During the Republic of China, Gu Yanbing, the son-in-law of Su's Porcelain Kiln in Jingdezhen, used his chemical knowledge to explore the secrets in the "Glaze Formula Database" when traditional blue and white porcelain was languishing in the international market due to poor color stability. He adjusted the ratio of alumina and silica to improve the "never-fading glaze". At Jiujiang Customs, they competed fiercely with the British porcelain merchant Hawke for the gold medal at the International Expo, using spectral analysis technology to demonstrate their advantages. Against "cultural inferiority", he promoted the establishment of the "China Ceramics Research Institute", integrating chemical technology and traditional aesthetics, formulating export standards, demonstrating the confidence of Chinese ceramic culture on the international stage, and writing a legend of counterattack and cultural export.
