Blue and white porcelain pattern coloring is a children’s handicraft activity filled with the charm of traditional culture.
History: Blue and white porcelain is a treasure of China’s millennia-old artistic culture, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. It originated in the Tang Dynasty, during which it was in its initial stages, and specimens from this period are rare. By the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen gradually matured, adopting the dual formula of ‘porcelain stone + kaolin clay’ to make the body more durable. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, blue and white porcelain reached its peak. The Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty produced exquisitely crafted pieces, while the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty marked the pinnacle of artistic achievement. Craftsmanship: The production of blue and white porcelain involves complex processes, including 72 steps such as clay kneading, forming, painting, glazing, and firing. Each step embodies the wisdom and craftsmanship of artisans. This unique craft not only reflects the superb skills of ancient artisans but also showcases the Chinese nation’s pursuit of beauty and creativity. As an intangible cultural heritage, the inheritance and development of blue and white porcelain have garnered significant attention.

This inheritance not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also revitalizes it with new vitality in modern society.
