See Zheng Tinggui, Taoyang zhuzhici, in Fuliang xianzhi, Daoguang edition, 1832,
annotation to poem 3: Ԛ༸Б໇ҷᙘψִΝٝ໺ژ. ౻ᅃʱ̡, ͉ࣹྨ̡̹ҷ୅ታᕄ,
ࡒ၍ᇉي. Zheng Tinggui, Taoyang zhuzhici in Mian Lian, ed. (2004), 279-284 is also a
reprint of the thirty poems, although Mian Lian is mistaken when he says the poems were
published in the Kangxi Fuliang xianzhi.

Gong Shi was a secretary to the Jiangxi provincial governor general, and he also
compiled folksongs of Jingdezhen potters: Gong Shi ᛵ༲, Jingdezhen tao ge, in Sang
Xingzhi et al. (1993). Gong Shi’s hometown Nanchang was located only forty
kilometers south of the Poyang Lake and was the metropolis of Jiangxi. I have yet to
ascertain where these poems were first published, though in the Shanghai Museum Rare
Book Library, there is a copy: Gong Shi, comp., Jingdezhen taoge. ౻ᅃᕄௗဂ
(Shanghai: Zhongguo shudian jiaoyin, n.d. [1824]).

For example, see the following Zheng Tinggui’s poems in Taoyang zhuzhici in Fuliang
xianzhi, Daoguang edition, 1832: Poem 16 gives an elegiac account of Tang Ying’s years
as the supervisor of kiln production during the Qianlong period and the poems Tang Ying
wrote while touring Jingdezhen. Poem 17 hails Tang Ying’s preservation efforts for a
pavilion in the mountains surrounding Jingdezhen and its subsequent decay due to
official neglect. Poem 18 extols Tang Ying for writing about a temple dedicated to a god
of ceramics that was described as a Jingdezhen native who had once lived there.

81 I thank Chen Ruiling, retired Professor of Art History from Tsinghua University
(Beijing), for advising me over a conversation at the Shanghai Meishu Guan in December
2006 about the increase of porcelain bodies transported from Jingdezhen to Canton
during the nineteenth century. See Liu Zifen, Zhuyuan taoshuo, in Guci jianding zhinan
̚ନᛡ֛ܸی, eds., Wu Yueͼᚔ and Zhao LingwenႻ˿ත (Beijing: Yanshan, 1993),
93. Here, the poet and late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century writer noted
the rising production numbers of Canton wares and their impact on the production
