In the 18th century, when Europe was suffering from sectarian strife and war, China was in the era of The Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
When the missionaries returning from China presented a beautiful picture of Chinese social life in front of the Europeans, it immediately attracted the envy of the whole of Europe.
As a result, in the 100 years from the end of the 17th century to the end of the 18th century, an unprecedented "China fever" was formed in Europe.

During this "China fever" that lasted for more than 100 years, the whole of Europe was extremely interested in Chinese materialism and culture. Chinese artifacts led European fashion, especially the emperor's supplies in Chinese palaces.
During the "China fever" popularity in Europe, Europeans were keen to imitate Chinese artistic styles and living customs, forming a fashion known as "Chinoiserie", which penetrated into all levels of European life, such as daily necessities, home decoration, garden architecture, etc.

As a result, some artists began to paint "Han Feng" into oil paintings. Among them was the Austrian still life painter Max Schödl (1834-1921).
His paintings often focus on the common utensils and ornaments in life, and the painting style is extremely delicate and realistic, in which it is not difficult to find the shadow of the "oriental fever" in Europe in the 19th century
