Bingding Wood Kiln, Jingdezhen

The main body of Bingding Wood Kiln is divided into two parts: the kiln and the kiln house. The kiln part is built by hand, and the construction of the kiln house uses modern building materials, such as fair-faced concrete, realizing the combination of technology and art. The design inspiration of the kiln house comes from ancient Chinese architecture, with a strong combination of Chinese and Western characteristics, and incorporates modern fashion elements. The spatial layout of the kiln house includes a large exhibition hall and a multifunctional space for display and creation. The purpose of these spaces is to provide artists with an international platform for wood-fired pottery creation. The name of Bingding Wood Kiln comes from the 'Bing Fire' and 'Ding Fire' in the ancient Chinese theory of the five elements, symbolizing the energy of fire and its shaping effect on porcelain. This naming method reflects the philosophical thoughts of traditional Chinese culture, and also implies that through the burning process of the wood kiln, artworks with vitality and spirituality can be created. Since its establishment, Bingding Wood Kiln has attracted many domestic and foreign artists to come and create, and it is being built into a distinctive international wood-fired base, bringing a new artistic atmosphere and cultural flavor to the development of the wood kiln. In addition, Bingding Wood Kiln is also known as the 'most beautiful wood kiln in the world', and due to its unique architectural style and geographical location, it has become a popular check-in spot in Jingdezhen.

Bingding Wood Kiln The Bingding Wood Kiln is located in Qiancheng Village, Fuliang County, less than an hour's drive from Jingdezhen city center. The site is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with bamboo forests and a stream flowing through the middle, creating a tranquil environment. The Bingding Wood Kiln is small but produces remarkable results As if crafted by nature, Bing fire is yang at its peak, the fire of the sun, full of energy; Ding fire is yin and gentle, the light of the candle moon, restrained and soft. The fusion of 'Bing' and 'Ding' fire, yin and yang complementing each other, True beauty comes from the selfless gifts of nature. The mountains and forests are its foundation, conspiring with time: Light and shadow are its essence, space contributes to its glory, A grand ceremony begins at noon. Everything is arranged for the best. At noon, the light circumvents the back of the wood kiln from the left, passing through the casually placed porcelain semi-finished products and the work area along the way to the center of the building, where a sense of 'reverence' naturally arises. It is at this moment that the noon light finally breaks through the 'sliver' above and lands on the central axis. On one side of the light is the entrance to the wood kiln, and on the other side are layers of stairs, at the end of which is another beam of light marking the exit.

The Bing Ding wood-fired kiln is said to derive its name from the idea that 'Bing fire is yang and vigorous, like the rays of the sun, full of energy radiating outward; Ding fire is yin and gentle, like moonlight or candlelight, inwardly harmonious and soft, thus achieving balance.' The combination of Bing and Ding fire symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang, the coexistence of spiritual energy, and the tranquility of all things. Because the wood-fired kiln is much larger than ordinary kilns, it takes a relatively long time to accumulate a batch of porcelain blanks for firing, so the number of times the kiln is opened each year is not particularly high. As a structure, the Bing Ding wood-fired kiln features large areas of fair-faced concrete walls, latticed windows, arched structures, and steps, as well as many seemingly casually placed but actually aesthetically pleasing bisques and saggars (refractory containers used to hold ceramic blanks during firing). The overall effect of light and shadow, structural lines, and its simple and clean color tones make it very suitable for photography and checking in, and it is extremely photogenic. Located in Qiancheng Village, Xianghu Town, Fuliang County, Jingdezhen
