Liling ceramics production has a history of nearly two thousand years. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liling had a large-scale workshop, specializing in pottery production. In the seventh year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1729), Liling began to burn coarse porcelain. Liling porcelain industry entered a new development period in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It was at this time that the underglaze porcelain that made Liling famous in the world was born. During the period of 1904, Xiong Xiling, a native of Fenghuang, Hunan Province (who served as the Prime Minister of Beiyang Government after the Revolution of 1911) and Wen Junduo, a juren from Liling who had participated in the "writing on the bus", made various inspections in line with the idea of saving the country through industry and combining Liling's technological advantages and actual situation. In Liling, the idea of "establishing a school and running a company" was put forward to vigorously revitalize Liling porcelain industry. Received strong support from the Hunan government. At that time, Hunan Official Porcelain School was officially opened in Liling. The following year, Hunan Porcelain Manufacturing Company was established in Liling, with Xiong Xiling as the general manager and Wen Junduo as the school supervisor. The company hired Japanese technicians and Jingdezhen skilled workers to introduce the most advanced production technology and equipment in Japan at that time, which opened a new era of Liling from coarse porcelain production to fine porcelain development. Liling's unique underglaze porcelain was developed under this background. Using self-made underglaze pigments, traditional Chinese painting with double hooks and "three-firing" method, a refreshing underglaze multicolored porcelain was made. Under-glaze multicolored porcelain is exquisite in porcelain quality, exquisite in painting, fresh and elegant, unique in style, colorful under glaze, showing vivid pictures, which has high artistic value and use value. Its appearance immediately aroused great concern and praise from people in the industry and public opinion at home and abroad. From 1909 to 19 1 1, Liling underglaze multicolored porcelain participated in Wuhan Persuasion Association, Nanyang Persuasion Association and Dulang International Competition respectively, and won gold medals in succession. Liling porcelain began to make a name for itself in China and went to the world. "White as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper and loud as a chime" was a good evaluation of Liling porcelain at that time.
