Fengwei Zun, also known as Guanyin Zun, is a popular instrument type in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Langyao red glaze is a kind of high temperature copper red glaze, which has great fluidity at high temperature. The edge of the ware is naturally white due to its thin glaze, and the bottom glaze is thick and thick, even the glaze is condensed into piles. As most of the red glaze utensils in the Shilang kiln have the practice of cutting the outer heel with a knife in the bottom foot treatment, the red glaze layer will not flow to the feet of the utensils or adhere to the pad cake under normal circumstances, forming a unique style, which is said to be “no flow from the mouth to the foot”. The glaze of this statue is bright red and bright like the blood of the first set of cattle, and has a glass luster. It is brilliant and eye-catching. This special glaze utensil is named after the Jiangxi Governor Lang Tingji when he supervised the kiln work of the imperial kiln. The local government’s supervision of the kiln work is one of the management systems and characteristics of the imperial kiln in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is an extension of the old system of the Ming Dynasty.
