Blue and white porcelain was not only available in the Tang Dynasty, but also existed during the Eastern Han Dynasty! Blue and white with white background appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, about 600-700 years earlier than the mid-Tang Dynasty. Blue and white existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and blue and white in the Tang Dynasty are already a thing of the past. The latest porcelain with written records found in ancient Maritime Silk Road cities proves that blue and white existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. The history of blue and white porcelain with white background has been advanced by six to seven hundred years! There is physical evidence that a blue and white water cup or pen holder dating from 122 AD during the Eastern Han Dynasty has chronological inscriptions. Undoubtedly! It's so precious that I can't bear to post all the images. If you have any ideas, please contact me for 3.5 million. The first picture is that, and the next five pictures are from the museum during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The blue and white ceramic cup of the Eastern Han Dynasty with the Feathered God Tree is very similar to the crystal cup of the Warring States Period; the image is the same as the Feathered God Tree in the Eastern Han Dynasty portrait stone in Xinjin, Sichuan; the material of the carcass is similar to the one unearthed from the tomb of Haihunhou in the Western Han Dynasty White clay and white ceramics are the same.
The outer wall of the blue and white ceramic cup of the Yuren (also known as Feitian) sacred tree in the Eastern Han Dynasty has the chronological text "Late Autumn of the Year of the Dog" written on the outer wall. The Year of the Dog in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 ~ 190 AD) only has 62 and 122 AD. and 182 years, remove the highest and lowest scores, and take the middle year as 122 AD.
Wang Cizhong transformed the complicated and troublesome official script into simple and easy regular script. The calligrapher Wang Cizhong of the Eastern Han Dynasty is recognized as having made great contributions to Chinese calligraphy and is the earliest calligrapher in China.
Wang Cizhong is an ancient immortal.
Wang Cizhong is living in Xiaoxia Mountain in Daxia Mountain. He believed that the popular seal characters at that time were very troublesome to write and not widely used, and it was difficult for people to learn to use seal characters in a short period of time. The world is in chaos and things are complicated, so the popularization of writing is very important. Wang Cizhong changed the seal script and Zou script into official script. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he thought that Wang Cizhong's reform of writing had made great contributions to the unification, so he invited him to serve as an official in the Qin State, but Wang Cizhong refused. Qin Shihuang was very angry and sent an envoy to let Wang Cizhong enter Qin. He said to the envoy: "I have conquered all the vassal states and unified the world. Who dares not to submit to me! Wang Cizhong is just a scholar, and he dares to defy the emperor. Holy order, how arrogant. If you go to summon him this time, if he doesn't come, kill him and bring his head to see me. I will enforce the law so that people like him will never dare to resist arrogantly again! Qi shouted loudly.
The envoy was ordered to see Wang Cizhong in the mountains and announced the edict and summons from Qin Shihuang. Wang Cizhong immediately turned into a big bird and flew away. He became a flying man. The messenger was shocked and frightened, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged, "If you do this, how can I go back and report to the emperor? The emperor has to kill me. Please have mercy on me!" The big bird was hovering in the air. After waiting for a long time, three feathers dropped deliberately. The messenger had to take these three feathers and go back to Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shihuang had always been interested in cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality. He was very regretful when he heard from the envoy that Wang Cizhong had become an immortal. The place where Wang Cizhong transformed into a great bird feather man is called "Luohe Mountain", Hebei (ancient Youzhou), and the people have been worshiping him.

The blue and white cup of the Feathered Immortal Tree of the Eastern Han Dynasty has the words "Wang Zuo" written on it. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Cizhong became famous in the calligraphy and literary world of China. Porcelain manufacturers also wanted to get a share of the pie. They followed suit and worshiped him. They turned the legend of Wang Cizhong into a legend about Wang Cizhong's refusal of Qin Shihuang's high-paying job and his flight into the sky. They painted it on the cup and signed it: "Wang Zuo" in an attempt to expand product sales.
