The Memorial Exhibition of Master Potter Lin Tien-fu showcases his ceramic artworks created over 77 years, covering different stages categorized into five themes: Daily Life Ceramics, Three-dimensional Sculptures, The Era of Flower Pots, Artistic Crafts, and wood-fired creations , featuring over 150 select pieces. 

Lin Tien-fu was born in 1926 and began learning pottery at the age of thirteen under a master from Fuzhou. Known as "Master Tien-fu," he dedicated his life to pottery, mastering various techniques from clay collection to shaping, kiln-building to firing, sculpting to painting. His expertise included hand-thrown pottery and original sculpting, specializing in creating ceramic tables and chairs, large teapots, cauldrons, and incense burners, all reflecting the essence of Taiwan's traditional folk pottery.

The term  "硘仔" (pronounced hui-a in Hokkien) refers to ceramics, embodying Taiwan's pottery legacy. Lin Tien-fu, founder of Zhunan Snake Kiln, witnessed Taiwan's ceramic history throughout his life, leaving behind significant contributions to traditional Taiwanese pottery. 

Lin Tien-fu had a naturally optimistic and contented personality, evident in his pottery that exuded a natural, genuine, kind, and beautiful charm. His exceptional aesthetic sense and creative abilities shone through in his three-dimensional modeling, sculpting, and carving, embodying the essence of "The Sound of Taiwanese Ceramics". His works are a poetic reflection of earth and fire, documenting Taiwan's ceramic development and passing down precious pottery craftsmanship through generations. Each piece of his work embodies Taiwan's native ceramic artistry.
