Yellow glazed porcelain is the most royal style artwork. Since the Han Dynasty, official kilns throughout history have fired yellow porcelain, but before the Ming Dynasty, yellow glazed porcelain did not show true yellow color, but rather yellow brown or dark yellow. Until the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the firing of yellow porcelain truly reached its peak, and because the yellow glaze was pure, it was also known as "chicken oil yellow" by later generations. For feudal rulers, yellow was associated with wealth and auspiciousness, gradually transforming into a color used by the royal family and becoming a symbol of power and nobility.
