Recently, the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau in Gaoan City, Jiangxi Province, Liu Jincheng, curator of the Yuan Qinghua Museum in Gaoan, accepted an interview with a reporter from the China Heritage Network to introduce the historical origin of Yuan Qinghua.

According to Liu curator, Yuanqinghua is a kind of under-glaze painted porcelain, which takes cobalt oxide as the color agent, draws patterns on the embryo, after covering the glaze, high-temperature firing, and the effect of objects showing white ground blue flowers or blue bottom white flowers, mainly divided into the following stages of development.
