Reactor neutrino experiments have played an essential role in shaping the field of neutrino physics. In recent years, two major reactor neutrino experiments have been constructed in southern China: the short-baseline Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, which has been successfully completed and decommissioned, and the medium-baseline Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), currently in the detector filling phase. The Daya Bay experiment made the landmark discovery of an unexpected large value of θ₁₃, opening the door for measuring the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) using reactor neutrinos. Built upon this success, JUNO is designed to determine the NMO by resolving two distinct neutrino oscillation frequencies imprinted in the reactor neutrino survival spectrum. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of neutrino oscillation and the latest results from Daya Bay. I will then focus on the design, current status, and rich physics potential of the JUNO experiment.
