Jingdezhen: Why China is called China

[@matteodesimio5117]

UNDESCRIBABLE, I DON'T HAVE WORDS ENOUGH FOR IT. OUR IMAGINATION CAN'T ABSORBING CHINESE ARTISTIC PORCELAIN.

[@tthtlc]

This is remembering history. Remembering all the lives of our ancestors that have lived before. Admiring all their skills and knowledge they have acquired, and never to forget them.

[@serpentlaw5961]

*And it is so delightful to know hat Europeans will NEVER conquer such an ancient experienced civilization.*

[@williamgarcia1909]

THIS MAKES ME SO PROUD OF MY CHINESE HERITAGE. I M PARTLY CHINESE BY BLOOD, FILIPINO. BUT I SPEAK MANDARIN.

[@elena16350]

The artistry is astounding, that programme was spell binding as it gave up its secrets of the porcelain history. The other thing was our host attentively listening to an elderly gentleman talking about porcelain, shows wonderful respect, a major difference between east and west, where the western interviewer shows no respect for their better?

[@maruzande]

This is one of the reasons why I love💕🇨🇳 China so much, its art.

[@johnmccann373]

This is fantastic! I have been to Jingdezhen a few times, and the narrator is lively, and the twl\o sections get into great detail. I am a collector, American, but my father was born in Beijing in 1910- the last year of the Qing dynasty!!! Of course my favorite is the chicken cups!

[@deedeedars2177]

Beautiful and artistic China. Thanks for the great video content.

I Love this video ,I hope I get born in China in my next life....i am trying to make Porcelain as it inspires me to want to live.... so beautiful

[@MM-ry1ev]

How curious❣️I love learning about this from the natives of the region. My ancestral name is chingwa in anishinaabe language but my family history has been lossed to those passed on but this inspires me more to research more related to the Chinese characters for porcelain. Thank you 🙏

[@robertkusuma528]

Wow, beautifull and high artistic China

[@petermathewvanaardt74]

in the 80s I was exploring back streets in the then MUCH smaller Wuhan when a wrinkled old man approached me a straw bag with 5/6 porcelain objects to sell. Not understanding a word It took a while and him unwrapping a delicate white vase from its rice paper wrappings for me to understand. To my untrained eye it looked like a simple off white vase with designs of mountains and rivers, all in the same off white, on the outside. As he looked very frail and had a very friendly toothless smile I chose two others, ca beautiful porcelain tea pot and a bowl. i paid him about $50s for all three pieces. . months and 1000s of km's travel across China I left to go back home, gave the three pieces to my gf and forgot about in. Then in 2014 i read an inflight magazine on Cathay Pacific and saw an article on CHINESE CHINA. On landing in HK I called my then ex gf and asked her to take the pieces to an antiques dealer I knew of who I had seen had several Chinese artefacts. Well the following week she called me back bubbling with excitement. The off-white vase actually had magnificent blue embossed scene's of a naval battle INSIDE! in a nutshell, the 3 pieces were valued at $300,000 plus minus, a piece ! She, my Ex gf, thanked me profusely for the 'beautiful' gifts and promised to look after the pieces in a safe at her fathers home (she had been displaying them on the mantelpiece of the fireplace with the many other Guangzhou tea pots I had bought for her collection)

Kindness reaps reward.

[@zack_120]

How many people on earth work as hard? Chinese people work day and night to supply the world and yet some complain being rippid off while enjoy the inexpensive, high quality goods that they would otherwise never get anywhere else. So ugly a world!

[@jeremyrobinson3399]

Another great video, thanks for sharing.

[@princefriend4ever954]

What an amazing history! Now I know 'Chungnan' (not sure how to spell it) became China and Chungnan was renamed Jingdezhen the “Porcelain Capital” of the world. Wow!

the word China came from the first empire Chin of Chin Shi Huang Di, the emperor of the great terra cotta army!

[@adrianp7475]

*So AMAZING to see the use of HEATH to harden porcelain for thousands of years without even losing forest and trees. The secret of the perfect kiln is the secret of keeping the ecology.*

[@nilomyki]

The presenter is gorgeous.

[@williamgarcia1909]

THE LADY NARRATING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

[@williamgarcia1909]

AND SHE SPEAKS ENGLISH VERY FLUENTLY WITH NO CHINESE INTONATION.

[@elena16350]

What can you say that hasn’t been said, the artwork is peerless, China has discipline, that’s what’s required to make your country as beautiful as China has done, those traditions are still able to be employed, which is why China will eventually win anything they choose to engage in.

[@guochen7778]

Very good and intelligent girl

[@wallybelp1]

Thank you for this informative video.

[@meeep520]

China? Wrong. Jina? Yes. Middle Kingdom? Wrong. Beautiful Land? Yes.

[@sarahkhan2310]

Excellent pieces of art

[@neutralButton]

I thought it was called China from the Old Persian word Chini which means the Qin Dynasty, due to them recognizing Qin's hegemony in the region after they unified all the different kingdoms during the warring states era. Edit: I think she's referring to the porcelain not the country, which share the same name but with different etymology

[@kinw5548]

Love to come here soon.

[@zanehso8783]

China is definitedly very advance in ceramics manufacturing as the years past bye. With modern ideas and technique used cerammics became exquisite for collectors and is not cheap. Very good documentaries for those still sceptical about China.

[@tklmmft]

[@BaolongZhang]

Is not because porcelain China call China. It's because Chin(秦国） in Italy /Latin still call Cina. It's big mistake by the Chinese :)

[@CarsSupercars]

We call it China Clay🇮🇳

[@hyiux]

China is called China after Qin dynasty, not after porcelain (a.k.a. fine china).

[@MeiinUK]

Lol... I thought her English was good until she said "Good Day" ! Lol... And then she did smile a lot. Certainly not British accent ! We must be so grumpy in the UK.. and so serious sounding... It is from the lack of sunshine. Do excuse me.

[@yanliew4027]

[@nutwit3152]

All around the Chinese world how are you.

[@profoundbliss]

Cathay or KaThai from the Thai or Tai people. China is just an anglicized name for the Qin dynasty.

[@alantan9863]

In East Europe and Central Asia, the Chinese are called Khitan people(and it's derivatives) based on interaction with one group of people.

[@Kokufu2000]

China 是從“秦「cin，chin」”演化而來，並不是瓷器的意思
