1938 was born in Qingshui Town, Taichung County. He was educated in Qingshui Primary School, Changhua Middle School and Taipei Institute of Technology.

1962-64 entered the first training course for kiln workers organized by China Productivity Center and Trade Center.

1963 joined beitou crown kiln ceramic tile kiln factory as technical director.

1964 went to the ceramics department of Nagoya Institute of Technology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan for further study, and studied under Kato and Kaneko.

1964-74 engaged in glaze agent research and technical guidance for kiln transformation production in ceramic tile kiln factory, and created glazed tiles for kiln transformation.

At the invitation of painter Yan Shuilong, 1972-75 was hired as a ceramic teacher of Practitioners Academy of Fine Arts.

1974 rented a house at 2 13 Zhongzheng Road in Shilin, actively engaged in glaze research at home, and personally designed and built the first gas kiln in Shengping, that is, the first work-ruby red glaze cup. In order to test his evaluation, it was the first time (and only time) that he took his work to the antique street to enjoy it. Since then, more and more people have asked for it, and this activity has opened the prelude to his creation.

1974 after resigning from the ceramic tile kiln factory, he was hired as the technical consultant and director of Ying Ge tunnel kiln, responsible for the mixing, start-up and operation of glaze. Then, at the invitation of friends, Ying Ge cooperated with porcelain, specializing in glaze matching and kiln firing, including various high-temperature red glazes, Jun kilns, Tianmu glazes and iron glazes. Later, I had to leave the factory because my partner asked for capital increase.

1974 rented a small studio in Ying Ge for research and creation, and rented a kiln nearby, which temporarily solved the problem of kiln burning.

1975-76 In order to concentrate on creating and building their own kiln, they moved to Xinglin 3rd Road, Beitou. During this period, almost all kinds of small objects were created by themselves, and they began to accept various orders from antique dealers and art shops in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, including Tianmu, Jun kiln, red glaze, folk kiln peach blossom red, blue and white, Yue kiln celadon and so on. Since then, the development direction of the small square kiln has taken shape.

During this period, 1976 visited the Forbidden City from time to time to study ceramics of past dynasties. On one occasion, Dong Yihua, the leader of the porcelain group at that time, was attracted by his excessive expression. After the leaders reacted to their superiors, they were able to make an exception and appreciate the red glazed Guanyin bottle, the treasure of the Palace Museum, in the most direct way.

The attack of 1977 platform caused the studio to be flooded. For the safety of my family and work, I moved to Xian Lane in Beitou to build a kiln. Later, a group of staff were trained to help the needs of various occupations in the future. Therefore, the number of ceramic products in Chuangyuan is increasing day by day, covering almost the elites of famous kilns in past dynasties, including white porcelain, celadon, Longquan porcelain, blue-and-white porcelain with different styles in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and red porcelain in glaze. Since then, the scale of Xiaofang Kiln has been gradually completed, laying the foundation for diversified creative direction.

1978-83 I got to know Mr. Zhang Daqian, and then I specially developed and made a variety of utensils mainly used for the display of the study, and also made gifts used by Dafeng Hall for many years, mostly single-color glazed porcelain such as peach blossom red, ruby red, bean green, shadow blue and beige glaze. At the age of 84 (1982), he painted a plum blossom picture for Mr. Cai Xiaofang's vase as a gift to his relatives and friends, which may be the only work presented by Mr. Daqian in ceramic form.

1978-85 commissioned by Japanese tea ceremony experts, a series of (complete sets of) Japanese tea ceremony utensils were made, mainly celadon, blue and white, and glaze red, including Japanese antique tea sets. Because Xiaofang Kiln's works have been gradually recognized by people from all walks of life at home and abroad, the call for debugging has never stopped. However, compared with self-made works, overseas commissioned objects need to pay attention to soil, glaze color, pattern, shape and even weight, and some of them are quite different from China ceramics, so the difficulty is relatively high. However, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks you encounter, the object can finally be presented in the most perfect state.

1978- ordered by antique dealers in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Hiroshima, Japan, including all kinds of imitation antique porcelain from China and Japan.

During the period of 1978-92, he won the Taiwan Province Excellent Handicraft Award for many times, including porcelain desk lamps, tea sets, tableware, flowerpots and so on.

