Yaozhou Kiln is famous for its celadon. Yaozhou Kiln represents the highest achievement of celadon art in the north and middle of China's two celadon kilns. Yaozhou porcelain glaze is blue-green, deep-colored, like ice and jade, simple and solemn in shape, rich in decorative patterns, and rigorous and vivid in composition. Its glaze color, shape and ornamentation are consistent and harmonious, which makes people feel clean and handsome. The rough and smooth lines are like a magnificent Shaanxi melody. Very different from southern celadon, it is green, bright and rich, with its own characteristics.
The firing of Yaozhou porcelain began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Ying Hou Bei in Song Deying recorded the grand occasion of Yao kiln in detail. Huangbao Town is the earliest place to burn porcelain locally. When it was founded, it was mainly black porcelain and a small amount of celadon. In the Tang Dynasty, exquisite tricolor utensils, artistic furnishings and architectural glass components were made. From 1984 to 1986, archaeologists discovered the only second Tang Sancai firing site in China (one of which is Yuxian County, Henan Province). During the Five Dynasties, celadon developed greatly and became the "tribute porcelain" of the country. In the Song Dynasty, the manufacturing technology reached perfection, and porcelain kilns all over the country competed to imitate it, eventually forming a huge Yaozhou kiln system with Huangbao Town as the center, Gansu in the west, Henan in the east and Qinling in the south, which became an outstanding representative of northern celadon art. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yaozhou porcelain was exported to East Asia, West Asia, Southeast Asia and East Africa through the Silk Road, which was confirmed in archaeological excavations in many countries.
Yaozhou porcelain series is extremely rich, and many of the porcelain found are rare treasures, especially black porcelain towers and pots, Tang tri-colored faucet components, blue glazed carved watering pots, etc., which are priceless. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the nomads from the Jin Dynasty invaded south, and the turquoise moved south. The Yellow River basin suffered serious damage, and Huangbao Town was doomed. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Shili Kiln was a barren hill and rubble, so it disappeared. From 65438 to 0974, the relevant departments of Shaanxi Province listed the restoration of Yaozhou porcelain as a key scientific research project. After hundreds of experiments by scientific and technical personnel, it was finally fired successfully, which reproduced the glaze color of ancient Yaozhou celadon and was unique in China porcelain making technology. At present, the decorative patterns of tableware, tea sets, wine sets and home decoration products of Yaozhou porcelain have maintained the characteristics of a wide variety of Zhou celadon in the Song Dynasty. This pattern adds a new flower to the traditional craft products of animals and plants.
