Features: The art of manipulating clay, the language of fire. Since primitive humans created pottery, clay has been burning in fire until today. The Uyghur ancestors moved from pastures to oases, and pottery has never left their side. In the desolate wilderness, pottery served as a source of food and drink; under the vast desert sky, the beautiful patterns of pottery soothed their hearts. Clay and fire remain unchanged through the ages, while the beauty of craftsmanship evolves endlessly, becoming increasingly refined. The old potters of Kashgar pass down their skills from generation to generation, bringing vibrant colors and endless vitality to the ancient city. The shapes of pottery exhibit exotic styles and diverse postures, while their decorations showcase local characteristics, vivid and touching. Geometric patterns, floral and mountain patterns, as well as patterns of birds, animals, and human figures, are filled with a love for beauty and add a sense of imagination. P37-38
