This documentary has a novel theme and adopts six representative pieces of Chinese porcelain as the narrative objects to tell the ceramic stories behind them, thus reflecting the more macro picture of Chinese ceramic culture. Based on the introduction to the background of this documentary, the author of this paper explores the ceramic story behind each of the six pieces of porcelain and points out the merits and limitations of the documentary so as to provide references for Chinese media to produce better porcelain-related documentaries.
