At the end of the 1950s, the American scholar John Pope combined the 11th year of the Yuan zhizheng (1351) blue and white vase collected by the Great David Foundation in The United Kingdom, as well as the Yuanqinghua collection in Turkey and Iran, and proposed the theory of "zhizheng", so that the appearance of yuanqinghua was established and attracted the attention of the whole world.
