Pretty and practical: Musical instruments made of porcelain are staged in the porcelain-making center in east China's Jiangxi.

NANCHANG, Oct. 14, 2019 (Xinhua) -- A concert, with which all instruments played were made of porcelain, was held in Jingdezhen, the most famous porcelain-making center in east China's Jiangxi, with over 1,000 years of history of making porcelain for the imperial families and officials.

To keep the unique hand-made porcelain culture in Jingdezhen, the local government has been making efforts to rejuvenate the ancient town in the past decade.

An unprecedented large-scale conservation and renovation campaign has been launched in the city, not only for ancient imperial kiln sites, but also old residential buildings, porcelain shops and guild halls scattered there.
