The four ancient kilns in China have their own characteristics.

The four ancient kilns in China are Cizhou Kiln, Longquan Kiln, Jingdezhen Kiln and Dehua Kiln.

Cizhou Kiln was founded and burned in the middle of Northern Song Dynasty, reaching its peak. It continued to burn in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin Yuan and Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a long burning history and strong vitality, and there are many relics handed down. The shape and ornamentation of Cizhou Kiln are deeply loved by the people, with wide influence and rapid development. All parts of the north have imitated it one after another, and a huge cizhou kiln system has been formed with Guantai Town in Handan as the center, mainly distributed in Hebi kiln in Henan, Dangyangyu kiln in Xiuwu, Bachun kiln in Yuxian, Quhe kiln in Dengfeng, Jiexiu kiln in Shanxi, Huoxian kiln in Shandong, Zibo kiln in Jiangxi, Jizhou kiln in Ji 'an, Quanzhou kiln in Fujian and Guangyuan kiln in Sichuan, all of which are similar in style to cizhou kiln.

Longquan Kiln is a famous kiln in the history of China, which is named because its main producing area is Longquan City. It started in the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty. It has a history of 1600 years. This is the longest porcelain kiln system in the history of porcelain making in China. Its products sell well in many countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Europe, with far-reaching influence. Longquan kiln has green glaze, which was pink blue in the Northern Song Dynasty and onion blue in the Southern Song Dynasty. If you don't open the piece at the turning point of the vessel, it often presents fetal color, and the porcelain glaze is thick and moist, and there are few carvings and scratches on the decoration. However, decals and reliefs are more popular. For example, plates are often piled with Pisces patterns, and bottles are covered with peony patterns. The porcelain industry reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Besides the five famous kilns mentioned above, Pingyang Kiln in Pingyang, Shanxi, Yaozhou Kiln in Yaozhou, Shaanxi, Jian 'an Kiln in Fujian and Jizhou Kiln in Jizhou, Jiangxi also produced quite good porcelain. Cizhou Kiln, located in today's Cixian County, Hebei Province, is the center of large kiln industry in northern China, which is highly valued by Japanese. A large number of porcelains have been sold to Japan in the past dynasties, and there is a reason why the Japanese also call porcelain porcelain. In the Southern Song Dynasty, two brothers, Shengyi Zhang and Zhang Sheng, set up a kiln factory in Longquan, and the raw kiln was named "Ryukyu Kiln", also known as "Ge Kiln"; The kiln that holds the second burning is called Longquan kiln, also called underground kiln.

Celadon and white porcelain were fired in the Five Dynasties, and the glaze color of celadon was gray, while that of white porcelain was pure, reaching 70 degrees. In the Song Dynasty, it was found that Hutian, Hu Xiang, Shinan Street, Liujiawan and other sites all burned celadon, and the glaze color was between blue and white. Yangmeiting and other three kiln sites were also changed to burn celadon, including plates, bowls, bottles, cans, boxes and pillows, decorated with carving, printing, flower making and dot making techniques. In the late northern song dynasty, the northern reburning method was absorbed, and the output increased greatly. New varieties of blue and white, underglaze red and underglaze color were created in Yuan Dynasty. 1976, a China Yuan Dynasty shipwreck was found in Xin 'an, South Korea, and more than 7000 pieces of Yuan Dynasty porcelain/kloc-0 were salvaged, including more than 5000 pieces of Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain and Shufu porcelain, and more than 2000 pieces of kiln mouth were unrecognizable. Ming dynasty became the national porcelain firing center, blue and white porcelain developed greatly, and glaze color, bucket color, plain tricolor and multicolor appeared one after another. In the Qing Dynasty, the colored glaze was improved and created, and the varieties of colored porcelain were richer and the colors were consistent. It can imitate the porcelain of famous kilns in Song Dynasty, and it can also imitate the firing of jade, stone, lacquer, copper, dried and fresh fruits. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, our products have been exported to overseas, such as Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other places.

Fujian Dehua kiln is now Fujian Dehua, hence its name. It is one of the important producing areas of ancient export porcelain in Fujian coastal areas. Found kiln sites 180 from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, and mainly excavated two kiln sites, Qudou Palace and Wanpinglun. Wanpinglun burned porcelain earlier than Qudou Palace, burning celadon and white porcelain, and some were close to white glaze. There are many decorative patterns carved with flowers and combs, and the box has left rich contents. There are more than 100 decorative patterns printed on the cover, and the richness of themes is second to none in southern China. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a workshop specializing in making boxes. Qu Yuan burned celadon from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, white porcelain statues such as Guanyin and Dharma were fired, and the fetal glaze was seamless like white jade, which was known as "ivory white", "milky white" or "velvet white". In the Qing Dynasty, besides white porcelain, blue and white porcelain and painted porcelain were also burned. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Dehua kiln porcelain has been sold overseas. Blue-and-white porcelain of Dehua kiln in Yuan Dynasty was unearthed in Philippines and Malaysia, and blue-and-white porcelain of Dehua kiln in Qing Dynasty was also unearthed in Thailand and Tanzania in East Africa.
