Hu Xuemei, mayor of Jingdezhen, spoke highly of the exhibition. Hu said the exhibition showcases the splendid culture of the millennium porcelain capital and provides strong support for inheriting history, enlightening the present, and facing the future.

"The exhibition is not only a showcase of academic achievements, but also a combination of teaching and practice, demonstrating the Fang team's academic spirit of 'knowledge-seeking from practice'," Sun Litao, vice-principal of the Southeast University, said at the opening ceremony. The research results of Fang's team, especially the introduction of the "Jingdezhen Model", are of significant value for understanding the post-agricultural development model of urban-rural interaction in Jingdezhen and the future rural revitalization in China, he added.

Hao Shiyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and president of the Chinese Anthropological Society, emphasized that the Southeast University's research base for visual image of the Chinese ethnic group, as one of the organizers of this exhibition, is not only one of the first research bases in the country dedicated to strengthening the consciousness of the Chinese ethnic community but also the only one focused on the study of visual images of the Chinese ethnic group, showcasing its unique research strength and characteristics.
