Site of the Nanyao Kilns in Jingdezhen [Xinhua] |
A 1013.5 square meter kiln site was discovered in 2013 at Nanyao Village in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. Several sites have been unearthed, including two dragon kilns, 11 ash pits, one ash furrow and one road site. Nearly 10 tons of culture relics have been excavated, including a large number of kiln furniture and tile chips. This shows that the site dates from the middle of the Tang Dynasty (766 - 835), more than 1200 years ago. The site is the earliest ceramic industry site in Jingdezhen and pushed the history of porcelain in Jingdezhen back 200 years.
