Prince Kung's Palace Museum in Beijing is hosting woodblock printing and ancient porcelain exhibitions for visitors to experience traditional Chinese culture during the Spring Festival holiday.

The Porcelains with Auspicious Animal Patterns Excavated from the Imperial Kiln Site in Jingdezhen showcases 120 pieces of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) porcelain objects decorated with auspicious animal motifs.

The exhibits cover a blue-and-white cricket jar and uniquely shaped artifacts like the blue-and-white phoenix-patterned crane-neck vase and the white-glazed long-neck beast-handle vase.

The Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln was an official porcelain production institution established during the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties to create ceramics exclusively for the imperial court. From the second year (1369) of the Hongwu reign in the Ming Dynasty to the Xuantong reign (1908-12) of the Qing Dynasty, it brought together the most skilled artisans who produced countless porcelain masterpieces in the interim of more than 500 years.
