Jianning

Painting appears, but is still essentially subordinate, in the decoration of a small tea-bowl, a specimen of the widely popular type with iron-brown glaze, known in Japan as temmoku. The most famous variety was made at Chien-ning, in Fuchien province, and this is consequently known as “Chien” ware, a name often loosely applied to the whole class.]

The baojuan mentions Zhenghe 政和 county in Jianning prefecture as one of the first places to which the group spread in Fujian; see Baojuan chuji 1994, 358 (Sanzu xingjiao yinyou baojuan 三祖行腳因由寶卷, 33b).
