Since the 80s of the last century, the world art market has set off a wave of "Hongwu glaze red" collection boom. In the 1987 Sotheby's autumn auction in Hong Kong, the big collector Zhao Congyan's old collection of Hongwu glaze red tangled chrysanthemum jade pot spring vase with a transaction price of 11.22 million Hong Kong dollars opened the prelude to the sky-high price of Hongwu glaze red official kiln porcelain.
