Liou says that after China's Cultural Revolution ended in 1978, artists began to try to develop ways to revive traditions. In recent years, "ceramics towns" and university ceramics departments have been set up. Now the Chinese are investigating international trends, such as how the Japanese set up ceramics laboratories and how the Europeans market their pottery.
劉峰雄指出，1978 年中國改革開放後，已有藝術界人士開始意識到尋回傳統的重要，近年紛紛打造各地「陶鄉」、設立國立大學陶瓷科系，最近更積極學習日本建立陶瓷科技實驗室、仿效歐洲陶瓷的銷售模式，並開始推展國際化交流活動，全力急起直追。
