引言：2026年7月25日，在韩国釜山召开的第48届世界遗产大会上，“景德镇手工瓷业遗址”正式列入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》。这处跨越十个世纪、完整保存手工制瓷生产体系的遗址群，不仅见证了中国瓷都的技术创新与艺术成就，更以其独特的跨文化交流基因，成为中华文明与世界对话的重要媒介。
The Jingdezhen Handicraft Porcelain Industry Sites were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List on Saturday during the 48th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Busan, South Korea, becoming China's 61st World Heritage site.
7月25日（周六），在韩国釜山召开的第48届世界遗产委员会会议上，“景德镇手工瓷业遗址”正式列入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》，成为中国第61项世界遗产。
Located across the hilly landscape of Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi province, the property preserves a complete handicraft porcelain production system that flourished between the 10th and 19th centuries.
该遗产地位于中国东部江西省景德镇的丘陵地带，完整保存了一套兴盛于10世纪至19世纪之间的手工制瓷生产体系。
Rich deposits of porcelain stone and kaolin clay, together with an extensive water transport network, helped transform the city into the world's foremost center of porcelain production.
丰富的瓷石和高岭土矿藏，加上发达的水运网络，使这座城市成为全球最重要的瓷器生产中心。
The heritage property comprises 45 component sites spread across 1,979 hectares, ranging from porcelain workshops in the historic urban center to raw material extraction sites, transportation routes and traditional neighborhoods that together illustrate the industry's full production chain.
该遗产地由45个组成部分构成，分布面积达1979公顷，涵盖历史城区的瓷器作坊、原料开采点、运输路线和传统街区，共同展现了制瓷业的完整生产链条。
The World Heritage Committee recognizes the site under UNESCO's cultural criteria No 2, 3, 4, and 6.
世界遗产委员会依据联合国教科文组织第2、3、4、6项文化遗产标准将该遗址列入名录。
According to Wei Qing, the author of the World Heritage nomination dossier, Jingdezhen represents an exceptional and unparalleled example of technological innovation, artistic achievement, and industrial organization in porcelain production from the 13th to the 19th centuries.
据世界遗产申报文本撰写者魏青介绍，景德镇代表了13世纪至19世纪制瓷业中技术创新、艺术成就和产业组织方面一个非凡且无可比拟的范例。
Drawing on the dome-shaped kilns of northern China and the dragon-shaped kilns of the south, Jingdezhen potters developed the gourd-shaped kiln, which later evolved into the highly efficient egg-shaped kiln capable of firing different types of porcelain simultaneously.
景德镇陶工借鉴中国北方的馒头窑和南方的龙窑，创制了葫芦形窑，后又发展出高效的蛋形窑，能够同时烧制不同类型的瓷器。
As kiln technology advanced, so did the ceramics themselves.
随着窑炉技术的进步，瓷器本身也在不断发展。
From the bluish-white wares of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) to the blue-and-white ceramics of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the painted porcelain of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and the famille-rose and enamel wares of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Jingdezhen continually expanded the possibilities of porcelain craftsmanship.
从宋代的青白瓷到元代的青花瓷，再到明代的彩绘瓷和清代的粉彩、珐琅彩，景德镇不断拓展着瓷器工艺的可能性。
"It is this spirit of innovation that has kept the kilns of Jingdezhen burning," says Wang Guangyao, a ceramic archaeologist at the Palace Museum in Beijing.
“正是这种创新精神，让景德镇的窑火生生不息，”北京故宫博物院陶瓷考古学者王光尧表示。
Wei says Jingdezhen's success was also built on cross-cultural exchange.
魏青指出，景德镇的成功也建立在跨文化交流的基础之上。
The city combined ceramic traditions from northern and southern China, incorporated pigments introduced from the Middle East and Europe, and blended domestic and foreign decorative aesthetics.
这座城市融合了中国南北方的制瓷传统，吸纳了从中东和欧洲传入的颜料，并将本土与域外的装饰美学融为一体。
Blue-and-white porcelain is one of the best examples.
青花瓷就是最好的例证之一。
Produced by combining China's porcelain-making techniques with Persian cobalt blue pigment, it became a defining influence on the "chinoiserie" style that flourished in European decorative arts throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
它由中国制瓷技术与波斯钴蓝颜料结合而成，对17世纪至18世纪盛行于欧洲装饰艺术中的“中国风”风格产生了决定性影响。
At the Guanyinge kiln site, archaeologists have discovered Kraak porcelain, ceramics produced specifically for European markets during the Ming and Qing periods, confirming the site's role as a major center for export-oriented production.
在观音阁窑址，考古学家发现了克拉克瓷——即明清时期专为欧洲市场生产的外销瓷器，证实了该遗址作为出口导向型生产重要中心的地位。
"In this way, Jingdezhen porcelain became a medium for sharing Chinese civilization and culture with the world," says Wei.
“通过这种方式，景德镇瓷器成为了与世界分享中华文明和文化的媒介，”魏青说。
The industry also reflects the sophisticated organization of traditional Chinese manufacturing.
这一产业也反映了中国传统制造业的精密组织方式。
While porcelain was produced in Jingdezhen's urban center, raw materials came from nearby mountains and were transported through waterways, forming an integrated industrial system.
瓷器在景德镇城区生产，而原材料则来自附近山区并通过水路运输，形成了一个完整的产业体系。
To illustrate this complete production network, the World Heritage property includes not only the Town Area Porcelain Production Center, but also the Hutian Ancient Kiln Site, the Gaoling Porcelain Clay Mining Site, the Changling Porcelain Stone Mining Site, and the Jiaotan Firewood Production Area.
为了展现这一完整的生产网络，该世界遗产不仅包含了镇区瓷器生产中心，还包括湖田古窑址、高岭瓷土矿遗址、长岭瓷石矿遗址和蕉坦柴薪产区。
The Chinese government has made tremendous efforts in the protection of the property.
中国政府在遗产保护方面付出了巨大努力。
The protection work has lasted for nearly half a century, and the application for World Heritage status has taken 11 years.
保护工作已持续近半个世纪，而申遗历程也长达11年。
"Applying for World Heritage status has helped us better understand how Jingdezhen's porcelain industry evolved into China's ceramics capital," says Wang Tongmao, director of Jingdezhen Municipal Leading Group Office for World Cultural Heritage Nomination.
“申遗帮助我们更好地理解了景德镇瓷业是如何发展成为中国瓷都的，”景德镇市申遗办公室主任汪同茂表示。
"That understanding provides a stronger foundation for future conservation efforts."
“这种认知为未来的保护工作提供了更坚实的基础。”
Deng Chao, head of the world cultural heritage department of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, says the successful inscription also demonstrates how heritage protection can drive urban renewal.
国家文物局文物古迹司（世界文化遗产司）司长邓超表示，此次成功列入名录也证明了遗产保护能够推动城市更新。
"The World Heritage application has helped Jingdezhen transform itself from a declining industrial city into a vibrant center where traditional craftsmanship and modern industry coexist.
“申遗帮助景德镇从一个衰落的工业城市转型为传统手工艺与现代产业共存的活力中心。
It is a powerful example of how cultural heritage can contribute to economic and social development."
这是一个有力的例证，说明了文化遗产如何能够为经济和社会发展作出贡献。”
"It is also important to identify and nurture local cultural resources, make them the cornerstone of regional economic and social progress, so that heritage conservation can go hand-in-hand with urban development," he adds.
“同样重要的是，要挖掘和培育本地文化资源，使其成为区域经济社会发展的基石，让遗产保护与城市发展携手并进，”他补充道。
