City

Ruzhou

Eastern Asia

Ruzhou is a county-level city in the west-central part of Henan province, China, under the administration of Pingdingshan. It has more than 940,000 inhabitants. It is nationally known for its Ru ware porcelain, one of the celebrated types of Chinese ceramics, which gives the city a cultural significance well beyond its size. Its Chinese name is written 汝州, and the porcelain tradition is the feature that most distinguishes it among the county-level cities of Henan.
