The auctions featuring Fujian and Taiwan porcelain have a long history, but for many years, these items were considered part of the "miscellaneous porcelain" category. This changed significantly in 2007 when Xiling Yinshe Publishing launched its "Special History of Famous Artworks." Since then, the value of Fujian and Taiwan pieces has risen dramatically, gaining recognition in the art market. One notable example is the Qing Dynasty's "Wu Chang Shuo Ming and Shen Shiyou Ming Shi," which was valued between 800,000 to 1.5 million yuan and eventually sold for 2.35 million yuan in an auction. Another highlight was the 2010 spring auction by China Guardian, where a Qing Emperor Kangxi Songhua Shilong Ma Yi piece reached 4.256 million yuan. Most impressively, in the same year, Beijing Poly's spring auction saw a Qing Emperor Qianlong "Qianlong Imperial" poetry collection, accompanied by a rosewood cover box, sell for 14 million yuan—setting a new world record for Fujian and Taiwan items. The rapid growth of China’s economy and the renewed interest in traditional culture have fueled this shift, allowing Fujian and Taiwan porcelain to gain momentum and attract collectors globally. In June 2023, during Beijing Poly's 15th anniversary spring auction, a rare piece from Taiwan, the Qing Emperor Qianlong "Qianlong Queen’s" emperor Shi Cheng mud Fuhu with a rosewood cover box, was sold for 14 million yuan, breaking the previous record and drawing widespread attention. This particular book was recorded in royal collections such as the "Kim Ding Si Ku Quan Shu" and "King Ching Xi Qing Shu spectrum." It represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, created by Wu Zhong based on the Chengzhou Cheng mud formula. The Fuhu Temple was stored in an oval-shaped rosewood box engraved with the script "Tiger Fuxu," while the lid featured inscriptions by Jin Li Li Yu Ming and Yan Ming, including phrases like "Not far from the heart" and "Deixis." The box also bore the Qianlong Emperor's seal, fully gilded, making it one of the treasures from his study. In late 2022, during Christie’s Asian Art Auction Week in New York, a Qing Emperor Qianlong imperial ancient-style mud tiger Fuxi, paired with an engraved purple sandalwood enamel box, was estimated at $20,000–$30,000 and sold for $1.4265 million (approximately 9.73 million yuan), further proving the growing demand for these rare works. Fujian and Taiwan porcelain continue to make waves in the market. In 2010, China Guardian's "Gallery — Writer's Clearance" special auction saw a high price of 4.256 million yuan for an Emperor Kangxi Songhua Shilong Maji piece. The item had once been given to Jiang Tingxi by the Emperor Kangxi and later passed through several hands, including the renowned collector Shen Shiyou, before being scattered due to war and economic changes. Despite their rich history, these items were often overlooked in earlier decades. For instance, in the early 1990s, a piece attributed to Zhang Daqian sold for 385,000 Hong Kong dollars at a Hong Kong auction. In 2001, a modern painting by Tang Yun only fetched 80,000 yuan, and a Qingxi Kangxi pineapple pattern was sold for 50,000 yuan in 2002. In 2007, Xiling Yinshe took a major step forward by launching the "Special Forum of Famous Artists in History," marking the first dedicated event for Fujian and Taiwan porcelain in global auction history. The first forum featured over 130 items, with a total turnover of 18.32 million yuan and a transaction rate of 98.3%. A piece by Qing Dynasty artist Yi Bingyi sold for 968,000 yuan, becoming a benchmark for similar works. Since then, Xiling Yinshe has continued to hold special exhibitions, achieving over 90% turnover rates each year. In 2009, a Qing Dynasty literary work titled "Scene of the Qing Dynasty's famous dramas" featuring artists like Wu Changshuo and Shen Shiyou sold for 5.488 million yuan, setting a new world record at the time. Ancient Fujian and Taiwan porcelain remains highly sought after due to its historical significance and the involvement of literati artists. Meanwhile, modern Fujian and Taiwan art has also gained attention. In 2007, Beijing Hanhai launched a sculptural collection featuring top works by renowned artists like Songkeng, Li Yi, and Liu Yanliang. Their works, represented by Wang Yao, Cai Yongjiang, and Zhou Xinyi, are celebrated for blending classical techniques with contemporary meaning. In 2008, China Guardian also introduced more than 10 modern artworks, including pieces by Yang Liuhai, Lun Shaoguo, and others, with some valued over 500,000 yuan. These developments show that both ancient and modern Fujian and Taiwan art are now key players in the global auction scene.
