Shouzhou Kiln Ruins

Shouzhou Kiln Ruins are widely distributed, and most of them are found in the mountains to the north and east of the ancient city of Shouzhou.

There are also conditions for obtaining soil. According to Hong Renjing and others' "History of Chinese Ceramics", Shouzhou kiln was one of the famous kilns of the Tang Dynasty, ranking sixth: Huo kiln, Yuezhou kiln, Xing kiln, Ding kiln, Wu kiln, Shou kiln, Hong kiln, Yue kiln Kiln, Qin kiln, Shu kiln. Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" also ranked the bowls produced by Shouzhou kiln above the products of Hong kiln, ranking fifth, and called them "Shouzhou porcelain yellow". The main raw material is purple clay, and the products include bowls, cups, cups, pillows, pillars, tiles, etc. The firing technology of cosmetic clay was used as early as the Tang Dynasty. A white porcelain coat was first applied to cover the rough tread and set off the glaze color. It is beautiful; the utensils are placed in the sagger and are not contaminated by fireworks, so the glaze is smooth, the color is uniform, and the yield is high. The color is mainly yellow glaze, with green, waxy yellow, eel yellow, yellow-green, sauce color and black glaze colors. According to research by porcelain experts, "three-color" porcelain is obtained by adding green and white to the yellow glaze.

The relics of Shouzhou kiln products produced in various places can prove that Shouzhou kiln products spread all over the north and south due to the convenient transportation of Feihuai River, and they occupy a considerable position in the history of Chinese ceramics.
