In his work The Mandarin, Portuguese writer de Queiroz states: “In China, there is a Mandarin who is wealthier than any legendary or historical king. You know nothing about him, not his honorable name, not his countenance, not the silk he wears.” ¹ The term ‘Mandarin’ originates from the West, and is their name for Chinese Confucian officials and aristocrats. In the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, ‘Mandarin’ is defined as “a government official of high rank in China in the past”. Later, it was used as a term to define other things such as ‘Mandarin porcelain’ referring to the famille rose porcelain decorated with Chinese Confucian officials and aristocrats in Qing dynasty attire. The Mandarin image first appeared on export famille rose porcelain, usually decorated with one or more figurative scenes in cartouches (frames), accompanied by gold-bordered motifs of flowers, birds, and butterflies. Mandarin porcelain first came into use during the Chinese Emperor Kangxi period (1661-1722), flourished during the reigns of Emperor Yongzheng (1722-1735), Emperor Qianlong (1735-1795), and Emperor Jiaqing (1796-1820), and gradually disappeared during the reign of Emperor Daoguang (1820-1850). The emergence and development of Mandarin porcelain holds significant value in the history of Sino-Western exchanges, and the history of international ceramic art.
