一路上帶我們去特色產品專賣店，玫瑰露化妝品，土耳其軟糖和地毯，土耳其淘瓷和珠寶. 中國人的生活方式可能不太會買這些，買也只買一點點. 我覺得他們非常想把自己的特產給介紹出去，但是還沒有找到適合的市場. 一般中國人是不會去買他們那麼昂貴的地毯，即使做工再精美. 但是如果中東人到中國來開餐館，開高級的餐館，同時介紹中東的文化，可能就有必要來買這些地毯了. 我在上海住在虹橋附近的賓館里，周圍有一家新疆人開的烤肉店，賣羊肉串和饢，店面如此之小連一個座位都沒有，烤爐加冰箱，還有一個放饢的桌子. 嘴饞的當地人，一買就是10 串, 站在路邊上一串串地咬著吃. 在美國，經常是一家子開印度餐館，邊上小店同時賣印度的物品. 聽著餐館裡邊悠揚的印度音樂，看著牆上印度的手工藝品，飯後可以順便到隔壁買一點印度的特產. 其實中國大城市也可以有這樣的模式，給其他地區的文化展現機會，因為市場大呀. 看見那些旅遊勝地，小商小販賣煎餅啊涼粉，粗糙手工做的花生糖，薑糖什麼的呢，哪有這些外來的食品好吃了？ 光土耳其的小點心甜食，夠讓人垂涎，如果做好了去賣，一定到處搶手的. 我覺得中國發展特色鄉鎮，拚命尋找發展各地特色產品. 有些小的粗糙的東西，並不一定非發展不可，同一類型的別的文化中已經非常成熟而且發揚光大了，那就取人之長補自己之短就好了. 為什麼？ 因為他們的貨好啊. 中國景德鎮的陶瓷要比土耳其的陶瓷，在結構上精細多了，那是瓷. 可是在美國這邊的專賣店，生意冷清，低價也賣不出去. 為什麼？ 因為在美國人家裡第一沒地方放，第二放了怕摔碎. 而土耳其賣的很多是陶器，材料決定了不能精細，但是他們在上面的繪畫卻精美無比，而且要價比中國的陶瓷不止高出多少倍.  而且無論我去到哪裡，他們清真寺里的青花瓷都是那麼誘人悅目讓人喜歡，那都是中國貨呀，景德鎮的設計師應該改變一下設計理念才好，因為明顯產品和市場脫節呀. 我只看見中國把陶瓷做器皿，還沒有看見哪裡大規模地把青花瓷作為瓷磚鋪設房間，桌面和地板的. 我去山西看那些大院，幾乎門口都有山牆，牆上有精美的磚雕. 那我就想啊，青花瓷有各種的藍，深藍，藍黑，純藍，藍綠，現在中國人的豪宅都是照抄美國這邊的設計，沒有文化的精美韻味，有沒有建築師可以發揮藝術想象力，用青花瓷設計整套做牆的裝飾，地板的裝飾？可以有不同顏色，不同主題，甚至可以有層次浮雕型的. 這邊很多的拉丁餐館用的就是花磚，真好看.

The tour guide took us all the way to specialty products stores, rose lotion, cosmetics, Turkish delight and rugs, Turkish porcelain and jewelry. According to the Chinese lifestyle, we might not buy these, and only buy a little. I think they really want to introduce their specialty products, but they haven't found a suitable market. The average Chinese won't buy their expensive carpets, even if the workmanship is exquisite. But if the Middle Eastern people come to China to open restaurants , open high-end restaurants, they also introduce the culture of the Middle East, decorating restaurants may be necessary to buy these rugs. I live in a hotel near Hongqiao in Shanghai, surrounded by a Kebab restaurant opened by Xinjiang people, selling mutton Kebab and Naan. The Kebab store is so small that it doesn』t even have a seat, only the oven and refrigerator, and a table for naan. The greedy locals buy 10 Kebab and stand on the side of the road and bite and eat. In the United States, it is often an Indian family that has both an Indian restaurant and a small shop next door at the same time selling Indian goods. Guests listen to the melodious Indian music in the restaurant, watch Indian handicrafts on the wall, and can go to the next door after dinner buy some specialty products from India. In fact, big cities in China can also have this model, which gives some opportunities to show the culture of other regions, because the Chinese market is so big. I saw those tourist resorts, small business vendors selling pancakes jelly, rough handmade peanut candies, ginger candies, what kind of exotic traditional foods are delicious? Turkish desserts alone are coveted. If you do a good job selling it outside, they must be everywhere. I think China develops characteristic towns and villages, and is desperately looking for the development of special products around the world. Some local small rough things are not  necessary for development. The product in other culture is already very mature and has been carried forward, so it is better to take advantage of others to make up for your shortcomings. Why? Because their goods are better. The ceramics in JingDeZhen, China are much finer than the ceramics in Turkey because they are porcelain. However, in the United States, JingDeZhen 』s ceramics business is deserted and cannot be sold at low prices.  Why? Because in the homes of Americans, the first ceramics have no place to display, and the second one is people are afraid of breaking them. And many of Turkey sells pottery, the material determines that it can not be fine, but their paintings on it are very beautiful, and the price is higher than that of China  ceramic, many times higher. And no matter where I go, the blue and white porcelain in their mosque is so attractive and pleasing. But that』s all Chinese goods. Designers in JingDeZhen should change their design concepts, because their products and the market are obviously out of touch. I only saw people in China using ceramics as utensils. I haven't seen any large-scale rooms with blue and white porcelain tiles, tables and floors. I went to Shanxi to see those courtyards. There are gables at the door. There are exquisite brick carvings on the wall. At that time I thought, blue and white porcelain has various blue, dark blue, blue black, pure blue, blue green. Now the Chinese mansions are all copied from the design on the American side. Without the exquisite charm of Chinese culture, there is no space for architects to use their artistic imagination. Can blue and white porcelain be used to design a complete set of wall decoration and floor decoration? It can have different colors, different themes, and even embossed layers. Many Latin restaurants here use tiles, which are really beautiful.
