The invention belongs to the technical field of architectural ceramics, and particularly relates to a highlighted glazed ceramic tile with an water absorption rate of 8% and a preparation method thereof. The ceramic tile sequentially includes a rough body layer, a glazing layer and a surface pattern printing layer from the bottom to the top; the technological process comprises the steps of material preparation of rough bodies, ball-milling, pulp discharging, spray drying, material storage, corrosion prevention, molding, drying, glazing, printing, storage in trolleys, firing, classification, firing at low temperature, classification, packaging and warehousing. The highlight glaze ceramic tile with the water absorption rate of 8% completely solves the problem that after being used for a long time, the glazed surfaces of wall tiles are likely to crack, and meanwhile, the transparent texture of the highlighted glazed surface is maintained at the same time; moreover, the ceramic tile has the advantages of being abundant in grazed surface texture, great in surface texture, excellent in stereoscopic impression and the like; by additionally adopting other decoration methods including gold plating, silver plating and the like to process the surfaces, the added value of the ceramic tile is increased, the decoration effect of the product is greatly enriched, and the ceramic tile is significantly upgraded, so that during use of the ceramic stiles, an extravagant and luxurious effect can be achieved.
