Famous for its nobility and gorgeousness, Jian Zhan was numerously exported overseas through the Silk Road on the sea. However, after Song Dynasty, those traditional firing techniques to make Jian Zhan failed to be handed down to future generations. In recent years, those ancient techniques were regained through untiring efforts made by local authorities and porcelain artists, and have been listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritages.
