¡¡¡¡Chinese ceramic industry is more flourishing from the latter period of the Qing Dynasty to the early period of the Republic of China. The official ware revives again. The light crimson and new famille rose make delightful achievement, the famous craftsmen who make redware in Yixing and the glaze in Shiwan appear constantly and the naissance of the "Wucai" in Liling is the most conspicuous.
¡¡¡¡Chinese traditional decorative ceramics are divided into two types. One is on-glaze decoration which is rich and beautiful in color but is wearing. The other is under-glaze decoration which only has blue-and-white and underglaze red. As a result, these can not display the colorful ceramic pigment. As to the "Wucai" in Liling, it has not only colorful decoration but also has a rich expressive force in the change of color caused by furnace transmutation.
¡¡¡¡The underglaze "Wucai" in Liling has two styles of Chinese picture and western picture, which include all the colors and each color has the distinction between heaviness and lightness, warmness and coldness. As a result, it is heavy but not worldly, light but not stiff which is a great pioneering work at that time. Some wokrs, such as mountain and water pictures, are very bold and forceful in color, which is very difficult to adopt three skills of the impressionism.
¡¡¡¡But it is very regrettable that the production of the underglaze "Wucai" in Liling is stopped in 1930s. The existing works,therefore, is becoming rarer and rare, very costful.
