ABSTRACT

Inheritors of Jingdezhen ceramic handmaking skills bear the responsibility of carrying forward such intangible cultural heritage. At present, most of the researches on Jingdezhen porcelain craftsmanship focus on the problems and countermeasures of Jingdezhen's intangible cultural heritage inheritance from a holistic perspective,for example, Integration of Culture and Tourism, protection methods, and other aspects. While the studies that focus on inheritors are rare, Moreover, the research mainly focuses on oral history and questionnaire surveys, which are not in-depth enough. From the perspective of inheritors, conducting targeted interviews with inheritors from various aspects such as the innovation of skills, difficulties faced by inheritors, and integration with the market can provide a deeper understanding of the current protection status of Jingdezhen ceramic handmaking skills, and propose strategies for the protection and inheritance of ceramic handmaking skills better. We interviewed more than 10 inheritors of ceramic at provincial and municipal level, listened their difficulties in heritage inheritance and advices for it. In this paper, we collected and analysed these difficulties and advices, and offered some proposals from the perspective of these inheritors based on in-depth understanding of the current situation of the inheritance and protection of ceramic handmaking skills, so as to promote the skills.
