Is pottery an intangible cultural heritage?

Ceramic art is not an intangible cultural heritage. Ceramic art, in a broad sense, is an art form combining traditional ancient culture with modern art in China. From the historical development, we can know that "ceramic art" is a comprehensive art, which has experienced a complicated and long process of cultural accumulation. It is closely related to painting, sculpture, design and other arts and crafts. In the middle and late 1980s, with the intervention of western modern art, the western concept of "contemporary ceramic art" had a wide and profound influence on China ceramic art, and the concept of "ceramic art" once became a new fashion in the ceramic art world. It still reflects the contradiction and collision between eastern and western cultures.