During the period of 1980-95, we exported to American products in Hong Kong, San Francisco, Atlanta and other places, and discussed and cooperated with American interior designers to develop and create a series of decorative or practical utensils in line with modern homes, such as desk lamps and drum chairs. During this period, a variety of monochromatic glazes were developed, including red glaze, tooth white, bean green, deep sky blue, peach red, Tianmu black, Ji blue, Jun kiln and kiln purple glaze.

198 1 During the exhibition of the works of modern Chinese and Japanese ceramists in the History Museum, Yoshida Kenzo, a Japanese art critic, wrote a special article for this exhibition, discussing the current situation of ceramics in Taiwan Province and Japan (published in the May issue of Japanese Ceramics Monthly 198 10). Although Cai Xiaofang did not attend the exhibition at that time, he was unexpectedly criticized in his article (this is the first time that a Japanese publication has commented on Cai Xiaofang's works). In his article, he said that he could not understand that Cai Xiaofang could create so many outstanding artifacts. He regarded Cai Xiaofang as the only Taiwan Province ceramist who surpassed the Japanese in awe.

1983-00 At the request of Mr. Jiang Fuzhen, former director of the Palace Museum, the cultural relics of the Five Dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were copied. Although Cai Xiaofang has profound knowledge and achievements, she still keeps experimenting and studying every kind of glaze color, just to perfectly reproduce the subtle changes of ancient utensils. During this period, the utensils she undertook almost covered the unique glaze color and shape of official kilns in previous dynasties, with a number of more than hundreds. On the one hand, the cultural relics produced and created by ourselves in the past ten years have been used for the exhibition and exhibition of the Forbidden City, on the other hand, they have been exhibited together with overseas exhibitions of the Forbidden City for many times.

1984 was invited by China Nvlan Art Society (predecessor of China Floriculture Association). Based on the floral devices described in ancient poems and paintings, combined with experience, imagination and aesthetic thinking, it challenged various glazes and shapes, and successfully reproduced the floral devices in various ancient paintings for the China Classical Flower Arrangement Art Exhibition.

1994-96 exhibited the replica exhibition of Turkish ceramics handed down from ancient times at Maruyama Art Museum in Nagoya, Japan (Topkapu Palace Museum). Topkapu Palace Museum is the imperial center of Turkey from 15 to 19 century, and there are many ceramic objects with special shapes in its numerous collections. After the gallery contacted the museum, it commissioned Xiaofang Kiln to make it. It only copied many classic and special items through the catalogue in the book. Although the production is very difficult, the final product is still amazing.

1994 Up to now, although the tea culture in Taiwan Province Province has been very distinctive in recent years, it is a great pity that the items of tea sets are relatively simple and insufficient, and it is generally impossible to match all kinds of teas and tea soups in the most appropriate way. Therefore, Xiaofang Kiln developed a series of Ru Kiln tea sets with profound humanistic flavor and aesthetic connotation on the basis of years of research results of Song porcelain, and later developed a variety of monochromatic glazed tea sets such as milky yellow, ivory white, top white, azure and iron spot. Through these efforts and influences, the Chinese people's attention to tea sets and quality requirements are driven, and the development of tea culture in Taiwan Province Province is both humanistic and more exquisite.

1995 was invited by Austrian aristocrats to develop antique painted porcelain plates and complete sets of dinner plates.

1996-00 a new era of ceramic art in small square kiln-the beauty of glaze becomes the art center of taichung. During this period, he created many different glaze series for changing kilns and designed various modern medium and large-sized utensils. In order to find the characteristics of each glaze color, glaze medicine is prepared according to the shape of each object, and the changeable glaze application methods and techniques, skilled technology and unknown surprises are intertwined to create a touching style of kiln glaze.

1997-99 China ceramic imitation exhibition was exhibited at Maruyama Art Museum in Nagoya, Japan. The items on display are mainly paintings, including tricolor, multicolor, bucket color, pastel, blue and white, glaze red and so on. It fully shows the exquisiteness, magnificence and complexity of all painting objects, but it still has subtle and rough customs.

In 2004, based on the long-term emphasis on local culture, the Datun tea set was restored by the Beitou Cultural Foundation. This kind of tea set, which was fired in northern Taiwan Province Province in the early days, is quite different from today in glaze texture and soil. Therefore, repeated discussions on what it should look like lead to repeated bottlenecks in the process. Finally, a link is perfectly installed in this lost culture, so that the spirit of our ancestors can be reproduced in the contemporary era.
