Jingdezhen: Why China is called China 

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

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.

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!

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

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?

What a wonderful documentary, and such beautiful porcelain. Thank you very much!

Excellent video with historical importance. Exquisite ceramic artifacts.

That porcelain is absolutely elegant!

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 🙏

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

Wow, beautifull and high artistic China

Love your videos I find both informative and and pleasure to share your visit as you travel through the country it makes me realize how much I would love to see it all for my self

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)

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!

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!

I wish I could find words to explain how amazing educating this video really is

Thank you for this informative video.

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

I intend to spend some time exploring china and your travelogues will help me to decide some of the places I would like to visit. Thanks Min Zhui.

Thanks for the upload ...my next trip would be here

*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.*

More love to China ❤❤❤

Excellent work of art, thanks a Lot!

Awesome!

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

Excellent art on porcelain. Like it.

Excellent pieces of art

excellent video

Love to come here soon.

wishingtree I love this girl, she has a true Chinese beauty. Her traditional happy face, smile mouth and exciting eyes.

Wonderful piece of travelogue episode.. where is Min Zhui Lee now?

Very good and intelligent girl

love this beautiful cermic world. Thanks.

Excellent

And nobody. This world can say we copied them. Well done

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.

The presenter is gorgeous.

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.

love the host,, hahahaha

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

I come to watch the host. :P

hey CGTN ! finished Pearl River already? how come Pearl river not including Nanning, Chongzuo,Longzhou in Guangxi?

17:23 "It reminds me of getting really lost in Jerusalem." Glad that you visited our country!

China is how Indians called the country after Qin (Chin) dynasty

China comes from qin dynasty old styles spell cin, but Latinised to be cina. Thus China today.

We call it China Clay🇮🇳

Amazing porcelain from country never too high price it fetches .

❤I love China it’s my favorite country to visit

it meas the center of the word

THE LADY NARRATING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

I knew that Min-Zhui Lee is Australian from her accent.

In Europe the Capital of Porcelain is Meissen. Thnaks for the report.

When they wanted the best potters they went to Korea, kidnapped the potters and went home.

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 :)

A rose is a rose. It does not matter what name you call it.

All around the Chinese world how are you.

Oh My God

New knowledge

Before they made the film ghost they must have visited this city beforehand

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

This question should have 2 parts: 1. In English why it is calked China? 2. In Chinese why it is called 中国？

China 是從“秦「cin，chin」”演化而來，並不是瓷器的意思

Shouldn't China change its name to Jingdezhen by now?

央视口音最正记者之一。

I thought China was called China because of the Qin dynasty!! the first to unify China. Not Quannan or Jingdezheng

Great info, nicely presented. Every Kung-Fu person should be able to squat for at least 10 minutes, though...

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

Do you mean why China is called China or why China is called China?

The question is, for foreigners like me who wants to visit China, can we speak with the people in english?

👌🏋️💑💋

Your face is shine like china.

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

So the Chin dynasty has nothing to do with the name China?

Sorry to disappoint you with the fact that China comes from "Chine" empire and china consequently.

契丹(qidan)=Kitay in Russian=China in English

景德镇和China没关系吧，以讹传讹

Is this a deliberate attempt to mislead how the name China came about? Or a cheeky pun on the names of the country of China and its world renowned porcelain?

Not really my thing but thanks anyway.

Una lástima que un tema tan interesante como éste sea desarrollado por esta periodista mediocre......

You look like crysty chung

Those prices are so inflated. They don’t worth that much, cost of design + cost of manufacturing + cost of sales + profit margin, I would just pay ¥50 for that chicken cup.

Because of fake and copied and low quality producctt

C h I n A ....... ☠
