Tianjin Porcelain House
The Porcelain House is located at No. 72, Chifeng Road, Heping District, Tianjin. It is a unique building in Tianjin. Its predecessor was a century-old French-style building. Its current life is an extremely luxurious "Porcelain Beauty Building". The building is called: a priceless "Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum". This "Porcelain House" is a French-style building decorated with many antiques on Chifeng Road, Tianjin. It was designed by Zhang Lianzhi, the owner of the Porcelain House. The predecessor of the Porcelain House was a small French-style building with a history of more than 100 years. The original owner was a central finance minister. After the minister left, it became a bank. After liberation, it became the Tianjin Heping District Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It is No. 72 Chifeng Road. No. 70 on the left is the former residence of "Shanxi Merchant" Qiao Tiehan, and No. 78 on the right is the former residence of Zhang Xueliang. Later, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau moved to a new site and left it idle for more than ten years. It was not until Zhang Lianzhi bought it in 2000 that it began its history as a porcelain house again. In September 2002, Zhang Lianzhi spent 30 million yuan to buy a century-old small western-style building and decided to transform it into a porcelain building to promote the porcelain culture of the Chinese nation and build a monument to porcelain culture. At first, Zhang Lianzhi just thought that it would be enough to paste porcelain tiles on the eaves. In 2005, when Zhang Lianzhi attended the Asia-Europe Finance Ministers' Meeting in Tianjin, he went to the Huayun Museum for dinner and was shocked by a wall inlaid with ancient porcelain fragments. Inspired by this, Zhang Lianzhi thought that if the whole house was covered with ancient porcelain, the effect might be more amazing. So he took out all the Tang Sancai, Song and Yuan official kilns, and Ming and Qing treasures that he had collected for many years and turned them into unique building materials. In September 2007, the Porcelain House was officially opened to the public and immediately became a landmark building in Tianjin. From September 2007 to 2014, when the Porcelain House was officially opened to the public, Zhang Lianzhi had been constantly supplementing the Porcelain House, and the most recent one was completed in January 2009.
