Jin Hongyang's Elegance in Celadon Artistry 🌿

Jin Hongyang, born in 2003, is the principal manager of Yujian Celadon Co., Ltd. She studied at the Celadon and Sword Design Technician Institute (2018) and Zhejiang Electromechanical Vocational Technical University (2021). Graduating in 2023, she majored in product design. Her grandfather, Jin Pin, an heir of Longyao kilns, trained her in traditional celadon-making techniques.

Mastering Longquan Celadon Techniques 🔧

Since age 15, Jin trained rigorously under master potters and kiln experts. She mastered the full spectrum of Longquan celadon production, including mountain clay selection, manual wheel-throwing, glaze mixing, kiln reconstruction, pit-loading, ceremonial firing, traditional wood-fired dragon kilns, and reopening kilns to retrieve wares. Her passion and fidelity to the craft are evident in every piece.

Economic Revitalization and Media Coverage 📺

In 2015, Jin joined her father, Jin Chaojun, in integrating homestay tourism, kilns, cultural study programs, and dining into a village-led economic revitalization model in Baoxi. Their model became a self-sustaining ecosystem leveraging craft heritage for community prosperity. Jin Hongyang received coverage from CCTV, Zhejiang TV, Xinhua News Agency, and other prestigious media upon returning home to launch her business.

Cultural Export and Entrepreneurship 🌍

Jin actively livestreams and markets wood-fired Longquan celadon on TikTok, advancing cultural export and rural revitalization. She provides jobs for elderly and disabled residents and hires local university graduates, promoting equitable community development. Jin organizes a dragon kiln opening ceremony annually, inviting tea enthusiasts, collectors, and distributors both domestically and abroad to celebrate traditional celadon and increase international visibility.
