Enamel art originated in the West and flourished in China. Cloisonne, known as a diplomatic envoy to spread Chinese culture in the new era, is the artistic crystallization of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. On the occasion of JNU's 115th anniversary, with the cooperation of Chinese and foreign enamel art galleries and a Beijing enamel factory, this exhibition displayed cloisonne in domestic universities for the first time.
