Though various reasons lead to the decline of porcelain industry of Jingdezhen from the Opium War in the late Qing dynasty to the period of Republican China, the art of porcelain had a tendency to be prosperous,especially in the porcelain carving. There was several famous porcelain artists, Zeng Longsheng was one of the most prominent porcelain carver whose works contained an apparent taste of tradition, but when people took a closer look at his works, modern characteristics could be found. From 1949 to the next 15years before he died, Zeng Longsheng, as a much respected veteran porcelain carver, was quite creative and prolific, which brought traditional porcelain carving to a new height. To-date, his apprentices still work on porcelain carving like the way he did.Based on Zeng Longsheng’s era, this article elaborates on his life course and shows some pictures of his works, from which we can tell that he was an "untraditional" porcelain carver who sought to preserve the traditions.
