Tech Code is a column for Gen Z explorers from around the world to observe how technology is reshaping China's intangible cultural heritage. In this edition, Science and Technology Daily visits Jingdezhen, the ancient porcelain capital of China. Our guide is Ozge Atalay from Türkiye, who came to study ceramics further and realized that broken pieces are not waste but data packets, and technology is their decryption code.
Yet Jingdezhen is more than a technological laboratory. It is a global village, home to more than 5,000 foreign ceramic artists who bring their own aesthetics to clay. Here craft and code do not compete. They flow together across borders.
