    Hi Prof Holland. Thanks for making it easy to understand. Love it! Keep it coming. Can I know which university you are teaching at? Do you do authentication of Chinese porcelain? thank you.

    1. Professor Joy Holland

      Hello, ceramic porcelain work is a specialized field of study; my area of expertise would be the history of architecture design and urbanism. I did not see any of the viewers’ comments until today. I am now responding to everyone’s comments. Thank you for watching! I continue to study and conduct research in the history of visual culture, as there is always more to learn!

    “Yue” does not pronounce as “U”. “Ci” does not pronounce as “C”.

    1. Professor Joy Holland

      Hello Tony, I did not see any of these comments until today. I am now responding to everyone’s comments. Please let me know what are the correct pronunciations of “Yue” and “Ci” words. I appreciate the help, as it is always important to improve and learn more of the language.

    2. Tony S

      @Professor Joy Holland you can find correct pronunciation in “Chinese pingyin dictionary” by searching “ci2” and “yue4”. You may have a bit of difficulty to hear the single words, just try a few of those examples down the list that are 2 words.
      Btw, I enjoyed your video very much I think it was professionally made.
