The tri-colored glazed pottery printmaking, or Sancai murals, is an intangible cultural heritage in Luoyang.
Cheng Guo, a 27-year-old inheritor of Sancai murals, began making this kind of pottery artworks with her father Cheng Yongsheng at the age of 16. After years of practice, Cheng Guo has now mastered key techniques in making Sancai murals like sketching, glazing and pottery firing.
Compared with works of her father, the artworks of Cheng Guo are more creative and better received by young generation. Cheng said young inheritors like her should produce artworks which could keep abreast of the times as well as defend the traditions.
