Ms. Zhou Shuzhen\u2019s family roots trace back to the Imperial Kiln in Jingdezhen during the late Qing Dynasty\u2014her great-grandfather was an imperial artisan who specialized in formulating glazes and inscribing official marks. With seven generations of porcelain-making, the tradition has been kept alive, and Ms. Zhou Shuzhen is now the eighth-generation heir to this family of porcelain artisans.<br>Jingdezhen Yunzhwei Ceramic Culture Co., Ltd., carried on by President Zhou Shuzhen, adheres to the philosophy of \u201cBlending East and West \u00b7 Uniting Hearts Across the World\u201d and has established the \u201cFengyao\u201d brand. The company has been recognized as a \u201cDemonstration Base for Productive Protection\u201d of Jiangxi Province\u2019s Intangible Cultural Heritage and a Jingdezhen City Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Base. Among these accolades, the most significant is the Nomination Award at the Third \u201cChina Quality Award\u201d\u2014Fengyao remains the only entity in China\u2019s ceramics industry to have received this honor to date.

Made from natural mineral pigments, it uses gold as a color developer and incorporates precious materials such as rubies and red agate. Fired at a high temperature of 1,320\u00b0C, the porcelain body is firm, dense, and flawlessly pure. A single piece of Fengyao porcelain must undergo 72 production steps\u2014including sifting clay, shaping the body, and applying glaze\u2014before it is completed. It is then further embellished with techniques such as hand-painted sgraffito, gold-line decoration, relief carving with gilded relief, and blue-and-white with underglaze red, resulting in a piece that is both magnificent and delicate, elegant and dignified. Because the firing parameters are extremely difficult to control, surviving masterpieces in rouge red have always been rare and are regarded as treasures among pink-and-white porcelain.<br>It is precisely for this reason that Fengyao porcelain has repeatedly taken center stage in China\u2019s diplomatic efforts: the brand was commissioned by the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to produce porcelain for state banquets, and many of its pieces have been presented as state gifts to dignitaries from Russia, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and other countries. The porcelain has also been featured in footage of high-level meetings broadcast on CCTV\u2019s *Xinwen Lianbo* (News Broadcast). Particularly noteworthy is that in 2018, the \u201cDragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness\u201d stationery set\u2014featuring a blush-red blue-and-white doucai design\u2014was presented as a state gift to then-Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. This shade of blush red has long been inextricably linked to the Lion City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3-1024x690.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3-1024x690.webp 1024w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3-300x202.webp 300w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3-768x517.webp 768w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef3.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Encounter in the Lion City: A Seed Quietly Sprouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms. Zhou Shuzhen\u2019s connection with Singapore began with a special exhibition installation assignment. While studying arts management abroad, she took on a family mission to travel to Singapore to curate and install the \u201cSpring and Summer Culture and Art Exhibition.\u201d The vibrant colors of Malaysia, the mystique of India, the elegance of China, and the avant-garde spirit of the West coexisted harmoniously here; and within the exhibition halls, as visitors paused to admire the lustrous porcelain and asked questions about the Eastern philosophy behind the glaze colors, she truly felt the vitality of traditional porcelain art that transcends geographical boundaries.<br>She also keenly identified a gap in the market: while Singapore has no shortage of trendy caf\u00e9s and sophisticated bars, it was hard to find a space that combined modern aesthetics with the charm of Eastern tea culture\u2014a place where one could find peace of mind. Thus, an idea gradually took shape\u2014to carry on the legacy of \u201cFengyao\u2019s\u201d craftsmanship and, using tea as a medium, create a \u201ccultural living room\u201d for urbanites. And so, Incloud was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As the cup floats down the winding stream, the scenery changes with every step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day of the visit, President Zhou Shuzhen warmly welcomed the delegation from the Zhongyuan Association and personally guided the guests on a tour of the teahouse.<br>Drawing inspiration from the elegant \"winding stream and floating wine cups\" gatherings of Eastern Jin Dynasty literati, Xiang Yunduan places water at the very soul of its design. A meandering, shallow water feature flows through the central courtyard, its gentle murmurs infusing the space with a lively rhythm, while curved pathways guide one\u2019s movement, revealing ever-changing vistas with every step. Natural light and soft illumination interplay to create a blend of solidity and translucence, complemented by the warm, tactile appeal of natural materials such as raw wood, bamboo, stone, and rice paper. Landscape screens and solid wood furniture harmonize beautifully, evoking a Zen-like serenity reminiscent of the verse: \"I build my hut within the realm of men, yet hear no clamor of carriages or horses.\" As Singapore\u2019s first teahouse themed around this ancient tradition, the venue serves as both a showcase for ceramics and an immersive space for experiencing tea culture and Eastern aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef4.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/zhongyuan.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/\u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u4e2d\u539f\u4f1a\u4f1a\u957f\u8bbf\u95ee\u56e2\u8d70\u8fdbIncloud\u5df7\u4e91\u7aef5.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Cup of Clear Tea, New Melodies from the South Seas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To cater to Singapore\u2019s tropical climate and diverse palates, Xiang Yun Duan boldly pushes the boundaries of traditional tea beverages: carefully selected premium whole-leaf tea undergoes a 12-hour low-temperature cold brew to restore the tea\u2019s authentic, delicate aroma; infused with fresh seasonal fruits or health-promoting herbs, the tea\u2019s aroma unfolds in layers; paired with custom-made Chinese-style pastries, tea, food, and ambiance blend into a harmonious whole.
