The Nanshishan village is regarded as the No 1 village of China's Tangsancai culture. With support of the local government, a group of representative inheritors created the making technique of high-quality replicas of Tangsancai based on former imitations. The number of local manufacturing enterprises engaged in the industry is now more than 70, forming thousands of products on Tangsancai replicas and glazed pottery in new crafts.
