Originally, Vincent Fang wanted to name the song "Bronze", because bronze is not romantic enough to change the Song Dynasty's "Ru ware" for the song title, however, the Ru ware of the word "Ru" would give rise to unflattering associations, and coupled with the romantic elegance of porcelain, Vincent Fang finally decided to use porcelain as the title of the song. At first, the word "porcelain"(青花瓷) was misheard by Jay Chou as "frog pond"(青蛙池).
The song won the 19th Golden Melody Awards for Best Song of the Year, Best Lyricist of the Year, and Best Composer of the Year, while Jay Chou won the awards for Best Composer and Best Album Producer, with Vincent Fang receiving the awards on his behalf due to Jay Chou's absence.
