Porcelain odyssey: Nine provinces, Yellow River, 5,000 years

An ongoing porcelain exhibition at the Zibo Ceramic and Glass Museum in Zibo, Shandong province, showcases the Yellow River culture of nine provinces, drawing strong interest from visitors.

From Qinghai's headwaters ecology to Shandong's Longshan black pottery, the exhibition transforms regional heritage into tactile art experiences.

"The exhibition uses ceramics as language to narrate the Yellow River's 5,000-year civilization journey," said He Yan, a master of ceramic art in China.

A dedicated Shandong section merges Taishan Mountain's majesty, Confucian elegance, and the river's fluidity, featuring teacups inspired by the 72 students of Confucius and summit-themed dinnerware from the 2018 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Qingdao Summit.
