Jizhou Kiln is located on a flat land about 2km long and 1 km wide on the west side of He Yong Town, Ji 'an County. There are 24 ancient kilns in it. It used to be the seat of Gudongchang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, so it was called "Guzhou Kiln". With a long history, grand scale and rich and exquisite products, it has always been yearned for by people at home and abroad, and it is one of the well-preserved ancient kiln sites in China.
Jizhou Kiln was built in the late Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty and declined in the late Yuan Dynasty, with a history of 1200 years. According to "Dongchang Zhi", He Yong Town "in the Five Dynasties, the people gathered their land and cultivated it." In the Song Dynasty, the porcelain industry was developed, with "three cities in Bi Fang Lane and Street", "thousands of splendid shops, more than 10,000 buildings with a hundred feet, and even the words of the Yunnan army", showing a prosperous scene of "countless people, boats and cars coming and going", and the town became one of the "three towns in the world". At present, ancient porcelain pieces and kiln furniture can be seen everywhere. Gu Xiang, a long street with various patterns paved with altar bricks and kiln bricks, criss-crosses, and still retains the style of the ancient capital.
Jizhou Kiln is a comprehensive kiln with high reputation in China, and it is also one of the production centers of ancient black sleeve porcelain in China. There are many kinds of porcelain produced, and more than 20 kinds of shapes/kloc-0 have been found, including green shaft, ivory sleeve, green secret porcelain, black sleeve porcelain, colored porcelain, porcelain carving, glaze color and so on. In particular, products such as "MuyeTianmu" and "Paper-cut Decal Tianmu" are well-known at home and abroad and are listed as national treasures. When Song Huizong tasted tea with the tea set of Jizhou Kiln, he commented: "The color of the lamp is blue and black, and rabbit hair is the best."
Jizhou Kiln Ceramics was one of the important export commodities of China in Song and Yuan Dynasties. Because He Yong Town is close to Ganjiang River, Ganjiang River waterway transportation was mainly used in that year. Many museums and collectors around the world have precious products of Jizhou kiln.
After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the local government strengthened the protection of this ancient kiln site. When Guo Moruo visited Ji 'an from 65438 to 0965, he was particularly concerned about the ruins of Jizhou Kiln. He said that Jizhou in the south, Cizhou in the north, Jingdezhen and ancient kiln porcelain are all treasures in the world, and they should be well protected, which is a testimony to the ancient culture and history of China.
In order to inherit the excellent cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and explore the historical connotation of Jizhou Kiln, with the approval of National Cultural Heritage Administration, the Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Team made the first excavation of Jizhou Kiln under the guidance of experts from the Institute of Archaeology of China Academy of Sciences. Later, Jizhou Kiln Ancient Ceramics Research Institute and Jizhou Ceramics Factory were established one after another to develop and produce all kinds of antique porcelain by traditional techniques. Some high-grade porcelain products are gradually restored and sold at home and abroad.
