Chaozhou Tiandong Fortune Teller _ Who is Chaozhou Tiandong Fortune Teller?

What are Chaozhou ceramic products in Tang and Song Dynasties?

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many kilns in the suburbs of Chaozhou City. There are Hongcuo Port and Zhuyuandun in the southern suburbs around the ancient city, and four kilns in Shangbu Port and Beiditou in the northern suburbs.

As for the kiln sites in the Song Dynasty, Bijiashan in the eastern suburbs to Hongcuo Port and Zhuyuandun in the southern suburbs. Further north to Tiandongyuan, Yaoshangbu, Wengpian Mountain, Zhugan Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain and Fengshan, Fiona Fang is intermittent10km.

In ancient times, there were as many as 36 kiln stoves in Chiling area of Fengshan. What a magnificent sight it would be if these kiln mouths were lit at the same time and the fire reflected the whole city!

At that time, ceramic products included bowls, plates, dishes, stoves, pots, cans, washing, boxes, Buddha statues, animals, westerners' heads and so on. Among them, the carp pot was inherited and transformed from the Tang Dynasty, and only one in Guangdong. Glaze colors are blue and white, green, black, yellow sauce, brown sauce, white and so on. Decorative techniques include painting, printing, carving, stippling, modeling, carving and pasting.

Among them, Bijiashan ancient kiln site is the most concentrated and famous, stretching 2000 meters, with a row of kiln sites. Known as White Porcelain Kiln and Baiyao Village in ancient times, Chaozhou was the porcelain capital of Guangdong in Song Dynasty, regardless of kiln range, output and porcelain making art.

Moreover, the images of western figures and animals found here illustrate the "extroversion" of Chaozhou ceramics. What's more, five pieces of porcelain were found in an underground kiln in Yang Biguang. These are four Buddha statues and 1 Lotus. The Buddha statues are engraved with the year, month, day, place name, kiln name, supplier and manufacturer's styles respectively.

These five complete styles of Song porcelain are unique and priceless in China. Their "water cave kiln" and craftsman Zhou Ming proved the original kiln site of Baiyao Village.

Because it was built in the east of Hanshui River, it was named Shuidong Kiln in Song Dynasty, and its wares originated in Yang Biguang. Shanqian village is the village where Zhou lived, and it also left a faint historical footprint for Chaozhou porcelain capital to move westward to Fengxi after Bijiashan kiln mysteriously turned off.
