Brief introduction of Yue Kiln celadon firing technology:

Applicant: Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province

Yue Kiln is a kiln system with a long history, wide influence and rich cultural connotation. It is the first kiln to break through the original porcelain firing and move towards mature porcelain production.

Yue Kiln is mainly produced in the place where the ancient Yue people lived. It was called Yuezhou in the Tang Dynasty, so Yue Kiln got its name. Yue Kiln is famous for producing celadon. Its porcelain making skills, decoration techniques and modeling styles have reached a very high level in ancient China. In particular, the court porcelain "secret color porcelain", which is specially made, has become a classic in ancient China.

The mature technology of Yue celadon makes it reach a high level in modeling and decorative art. Due to the clear glaze color, suitable for carving, printing, drawing and other decoration, as well as the development of brown color painting form, combined with the Tang Dynasty gold and silver, silk, lacquerware and other handicraft patterns, formed the unique decorative style of Yue Kiln celadon. There are many kinds of ceramic sculptures in Yue Kiln celadon, which has become one of the important characteristics of its plastic arts.

Yue Kiln has been firing for nearly a thousand years. It has not only retained many exquisite Yue celadon products, but also inherited the exquisite Yue celadon firing skills. On the basis of traditional Yue Kiln celadon technology, today's kiln workers inherit and develop its glaze color and modeling decoration technology, preserve the traditional techniques of carving, drawing, brown color, kneading and so on, and develop celadon painting, which not only protects and inherits the traditional Yue Kiln Technology, but also makes Yue Kiln celadon really integrate into modern people's life.
