Jiexiu, Jinzhong, Shanxi.

In ancient architecture, glazed tiles have always been the most dazzling decorative component. Glazed tiles, as a building material, originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have been widely used in the decoration of buildings. Glazed tiles are a perfect combination of ancient Chinese culture and art. Their brilliance and splendor are the embodiment of the exquisite, delicate, and subtle spirit of the Orientals, and the perfect fusion of thought, emotion, and art! Jiexiu, Shanxi, known as the "Hometown of Glazed Tiles in China," has a long history of making glazed tiles, which flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties! This art, tempered in fire and reborn in time, has been passed down from generation to generation, with masterpieces in every generation. After thousands of years of wind and frost, it is still colorful!
