Lang Tingji (1663–1715)
Lang Tingji (1663–1715) began his official career in 1681 as Sub-prefect of Jiangning, Jiangsu province. In 1705, he was appointed Governor of Jiangxi, a position he held until 1712. During his tenure, he showed a significant interest in local pottery processes, which led to his association with a special type of copper-red ware known as "Lang ware." However, recent scholarship suggests that Lang ware, characterized by its unique copper-red glaze, was likely produced long after Lang Tingji's tenure in Jiangxi. This indicates that while Lang Tingji was influential in the development and supervision of porcelain production, the actual creation of Lang ware extended beyond his direct involvement in the region.
