In the fourth year of Emperor Yongzheng’s reign, it was recorded in the Internal Affairs Office Work File that “it was said that in the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, he hoped to make several posthumous glazed troughs”, or similar works. According to the serial number of the basin and bracket, it is a set of flower planting vessels used in the Jingfu Palace of the Forbidden City. The custom of using pots and saucers together has flourished in the Song Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, people were familiar with Jun kiln flower vessels fired in Yuzhou, Henan Province. It is observed that the flowerpot is used together with the receptacle, and there are many plants that like moisture, such as narcissus, Acorus tatarinowii, orchid, auspicious grass (evergreen with small leaves), etc. In the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Jian (painted in 1634) painted the “Flower Stone Potted Orchid” (hence painting 02231) and Jiang Zhe (active in the reign of Qianlong) in the Qing Dynasty (Chinese painting 00176)
