Jin Liyan, the curator of the exhibition, said that on the basis of inheriting thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, the porcelain-making craft in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties continued to absorb new nutrients, and the development of painting techniques, panning and baking techniques reached its peak. In terms of creative themes, he also broke through the shackles of traditional standardization, and realized the combination of literati, artistry and secularization. In particular, the high-quality blue and white porcelain of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties has a bright and pleasing color and a delicate glaze.
