Weighing in at 200 kg, the world's largest vitrolite painting is exhibited at the "2009 China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Fair" that opened in Jingdezhen on October 18, 2009. The painter, Wang Zhijun, and tens of assistants spent more than two months creating it.

重约200公斤的世界最大的瓷板画于2009年10月18日在景德镇开幕的“2009中国景德镇国际陶瓷博览会”上展出。创作者万志军及团队数十人费时两个多月方才完工。

At 3.68 m long and 1.58 m high, the vitrolite painting attracted many visitors. It has a similar size to an English billiard table (3.56 m long and 1.78 m high) and weighs about 200 kg, according to Chinanews.com.cn.

据中国新闻网(Chinanews.com.cn)报道,瓷板画长三点六八米,高一点五八米,这幅瓷板画吸引了很多游客。它与英式台球桌大小相仿(长三米五六,宽一米七八),重约200公斤。

The painter, Wang Zhijun, and tens of assistants spent more than two months creating it.

创作者万志军和他数十名助手花了两个多月的时间来创作它。

Wang said he had engaged in ceramics for more than 30 years, adding that because he loved monkeys, the topic of the world's largest vitrolite painting was also related to monkeys.

万志军说他从事陶瓷制作超过三十多年,由于自己喜爱画猴,故此次创作的世界最大瓷板画主题亦离不开“猴”。

A screen-like special base was added to the vitrolite, and the front side portrays an "auspice of monkeys" – a waterfall splashing over the rocks, fat peaches weighing down the branches of the trees, and nine holy monkeys playing around branches. The back side is a greasepaint picture of eight horses galloping. According to its Chinese meaning, both sides signify "promotion right away." The weight of the vitrolite painting display, including the base, reaches 1.5 tons.

首次展出的瓷板已加上特制底座,形如屏风,正面瓷板为“群猴吉瑞图”,画面上飞瀑垂天而降,肥美的仙桃压弯了树枝,九只灵猴于林间嬉戏打闹;背面瓷板为八匹骏马奔驰,画面用油彩绘成,显得十分壮观。两面瓷板镶于同一座框,又有“马上封侯”的寓意。瓷板加上底座重量,达一点五吨重。
