Originating in Yuzhou county, Central China's Henan province, Jun porcelain, which dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), flourished during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and has been passed down through generations through innovation and preservation, stands as one of the top five Chinese porcelains.

"Jun porcelain uses copper oxides as colorants and controls the flame during firing to achieve the successful creation of copper red glaze, which is very different from the single-toned green and white porcelains of the past," said Kong Xiangqing, a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project focusing on the technique of Jun porcelain firing.
