The art of ceramic micro calligraphy has been honored as a national intangible cultural heritage, with Liu Dachuan seamlessly blending calligraphy with ceramic craftsmanship, presenting a fresh perspective on this traditional art form.


Creating ceramic micro calligraphy is a formidable task. Liu Dachuan can meticulously inscribe hundreds of Chinese characters within the area of a fingernail, with the clarity of his strokes still visible when magnified. This demands exceptional control and precision, requiring not only mastery of calligraphy but also profound knowledge of ceramic crafting and firing techniques. Without such expertise, months or even years of painstaking creation can be jeopardized by issues arising during the final firing process.
