According to Chinanews.com.cn, the world's
largest porcelain painting was exhibited at the "2009
China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Fair" in Jingdezhen.
The painter, Wan Zhijun, and tens of assistants
spent more than two months creating the Largest
porcelain painting.
At 3.68 m long and 1.58 m high, the vitrolite
painting attracted many visitors. It has a similar size to
an English billiard table (3.56 m long and 1.78 m high) and
weighs about 200 kg.
Wan said he had engaged in ceramics for
more than 30 years, adding that because he loved monkeys,
the topic of the world's largest porcelain painting was also
related to monkeys.
A screen-like special base was added to
the porcelain, and the front side portrays an "auspice of
monkeys" – a waterfall splashing over the rocks, fat peaches
weighing down the branches of the trees, and nine holy monkeys
playing around branches.
The back side is a greasepaint picture of eight
horses galloping. According to its Chinese meaning, both sides
signify "promotion right away."
The weight of the porcelain painting display,
including the base, reaches 1.5 tons.
