Porcelain sculptures have long been a medium for commemorating historical events and figures, blending artistry with cultural storytelling. Among the most common themes are depictions of legendary rulers and heroes, such as Emperor Qin Shi Huang or Guan Yu, symbolizing leadership and virtue. Scenes from pivotal battles or dynastic achievements, like the Silk Road or Zheng He's voyages, also feature prominently, celebrating national pride.

Religious and mythological motifs, including Buddhist deities or the Eight Immortals, reflect spiritual devotion and folklore. Nature-inspired designs, like dragons and phoenixes, embody harmony and imperial power. Finally, tributes to artistic milestones, such as Tang Dynasty poetry or Ming Dynasty porcelain techniques, highlight China’s enduring creative legacy. These themes not only preserve history but also elevate porcelain into a timeless cultural artifact.
