"Blue-and-white porcelain is closely related to tea culture. In recent years, as the popularity of tea culture has risen, so has the demand for quality tea sets," Chen says.

"Jingdezhen, which is known as the 'porcelain capital of China,' naturally attracts attention. As long as we carefully control the quality of each piece, we will gain greater recognition," he adds.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, the exhibition has been held for three consecutive years. This year, it was held outside of Urumqi city for the first time.
