Yue Kiln Sites, Ancient ceramic production site in Cixi City, China

The Yue Kiln Sites consist of 179 individual kiln locations spread across the region near Shanglin Lake in Zhejiang Province.

These kilns operated continuously from 200 to 1200 A.D., producing celadon pottery throughout the Eastern Han, Tang, and Southern Song dynasties.

The kilns manufactured a wide range of items including wine pots, incense burners, cups, bowls, basins, and children's toys for both local use and trade.

The archaeological site provides extensive material evidence of ancient Chinese ceramic manufacturing techniques through preserved kiln structures and pottery fragments.

These kilns developed specific celadon production methods that influenced ceramic manufacturing across East Asia for many centuries.
