, which are modern artisan pieces but rooted in the tradition and designed as well as hand made in Jingdezhen. When those arrived to Europe we had to pay a hefty import fee - it was because of a anti dumping fee as ceramics from China were considered to be sold at dumping prices. They did not differentiate if mass manufactured or artisan made, which I felt really unfair to the artisans. We paid the fees, as those beautiful works are worth every penny and to us hold precious memories of our time in China.
Becouse of this channel i started falling in love with Chinese traditions
Another captivating video
The artisan ceramic makers in my neck of the woods share many of the same character traits with the people in your video.
Apparently the fire and clay demand a certain mindset
Thanks!
Thank you :)
All the items are beautiful & unique & one of a kind....those white ones are out of this world....and priceless too I supposed! Thank you for showing us!
Absolutely incredible video! Very much enjoyed! Looking forward to the next one! Stay safe and thank you.
This is wonderful. As a potter I was so excited by the kiln opening!
Always look forward to watching your videos. I have been trying to watch them all in the sequence they were made but couldn't resist watching this as it has just arrived. Learning so much more about China than just visiting the tourist areas. Love the drone shots.
These artisans are possibly the last still doing traditional pottery this way.
No doubt if they succeed in making their products perfectly it would be a treasure trove of magnificent hand crafted artwork.
The last of it's kind perhaps.
certainly not the last, there are hundreds of thousands of firewood kilns in China, just that they aren't as famous as Dehua or Jingdezhen. those who drink Chinese tea will know, handmade teaware from places like Yixing or Jianshui can cost thousands.
The reason why they chose this kiln is that the works produced by the famous kiln are very valuable. Of course, out of the 10000 works produced by this kiln, only a few hundred exquisite pieces can be produced
Your videos are very interesting and always has good taste and finishing. The images and music are well chosen and the overall flow is captivating.
hand made items have a charm all their own as compared to the clinical uniformity of modern factory production lines.
I love how they sound all so passionate about their job and always smiling ♡ your videos are so nice to watch
It's great to learn about another porcelain city, rich in traditions and history. The kilns seem quite different from the ones in Jingdezhen. Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video. Your working would change my view of China 😊
All the people who commented on your quality content, I can only agree on everything they said.
This has always been of interest to me, having made my own ceramic mixes. I didn't know these types of kilns were still used. Very interesting.
Thank you for making some of the best content in the internet. I am wondering if Netflix has contacted you to make a series with you as the hostess. I would watch that over and over again.
Wow!! Thank You so much Ms Yan for showing this to us,, unbelievable effort to produce this unique Porcelain
That fellow with glasses, so informational and educational.
Very traditional porcelain cottage industry. Very interesting. Thank you Yan
Very informative video Ms Yan,,, I have no clue how Porcelain are being made until now,,can't wait for the next video,,,Thank You again,,,
So interesting! I live in a very old house and my basement used to be a kiln for firing bricks!
Beautiful culture! Thank you for educating us!
I'm ok with or without subtitles. If I miss anything, I'll just rewatch with subtitles on. Having the choice is great.
I've always assumed that porcelain after being formed will be fired and that's that. Only now do I realise it could take multiple firings and sometimes it just doesn't work out.
My respect to all these artisans.
Great video Yan..... Keep up the great work.......
I had gone to Dehua about 15 years ago and failed to appreciate the porcelain and only remembered the delicious pork trotters. What a wasted opportunity!
Pork trotters are a Very important Thing😁
OMG your channel is blowing up! Congrats, Dr. Yan!
Well done, Yan! Another great video. Learned a lot. Thanks.
Hi, I turned on the subtitles and it works perfectly. Another great educational film, so enjoyable, thank you very much 😊
I so sympathize with the young man at 19.54 too.
Thanks Yan for all the excellent stories so far in your travels
and this new series within China,
Another great video, Yan!
Awesome video. Looking forward to the next show. Thanks
Great video thank you for your hard work
I've heard a lot about the kilns here in China, but it was very interesting to learn more about the process through your video.
Great and informative.
Wonderful video! 💖
Hello darling young lady 😘 I am always so happy when I see your videos. I also want you to not pay attention to these lies our countries 😒 spew at each other. They are not everyday people. They are rich politicians who have probably never lived the life we have. Blessings to you and your family and friends ❤️
I have never been to most of my country. There is still so much of it that I want to see.
This is awesome!
Thanks for your videos you do a really great job with your videos very much like a professional.

cinematic videos
Is best .
I love u yen
This is so interesting. The complexity and amazing kiln. I love the small village pottery with the pine wood glaze.
Thank You Little C for informing me and celebrating the masters and so many of their tried and tested artisan skills developed and perfected over many many millennia, that make for such fascinating content.
