On September 1 day, local time, Evan Kyle, a pawnbroker in Minnesota, USA, posted a short video on the social platform, publicly stating that his pawnbroker had received an album with a large number of photos of Japanese invasion of China, which was identified by experts as photos of the Nanjing Massacre.

As soon as the pawnbroker Evan Kyle knew the importance of the photo, he contacted the owner of the photo album. They all agree that the museum is the only destination for this photo album.

Just recently, Evan Kyle, the pawnbroker, said that he had donated this album of new evidence of the Nanjing Massacre to the Consulate General of China in Chicago for free, and claimed that he personally gave it to the Chinese representative. Only in this way can he rest assured.

In the face of such a person, China naturally won't be stingy with his reward, and gave him a national first-class porcelain-"beaming-icing on the cake". As a matter of fact, national gift porcelain is the highest honor that China's diplomacy can give. Usually, only the head of state can get it, and only a few of them are distributed every year.

What is yellow glazed porcelain?

Yellow glazed porcelain is a kind of low-temperature glazed porcelain, which is sintered in an oxidation flame with an appropriate amount of iron as colorant and lead as cosolvent. The traditional low-temperature yellow glaze in China began to be fired in the Han Dynasty, but the color of low-temperature yellow glaze before the Ming Dynasty was not really yellow, mostly yellowish brown or dark yellow.

The yellow glaze in the period of Hongzhi Zhengde was true yellow, with uniform color tone, flat glaze color and good gloss, reaching the highest level in history. Because of its light and delicate color tone, it was also called "yellow pouring".

Yellow glazed porcelain was a product of Xuande earlier, and most of the handed down products were plates. Yellow glaze is applied inside and outside the vessel, and the glaze color is plump and delicate, with no particles throughout. In a word, it has been passed down from generation to generation, which makes contemporary yellow glazed porcelain not only have good gloss, but also high transparency, and become a beautiful landscape in low-temperature glazed porcelain.
