Twenty-two years ago, Li Yanxun left his hometown of Chaozhou. It was in Jingdezhen that he came to the realization that the soul of ceramics lies in its material, not its decoration. Defying convention, Li set aside his past achievements and plunged headfirst into the study of ceramic materials. Through relentless experimentation, he fired Tang Sancai glazes at 1,280°C to ultimately bring the brilliance of the Tang Dynasty to our contemporary world. With passion and innovation, Li Yanxun has breathed new life into ancient ceramic practices. Don’t miss the documentary “Rejuvenation of Ancient Crafts”, premiering July 28 on CGTN.
