Liu Yucen's porcelain paintings have a unique style in material selection, composition, and color design, absorbing the literati painting style into the field of ceramic art. The entire work integrates poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing, making ceramic art stand out from the tedious decoration of late Qing ceramics, becoming interesting, lively, and innovative artworks. In particular, Liu Yucen's innovative approach to powder painting techniques, the creation of the "water dot technique," directly using "glass white" to create flower images, and then using watercolors containing pigments to add color to them. The colors are vivid and natural, and the flower heads are more lively and natural, which has had a great impact on the art of powder painting flowers and birds. The establishment of this technique is not only an innovation in craftsmanship, but also a new proposition for the art of pink flower and bird, which is the solid foundation of Chinese freehand brushwork combined with the innovation of pink ceramic craftsmanship. The "water dot method" plays an indispensable role in absorbing the fresh painting styles of Ren Bonian, Yun Nantian, and the people of Silla to draw pink ceramic works.
