最近，一段特殊的陶艺视频在TikTok上走红。
仅手指大小的拉坯机上，陶艺师傅用指尖把比米粒大不了多少的陶泥推出形状，再用竹签、镊子等工具雕琢出高约1厘米的微型花瓶，最后用毛笔上色。
每个动作都让人忍不住屏住呼吸，花瓶成型，制作者还不忘插上一朵小花，相得益彰。
这支视频在TikTok上吸引了4500万播放量，420万点赞。引起了上百位TikTok达人制作合拍视频。
A delicate pottery-making video went viral on popular video sharing app TikTok, attracting more than 45 million views and 4.2 million likes overseas, leading to the popularity of the craftsman who made the miniature ceramics with his fingertips, bamboo sticks and tweezers.

视频账号叫@Chineseporcelain（中国陶瓷），专门发布微型陶艺。视频里的手艺人是一名常驻景德镇的80后陶瓷师，名叫王文化。做微型陶瓷已有五六年时间，最小的作品仅有2毫米，同时还能保持瓷器的型态。
Wang Wenhua, a post-80s ceramicist in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, has been producing miniature ceramics for more than five years. Having learned through lectures at a university, he established his own studio making medium and large-sized porcelains.
2010年前后，王文化从家乡安徽阜阳来到江西景德镇，在陶瓷大学进修一段时间后，创业开了一间陶瓷工作室，主做中到大型陶瓷。
但一段时间后，他感到这样的主流消费品没有太大亮点，转而留意到微型陶瓷的空缺。
This entrepreneurship experience gave him the chance to shift his focus to the creation of miniature ceramics because he believes traditional pottery doesn't easily grab people's attention in the modern world.
“我在景德镇见到世界上最大的瓷器，却没见过最小的，那我为什么不试试去做呢？” 王文化制作出的最小作品，直径仅有2毫米，轻到一只苍蝇也可以抓住。他追求作品的工艺价值，在器型设计上不断尝试新的创意。
"I've seen the world's largest porcelain in Jingdezhen, but never the smallest one, so why not give it a try?" he said. With his smallest artifact at only 2mm in height, Wang endeavors to push the limits of innovation and challenge himself with new designs.
想把陶瓷做得更小，拉坯是个难题。通用型的拉坯工具对于微型陶瓷太大了，王文化就自己研制了一台迷你拉坯机。没有专门的手工工具，他就地取材，用过竹签、铁丝、钢钉，甚至还用过女儿的发卡。
For his miniatures, commonly-used clay molding machines were too big and Wang has to sort out tools for himself — instruments such as bamboo sticks, wire, steel pins and even his daughter's hairpin.
2018年，王文化注册了抖音账号“微陶老王”，把微陶制作的视频发到网上。没想到，视频一路走红，最高的一条视频在国内的播放量超过千万，并火到了海外平台。在TikTok上，他的视频累计播放超过1.2亿。
In 2018, Wang Wenhua registered his own account on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, and uploaded videos of his manufacturing process. The videos soon became viral online, with the most popular having been viewed more than 10 million times in China. His videos also earned him a reputation overseas. On TikTok, the view count of his videos have totaled over 120 million.
微陶视频受追捧的背后，是海外网友们对中国陶瓷技法的广泛兴趣。
众多海外陶艺师甚至慕名来中国学习。在千年瓷都景德镇，每年有几千名来自世界各地的陶艺师来访。他们希望在地道的中国传统制瓷工艺中汲取灵感，创作出更精妙的作品。
These miniature ceramics made by Chinese potters have fascinated many overseas netizens. Many foreigners even come to China for professional training while thousands of potters worldwide come to Jingdezhen, hoping to draw inspiration from traditional Chinese porcelains to create more exquisite works.
英国创作者@Florian Gadsby是一名陶艺师，目前TikTok账号拥有140万粉丝。Florian极其喜爱中国古代陶器，尤其是宋代的龙泉青瓷和官窑对他的陶瓷创作影响很深。他的陶瓷作品器型简洁，多为低饱和度的纯色。
除了陶瓷，竹编、木雕、油纸伞、鼻烟壶等中国传统工艺在TikTok也广受欢迎。这些工艺短视频正在吸引越来越多的外国网友，为他们展现出中国文化丰富多彩的釉色。
