The main body of Bingding Wood Kiln is divided into two parts: the kiln and the kiln house. The kiln part is built by hand, and the construction of the kiln house uses modern building materials, such as fair-faced concrete, realizing the combination of technology and art. The design inspiration of the kiln house comes from ancient Chinese architecture, with a strong combination of Chinese and Western characteristics, and incorporates modern fashion elements. The spatial layout of the kiln house includes a large exhibition hall and a multifunctional space for display and creation. The purpose of these spaces is to provide artists with an international platform for wood-fired pottery creation. The name of Bingding Wood Kiln comes from the 'Bing Fire' and 'Ding Fire' in the ancient Chinese theory of the five elements, symbolizing the energy of fire and its shaping effect on porcelain. This naming method reflects the philosophical thoughts of traditional Chinese culture, and also implies that through the burning process of the wood kiln, artworks with vitality and spirituality can be created. Since its establishment, Bingding Wood Kiln has attracted many domestic and foreign artists to come and create, and it is being built into a distinctive international wood-fired base, bringing a new artistic atmosphere and cultural flavor to the development of the wood kiln. In addition, Bingding Wood Kiln is also known as the 'most beautiful wood kiln in the world', and due to its unique architectural style and geographical location, it has become a popular check-in spot in Jingdezhen.

Otherwise, this place is just a personal kiln, located in a remote ravine, and it's easy to get lost driving, with a stretch of road without signal. There are no shops around, and it's just a single building, not very big, you can finish walking around in 20 minutes... · 🗿If you like minimalist architectural beauty/wabi-sabi style💯 ✅Route planning: Bingding Wood Kiln - Yaoli Ancient Town - Hanxi Village - Porcelain Palace can all be planned in one day, and after visiting, head directly to Jingdezhen North Station, which is very close. ✅Photo-taking strategy 🔹Play for about 1h (some spots require queuing to get a good shot) 🔹The overall architecture is a symmetrical structure of fair-faced concrete, wearing white/black can make for better photos 🔹Shooting spots 📸Stairs on both sides of the corridor 📸Hall stairs (centered for symmetrical beauty) 📸Side exhibition stand in the hall ✨If you come to shoot on a sunny day, the sense of light and shadow will definitely be better.

The Bing Ding wood-fired kiln is said to derive its name from the idea that 'Bing fire is yang and vigorous, like the rays of the sun, full of energy radiating outward; Ding fire is yin and gentle, like moonlight or candlelight, inwardly harmonious and soft, thus achieving balance.' The combination of Bing and Ding fire symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang, the coexistence of spiritual energy, and the tranquility of all things. Because the wood-fired kiln is much larger than ordinary kilns, it takes a relatively long time to accumulate a batch of porcelain blanks for firing, so the number of times the kiln is opened each year is not particularly high. As a structure, the Bing Ding wood-fired kiln features large areas of fair-faced concrete walls, latticed windows, arched structures, and steps, as well as many seemingly casually placed but actually aesthetically pleasing bisques and saggars (refractory containers used to hold ceramic blanks during firing). The overall effect of light and shadow, structural lines, and its simple and clean color tones make it very suitable for photography and checking in, and it is extremely photogenic. Located in Qiancheng Village, Xianghu Town, Fuliang County, Jingdezhen
