Economic Observation Network According to CCTV Finance, at noon at Zibo North Station, Wang Zhi, who runs a soft ceramic art studio, returned to Zibo after attending an event in Hangzhou. Her cultural and creative work "Ma Biao Biao" received high praise and shone brightly in the competition.

The expression is cute, the hairstyle is messy, and it combines the realistic body shape of a galloping horse with a freehand facial image. This little horse created tens of thousands of sales at the beginning of the Year of the Horse.

Wang Zhi graduated from Beijing Normal University with a major in oil painting. After graduation, she returned to her hometown of Zibo and began her life in soft pottery at a local entrepreneurship incubation center. Wang Zhi's initial entrepreneurial direction was to customize portrait figurines for customers on online platforms. In three or four years, she completed the primitive accumulation of technology.

In 2017, Wang Zhi encountered her first turning point in career development when Zibo Zhoucun Ancient Mall invited her team to create a scene work about the national intangible cultural heritage "Zhoucun Core".

The success of the first customized scene work solidified Wang Zhi's original intention to continue cultivating soft pottery creation, and various themed small works were born one after another. During the three years from 2019 to 2022, the Wang Zhi team shifted their main focus to the development of original works.

After three or four years of precipitation, a series of original works with creative themes have attracted the attention of the industry and become popular on the Internet as the the Year of the Loong approaches. And the biggest winner among them is this fierce and vicious "dragon's buck".

The unexpected success of "Dragon's Nest" became Wang Zhi's first cultural and creative product hit, and the birth and popularity of "Ma Biao Biao" seemed to be an inevitable result.

These colorful "Ma Biao Biao" are all from the "imagination" of Wang Zhi's team, and such distinctive modern aesthetic images are actually based on Qi Baishi's painting "Such a Thousand Miles".
