A jaw-dropping mountain mural in Handan, Hebei Province, is turning heads by transforming 1,000 meters of rugged rock into a vibrant tribute to China’s iconic Cizhou kiln tradition. 🌟 The artwork showcases the kiln’s 72-step porcelain-making process – think of it as the ancient version of a TikTok tutorial, but carved into stone! 🏺
Located in the Fengfeng mining area, the mural revives the legacy of the Cizhou kiln, a cultural heavyweight since the Sui Dynasty (581-618). Once a nearly vertical cliff face, this canvas now flaunts intricate details of wine vessels, bowls, and vases, all bathed in the kiln’s signature white, black, and jade-green glazes. Talk about a glow-up! 💚
Local artists used welding, carving, and coloring techniques to turn barren rock into an open-air museum. For travelers and history buffs, it’s a must-see mashup of art, engineering, and ancient craft – no time machine needed! ⏳✨
