How artistic Yongzheng enamel is;

During the reign of Kangxi and the early years of Yongzheng, the factory could not extract enamel pigments by itself, so many colors had to be imported, and more colors could be created by mixing different pigments.

At that time, there were only eight kinds of enamel pigments, namely, "moonlight, yellow, green, dark bright blue, light blue, scattered yellow, dark bright green and black" or more than eight kinds.

It is far from the requirements of Yongzheng painting on white porcelain, so the enamel in the early Yongzheng period did not make much progress compared with Kangxi.

In the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), Prince Yi Yunxiang presided over the pigment extraction plan in the manufacturing institute, and finally successfully extracted 18 color, which made a breakthrough in the production and firing of Yongzheng enamel porcelain.

For example, according to the records of the manufacturing office, "On July 12th, the sixth year of Yongzheng, according to a post in Yuanmingyuan, Prince Yi handed in the Western Enamel on the 10th of this month:?" The moon is white, white, yellow, green, dark bright green, light blue, scattered yellow, bright green and black, and there are more than nine kinds (western colors).
