Introduction to "Bone China Code"
The novel "Bone China Code" is rooted in Jingdezhen's thousand-year-old porcelain culture, and unfolds a suspenseful narrative around the century-old kiln "Yunqing Kiln". Chen Songting, the old kiln owner, died suddenly without leaving a complete will. The eldest son Chen Yanzhou, who had been away from home for 20 years and was deeply involved in the restoration of cultural relics, returned to his hometown. He had a disagreement with his second son Chen Yanzhou, who was committed to the commercialization of ceramic culture and tourism. The adopted daughter Su Qing, who has followed the old man to learn porcelain making skills since she was a child, holds the secret instructions left by the old kiln owner. A set of secret late Qing bone china and lost ancient glaze recipes has become the focus of competition among all parties.
Antique dealers, foreign capital, and porcelain counterfeiting gangs have entered the situation one after another, and many crises have followed. Following the codes hidden in the bone china decorations, everyone gradually uncovered the dusty past of the imperial kiln craftsmen who fled to protect the porcelain during the Republic of China, and the family who guarded the secret recipe for generations. In the fierce game between the temptation of wealth and the original intention of the craftsman, the choices of human nature constantly test everyone. The novel combines cultural suspense, family past events, and the intangible cultural heritage of Ganpo. It has multiple reversals and progresses layer by layer. It writes about the realistic dilemma faced by the inheritance of traditional ceramic skills and explores the way for thousands of years of porcelain art to maintain integrity and innovate in the new era.
