早在战国时期，景德镇市就开始了制造陶瓷。唐代制瓷业已初具规模，宋代景德镇制瓷业有很大发展，宋景德元年，因造御瓷得到真宗的赏识，而改用皇帝年号，易名为景德镇。此后，历朝皇帝都在此地设“御窑”，制作皇宫专用瓷和外交礼品瓷。景德镇是我国古代的四大名镇之一，是中国制瓷业的发祥地，是陶瓷发展史上最具成就的陶瓷艺术王国。
千年的窑火，造就了景德镇丰厚的陶瓷文化的沉淀，使它成为我国第一批历史文化名城之一。众多的陶瓷古迹、精湛的陶瓷技艺、秀美的自然景观、清澈的河流，别致的韵味，使景德镇成为我国35个王牌旅游景点之一，成为海内外旅游新热点。

陶 瓷 圣 火——太 平 窑
在人类文明的发展中，古希腊的圣火，点燃起奥林匹克的体育精神。在中国，中国的景德镇，一支千年不灭的陶瓷圣火在为着人类的和平久久地友好燃烧着，那就是每年中秋之夜的太平窑。
这是陶瓷的圣火，智慧的圣火，籍着广袤的夜空，在向世人展示着它的伟岸，它的神秘；展示着中华民族文化的灿烂；展示着华夏儿女为世界和平所做的奉献。它如同体育的圣火，在人类每个文明的区域，带着和平友好的气息，熊熊燃烧！
陶 瓷 之 路
古老的中国，有许多耐人寻味的东西，远在九千年前，黄河流域就兴起了人类史上的艺术，一种带着东方色彩，含有象形文字特色，淋漓尽致表现民族特点的陶的文化诞生了。当陶与瓷交汇在华夏大地，当世界许多地方流下瓷的神韵时，人们不由地赞誉中国，赞誉中国的景德镇。
人们在追寻着丝绸之路上陶瓷的神韵，在寻找高岭土的密径，在破译瓷之都的神奇。不论岁月悠悠，唐宫里白瓷的光泽，宋廷中影青的靓丽，元区内青花的光耀，明时彼岸刮起的瓷风和清园里瓷的妖娆，无不像一幅画，一首诗，久久地回荡在人们心中。中国的陶瓷为何有如此巨大的魅力，景德镇在向人们讲述着这个美妙的故事。
陶瓷史说
瓷器是我国的伟大发明，它是由远古的陶演变而来的。旧石器时代，我们的祖先就开始了制陶，“印纹硬陶”就是我国陶文化的佐证，到东汉，景德镇就出现了制瓷业。
南北朝时，公元583年，陈朝大建宫殿于建康，诏新平以陶纳贡，巧而弗坚，再制不堪用，乃止。隋朝大业中（公元605—617年）“始作狮象大兽两座，奉于显仁宫”。至此，景德镇开始了人类最早的瓷器制作。
望着魏胜耀的《寒江独钓》，不由得使我们想起唐代思想家、文学家柳宗元代饶州府元崔进奏的情景，尽管柳宗元的好友刘禹锡在《柳河东集》中将进奏的时间记为元合8年（公元813年），这种一千多年的误笔，不可能改变柳宗元（805—814）被贬永州的历史，他十年后才回长安，回京一年后又被贬柳州，在柳州为官五年回京路上去世。终年47岁，那么805年前或815年间呈奏是最符合情理的，这些学术上的问题将留给史学家去证实。不论怎样，柳宗元代元崔进奏的事实，证明了景德镇的瓷器已成为当朝的贡品，形成了当时瓷器“天下无贵贱通用之”的局面。现在我们虽然找不到“陶窑”、“霍窑”的痕迹，但假玉器莹缜如玉，献于朝廷的传说，久久地回旋在瓷都人们的心中。并且唐代的瓷器上就出现过底款，并标明价格、时间。到五代，景德镇陶瓷进入了一个普遍兴旺的鼎胜时期，至今在市区、近郊仍然留有许多古窑遗迹。如湖田古窑，堆积面积约40万平方米，杨梅亭古窑址是五代古窑的代表作，近郊的湘湖街、南市古窑址等丰富的遗产，向人们展示了古代景德镇窑场的风采。此时，“七死、八活、九翻身”的窑谚出现了，吉祥的中秋之夜，燃起了太平窑。
因为唐末宋初战乱，很多能工巧匠选择了这块四面环山、平和的土地作为避战所，大批的陶瓷文化精英在此汇集，并在这里创建了人类陶瓷文化的一个又一个丰碑。北宋，青白瓷以胎薄质坚、釉质晶莹、声音清脆，具有透影性而名噪京华。宋真宗景德年间将新平易名为景德镇，从此奠定了景德镇瓷都的地位。
