Tang Cai technique (also known as "Ji Cai") integrates the vibrant colors of Tangka art into the refined beauty of Dehua white porcelain. By combining colors such as yellow, green, red, blue, and purple with the elegant form of Dehua porcelain, the Tang Cai technique incorporates the firing techniques of Dehua porcelain, Tangka painting, jewelry inlay, and metal casting. This combination results in Buddha sculptures that exude grace and grandeur, while the clever interplay of light and shadow adds liveliness to the figures. (Tang Cai involves hand-painting on pre-fired white porcelain bodies, with larger statues taking approximately half a year to complete. Once painted, no further firing is required. The materials used are natural mineral substances, and the surface may exhibit granular particles. The golden lines visible on the product are made of genuine gold.)
