Monograph: "Slab-Formed Bone, Silent Poise: The Tectonic Logic and Literati Spirit of Li Feng's All-Handmade Zisha Square Ware" (方直为骨，静穆致远)

Publication Date: Fall 2026 | Frontispiece Feature (扉页一), Pages 01–06

About this publication

In an extensive six-page frontispiece monograph, the official journal of the Zhejiang Modern Ceramic Art Museum documents Master Li Feng’s thirty-year practice dedicated exclusively to mold-free, all-handmade square vessels (Xiangjie Fangqi). The publication examines Li’s spatial discipline derived from late Ming and Qing master Chen Mingyuan, analyzing his tectonic slab-construction, volumetric firing contraction without stone molds, and the architectural dialogue embodied across his representative works—including Mingzheng, Mingyuan Shiwen, Suifang Zhuyuan, Sifang Tiliang, and Yuying.
