What's Tapian Rubbings?

Rubbings are one of the important carriers of recording Chinese culture. Suitable materials can be found in history, geography, politics, economy, military, folklore, literature, art, technology, architecture, etc. In a broad sense, rubbings are to cover the surface of objects with rice paper and use ink to record patterns and words. The number and content of rubbings are rich, and the descriptions are all-encompassing, such as oracle bones and bronzes, steles and epitaphs, cliff sculptures, coins, etc.

What's Porcelain Enamel?

Enamel color has the characteristics of thick, bright, opaque and rich layers, has a strong three-dimensional effect, and has the texture of an oil painting.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722), French metal enamel craftsmanship was introduced to China. Later, through the innovation of Chinese craftsmen, Chinese mineral pigments were used and replaced with porcelain bodies, forming enamel-colored porcelain. Enamel-colored porcelain is an overglaze color (on-glaze decoration), After firing, the enamel-colored porcelain will feel convex to the touch.
