Ten thousand years ago, the people of China began making porcelain and ceramic by firing clay in bonfires or kilns. Over the years and through numerous dynasties, the craft developed into an art, reaching its highest peak during the Tang Dynasty, becoming a symbol of the Chinese culture and civilisation.

An exhibition featuring some 80 pieces of fine porcelain panels and vases from China was declared opened by Teng Boon Soon, Deputy Minister of Unity, Culture, Arts & Heritage, at Wisma Kebudayaan SGM, Kuala Lumpur on December 7, 2008. Organised by SGM, Chinese Collection Encyclopedia and Cao Tang Men Eastern Arts Society, the artworks were produced by China's national industrial art masters and one Malaysian artist, Cheah Thien Soong. The Chinese artists were Prof Luo Xue Zheng, Feng Shu Wen, Li Jia Zheng, Chen Yun Kai, Wang Shu Yuan and Yu Xuan from Jingdezhen, China.

The exhibition displayed vases and panel of unique shapes, decorated with fine and exquisite innovations. Highly acclaimed as the "Porcelain Capital," Jingdezhen emerged during the reign of the Song emperor when technical developments reached perfection and the works, including the famous blue-and-white, red under-glazed and egg-white porcelains, are known throughout the world for being "fair like the jade, clear like a mirror, thin like paper and sound like the chime."

In addition, an art talk entitled "The Collection and Appreciation of Contemporary Ceramic and Porcelain" by Prof Luo Xue Zheng was held after the opening ceremony on December 7, 2008. The exhibition which opened to the public on December 6, 2008 was on until December 14, 2008.
