  The "Wenzhou Literati Porcelain" was built by Zheng Jushuang, the head of Mingshan Ceramic Institute. Over the years, he has devoted himself to combine the two intangible cultural heritage arts (Wenzhou Egg Painting and Ancient Ou Kiln) by making drawings on porcelain and applying local materials to bring the innovation to the traditional intangible cultural heritage art.




  The first time Zheng Jushuang entered the Mingshan Village, his ideal was transformed into reality in this provincial-level historical and cultural ancient village by its paradise-like quietness and its cultural richness which the literati favor mostly. Afterwards, the Mingshan Ceramic Institute of Intangible Cultural Heritage Base came into being.



  Zheng Jushuang discovered the path here to combine porcelain clay and culture. He cooperated with more than a dozen of inheritors of Pingyang Egg Painting, the municipal-level intangible cultural heritage art, to jointly created the "Wenzhou Literati Porcelain".

  Wenzhou (Pingyang) egg painting is a traditional painting art that uses Chinese painting techniques to depict landscapes, flowers, birds, figures and other patterns on the eggshell. The colorful world is being condensed on this small eggshell. In order to design a unique "Wenzhou Literati Porcelain", Wu Yongjiang, Cao Hong and other egg-painting inheritors made bold innovations on the theme of egg painting, which made new products derive out one after another. Those artistic paintings of scenery of Jiangxin Island and Yandang Mountain painted on the ceramic cups, porcelain plates, and personalized tea sets showcase the fascinating charms of two intangible cultural heritage arts.
