Piling on the creativity
Art form may seem, at first glance, a random collection but on closer look reveals hidden depths, Xu Haoyu reports.

In Jingdezhen, known as the "capital of porcelain" in Jiangxi, he learned the techniques of painting and firing famille rose porcelain, blue-and-white porcelain and porcelain in contrasting colors.
After continuous practice, in 2021, Geng successfully created jinhuidui porcelain, which had vanished for nearly a century. The artist then built a porcelain-firing workshop and purchased professional equipment for the creation of jinhuidui porcelain.
Geng is not the only artist, who has been working on presenting jinhuidui on different mediums.
Feng Jing, from Xi'an city, Shaanxi province, printed scarves with jinhuidui art for China's 14th National Games in 2021.
She combined elements of ancient cultures, such as the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), the first Chinese coins and the first monograph on mathematics from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), in one work.
"I hope that everyone will learn about such ancient Chinese artistic expressions," Feng says.
