Differences between fish maps in Ming and Qing Dynasties

Throughout the ancient society of China.

In the Ming Dynasty, the production of fish-pattern porcelain centered on Jingdezhen appeared unprecedented prosperity, with rich varieties of fish-pattern porcelain and strong flavor of the times. Porcelain industry reached its peak in Qing Dynasty. Decorative patterns not only inherited the excellent tradition of the previous generation, but also developed and innovated. The types, quantities and combinations of porcelain fish patterns exceeded those of the previous generation. The extensive use of fish decorative patterns in Ming and Qing porcelain is not accidental, but the result of historical accumulation. Tracing back to the source, fish patterns run through the whole ancient China society.

Fish pattern, one of the traditional decorative patterns in ceramic decoration, can include the combination of fish pattern and other patterns in a broad sense, and only refers to pure fish pattern or fish pattern in a narrow sense.
