Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum (II) - Palace Museum Hall.

The Palace Museum Hall of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum. This exhibition selected more than 120 exquisite and representative works from the 6,000 ancient enamel wares collected by the Palace Museum, and displayed them in two units: filigree enamel and painted enamel. The units are displayed in chronological order, and are supplemented by several jade, porcelain, and bronze wares for comparison, in an effort to reflect the development and exquisite beauty of China's ancient enamel craftsmanship. In the long history of China, many excellent craftsmanship techniques have been spread overseas and have had a significant impact on the world, such as papermaking, silk weaving, and ceramic craftsmanship. At the same time, China has also actively absorbed foreign craftsmanship to enrich and promote the development of its own national culture, and enamel craftsmanship is one of them. The craftsmanship of using copper as the body and enamel as the decoration is collectively referred to as enamel craftsmanship. Enamel is a foreign craft. After it was introduced from overseas, it was quickly localized after being absorbed, transformed, and refined by China, and it took root and bore fruit, becoming an important craft category with distinctive Chinese characteristics. Enamel crafts are highly valued by the royal court of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties for their beautiful shapes, bright colors, and excellent quality. They have continued to develop and have an impact to this day. Enamel wares can be divided into filigree enamel, engraved enamel, hammered enamel, inlaid enamel, painted enamel, gilded painted enamel, and transparent enamel according to the production process. Among them, filigree enamel and painted enamel, although they have different origins, different experiences, different manufacturing methods and different styles, are the most famous enamel crafts because they are produced in large quantities and are exquisite and beautiful. Enamel products are exquisitely crafted, and it really takes some time to taste them carefully! We can only take a quick look this time!
