In Dingshu Town, Yixing, there is a Shangyuan Village. Here, ‘every household pounds clay and makes pottery’, which can be regarded as the cradle of Yixing purple sand craft talents. Shangyuan Village was renamed Zisha Village in the early 1990s. The pottery-making history here has been at least more than 6,500 years. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the purple sand pottery art in Shangyuan Village has become increasingly exquisite, and there are many masters, such as Huai Mengchen, Chen Mingyuan, Shao Dahong, Wang Yinchun, Gu Jingzhou and others who are masters of pot art. They are all the pride of this village.
Opening hours: Open all day throughout the year.
