The auctions in Fujian and Taiwan have a long history, but for many years, they were often categorized as miscellaneous porcelain, receiving little attention in the broader art market. This changed significantly in 2007 when Xiling Yinshe Publishing launched its "Special History of Famous Music" series. Since then, the value of items from Fujian and Taiwan has steadily risen, marking a turning point in their recognition. One notable example is the "Wu Chang Shuo Ming and Shen Shiyou Ming Shi," featured in Xiling Yinshe’s "Study of Qing Dynasty and Famous Names in Ancient Scriptures." It was valued between 800,000 to 1.5 million yuan and eventually sold for 2.35 million yuan. Another highlight came in 2010 during China’s Guardian Spring Auction, where Kangxi's "Songhua Shilong Ma Yi" reached an impressive 4.256 million yuan. Most impressively, Beijing Poly Auctions in the same year sold a Qing Emperor Qianlong "Qianlong Imperial" poem, "Cheng Cheng Mu Fuhu," along with a rosewood cover box for 14 million yuan, setting a new world record for Fujian and Taiwan items. The rapid economic growth in China and the renewed interest in traditional culture have fueled this surge. As a result, Fujian and Taiwan items are now capturing the attention of collectors worldwide. At Beijing Poly’s 5th anniversary auction in June of this year, a rare piece from Taiwan sold for 14 million yuan, breaking the previous world record and drawing global attention. This particular item, the Qing Emperor Qianlong "Qianlong Queen’s" emperor Shi Cheng mud Fuhu, was recorded in royal collections such as the "Kim Ding Si Ku Quan Shu" and "King Ching Xi Qing Shu spectrum." It was crafted by Wu Zhong using the Chengzhou Cheng mud formula, making it one of the most exquisite pieces of its kind. The book was stored in an oval-shaped rosewood box engraved with "Tiger Fuxu," while the lid bore inscriptions by Jin Li Li Yu Ming and Yan Ming, including phrases like "Not far from the heart" and "Deixis." The box also featured the Qianlong Emperor's seal, filled with gold, showcasing the craftsmanship of the imperial court. During Christie’s Asian Art Auction Week in New York last year, a similar Qing Emperor Qianlong "Imperial Ancient-style Mud Tiger Fuxi" with an engraved purple sandalwood enamel box fetched $1.4265 million, proving the growing demand for these items on the international stage. Fujian and Taiwan's influence in the art market hasn't stopped there. In 2010, China Guardian's "Gallery — Writer’s Clearance" sale saw Kangxi's "Songhua Shilong Maji" sell for 4.256 million yuan. This piece had once been given to Jiang Tingxi by the emperor and later passed through several notable collectors, including Shen Shiyou, before being scattered after Hashimoto Kiyoshi's death in 1945. Although these items were once overlooked, the late 1990s marked a shift. In Hong Kong auctions, a 17th-century piece collected by Zhang Daqian sold for 385,000 HKD, showing early signs of interest. Even in 2001, a painting by Tang Yun only sold for 80,000 yuan, and a Qingxi Kangxi pineapple pattern went for 50,000 yuan in 2002. However, the launch of Xiling Yinshe's "Special Forum of Famous Artists in History" in 2007 changed everything, marking the first dedicated auction for Fujian and Taiwan items. Since then, the auction house has consistently seen high turnover rates, with over 90% in most sales. In 2009, a group of famous Qing dynasty artists, known as "Shiqu Baolu," sold for 5.488 million yuan at a special exhibition. More recently, in 2010, a piece from the same collection was sold for 2.35 million yuan, reinforcing its status as a top-tier collectible. Beyond historical significance, modern Fujian and Taiwan art has also gained traction. In 2007, Beijing Hanhai launched a sculptural collection featuring works by renowned masters like Songkeng, Li Yi, and Liu Yanliang. Their works, such as those by Wang Yao and Zhou Xinyi, blend traditional techniques with contemporary themes. By 2008, China Guardian had already included over ten modern pieces, some valued at more than 500,000 yuan, signaling a broader appreciation for both historical and modern Fujian and Taiwan art.