Love carácter and personality. Vive la difference. Every piece, one of a kind. Thanks for sharing
Hi Yan, thank you for sharing Wonderful China with,us, your very professional &share China's heritage with all of us,brilliant, much appreciated, Positive vibes
Thank you for satisfying my curiosity! I never knew how much effort is required for this product! ❤❤❤
Excellent as usually, and very informative as well.
Nice👍👏😊 porcelains, thank you❤🌹🙏 Yan
Amazing video. Amazing artisans! Love your videos so much. Thank you ❣️
Hello Yan, thank you for this very interesting Vlog!👍👍 I have never seen before how this pottery is made and your explanations are really helpful - although I'd prefer the subtitles being part of the video. These TH-cam subtitles come with this fat black background which sometimes is quite disturbing.
I really like the quality of your videos, they are almost professional concerning the picture quality! Now I'm waiting for the next episode to learn more about this way of making such a beautiful pottery. But their losses seem to be quite high ...
You're awesome Yan 👍
I really loved those teapots stuck together. I would have those ❤
Superb Yan! So wonderful to get such an insight into perhaps the most quintessential Chinese craft and industry 💜
RealIy interesting, I hope you can make a video about Yixing ceramics too.
you are my role model
Thanks Yan, another great video
I stumbled upon your travel videos, love it and follow whenever turned in ut. As for subtitles, personally I preferred burnt in, cos' switching on subtitles comes with that fat
black background and invariably obstructs some of the view. Your video is of such quality and clarity, your voice is so clear and sweet. Really enjoyed and appreciated your interactions with the locals wherever you traveled, always inquisitive, sincere, friendly and respectful
Your videos are so educational, it's acts as a bridge across
cultures and borders and cements understanding and appreciation of the diversities that exist among different communities across regions and on planet earth. Keep up the unmatched excellent work through your passion for sharing. Am pretty sure your followers /or subscribe rs will reach unmatched levels too...All The Best Yan 👍👍🏼👏👏🏼
love this episode!
So awesome! Thank you !
Amazing traditional technology of making ceramics, love that this way of creating is still practiced. Thank you for this educational video!
The porcelain pieces are very beautiful . Where can someone from the west buy them my friend ? Can they be bought online from the person who makes them ? Can you order custom tea pots and cups ? Thanks for sharing their hard work and their master pieces with us . This is a great video . Please find answers to my questions as I am very interested in buying some of these master pieces my friend .
Amazing!!!
Thank you for showing us this all ....now im interested to buy tea cup and saucer.
Dear Yan,
I absolutely adore your videos! It's such a delight to witness everyday life in China through your lens. If it's possible for you, I'd like to recommend a visit to Dīngshān (Dingshu) by Lake Tai. This place is renowned worldwide for its Yixing teapots and the distinctive purple clay used in their production. As an artisan ceramist, I had the privilege of working there in the early 2000s. During my time, Dingshu was undergoing significant transformations. It holds a significant place in the history of ceramics. I can only imagine how different it must be today. I fondly remember my time there and the wonderful people I met. You're doing invaluable work, and I hope that one day, I'll have the chance to return to China. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors!Warm regards, Eva
They are beautiful and unique.
Most excellent quality ,like your video's. Thanks Yan♥️
This was mind blowing, I use to take up pottery when I was at high school and found it very relaxing and fascinating, Yes waiting for the outcome after being fired, is always exciting. My mother in-law would have loved to see this vid., she makes her own potteries too.
I would have loved to own a piece or two of the ones that had defects, I think they were beautiful, but then again I like things that are not perfect. I just think they are more collectable. I love the colours and the designs. The Kiln amazes me most. Thank you Yan for another amazing video. Love from Australia.
Great video!! Very interesting indeed!!😀👍 🙋♂
妳的視頻很好看
Fascinating
Thanks for your entertaining and eye opening videos
Thank you, you are amazing 💙💙💙
👍 tq sharing. Great effort 😀
I wish you have the highest subscribers in the whole world
Minha mãe era ceramista. Acompanhei muito seu trabalho.
I have great respect for the artisans the many years of skills past on from generation to generation reading the fire to keep the kilm hot enough to think it’s still burning wood fascinating
So captivating.
Wow amazing
I love your videos 😁
I absolutely love your videos! I wish I had known your channel sooner.
Better late than never! :)
Another great documentary thanks.
Thank you for a most interesting video.
Right down my street as an enthusiastic beginner finding wild clay and pit firing in the open air. Loved this video. Chinese pottery masters are the world's best imo. Gave me some great ideas and inspiration
Good day to you 🌞
Thank you .
......Amazing.....
Precious video! A good insight into old old traditions of exquisite craftsmanship!!
