Jingdezhen Kiln is one of the important porcelain kilns in China in Song Dynasty, located in Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province. Its porcelain firing began in Wude period of Tang Dynasty (6 18 ~ 626). Xinping began to smelt pottery in the Han Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen people's superb porcelain-making skills were favored by the royal family. Song Zhenzong ordered Jingdezhen porcelain to be presented to the imperial court, and took his title as the final payment of Jingdezhen porcelain.

The words "Jingdezhen Year System" are written on the bottom of the porcelain. Over time, there is a saying that "Jingdezhen is salty in the world". During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were years of war in the north, and a large number of potters moved south to escape the war. Jingdezhen has attracted ceramists from all over the world with its broad mind, making it the world porcelain capital to climb the peak of ceramic art, and winning the reputation of "a collection of famous kilns in the world and the essence of skilled craftsmen" for Jingdezhen.

After the founding of New China, many porcelain burning sites appeared in the Song Dynasty, such as Hutian, Hu Xiang, Shinan Street, Liujiawan, Yangmeiting, Shihuwan and Huangnitou Kiln. Among them, Hutianyao site in the southeast of Jingdezhen has the largest scale, rich products, excellent quality and the most representative.

Jingdezhen porcelain has influenced southern provinces, forming Jingdezhen kilns all over Jiangxi, Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces. Jingdezhen kiln porcelain once sold well in the Song Dynasty, and many artifacts and tombs were unearthed all over the world.

Over the years, more than 30 Song Dynasty tombs in Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hebei, Jilin and Inner Mongolia have unearthed as many as 18 kinds of artifacts and nearly 300 pieces of Jingdezhen kiln porcelain. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen kiln products were exported to Korea, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other overseas countries.

Neolithic age:

The emergence and development of ceramics are actually closely related to people's life and production practice. In primitive times about 700,000 years ago, people dried the soil and barbecued the hard containers used to hold water and store food with fire. This is the beginning of pottery.

According to the latest archaeological data, the earliest pottery sites in China are Xianren Cave in Wannian County, Jiangxi Province, Qingtang in Yingde, Guangdong Province, Slippery Stone Cave in Lingshan, Pipiyan in Guilin Town, Guangxi, etc. Its main varieties are gray pottery, painted pottery, black pottery and geometric printed pottery. The technique is rough and the composition is novel and smooth, which shows the technical level of pottery making at that time.
