Group of Kiln Sites for Leicha (Pounded Tea) Utensils in Jiangle

The Group of Kiln Sites for Leicha (Pounded Tea) Utensils in Jiangle is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Fujian Province.

The Group of Kiln Sites for Leicha (Pounded Tea) Utensils in Jiangle is located at the Wuma Mountain Kiln Site in Shengli Village, Guyong Town, Jiangle County; the Liaocuo Mountain Site in Yuhua Village, Guyong Town, Jiangle County; the Hengke Dong Kiln Site in Yuhua Village, Guyong Town, Jiangle County; and the Liangfang Kiln Site in Liangfang Natural Village, Wusu Village, Anren Township, Jiangle County, dating from the Five Dynasties period to the modern era.

Introduction: The group consists of four kiln sites: Wuma Mountain Kiln Site, Liaocuo Mountain Kiln Site, Hengke Dong Kiln Site, and Liangfang Kiln Site. From the early Northern Song Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period, through the Ming and Qing dynasties to the modern era, these sites were primarily used to produce key leicha utensils such as leipo (pounding bowls). Among them, the Wuma Mountain Kiln mainly produced celadon ware along with some pottery, while the Liaocuo Mountain Kiln Site, Hengke Dong Kiln Site, and Liangfang Kiln Site were specialized in pottery production. Together, the kiln sites form a clear developmental timeline of leicha utensils from the Five Dynasties to the modern period.

In 2013, the Group of Kiln Sites for Leicha (Pounded Tea) Utensils in Jiangle was designated as part of the eighth batch of provincial-level cultural heritage sites by the People's Government of Fujian Province.

Protected area: A 40-meter buffer zone surrounding the surface ceramic remains and kiln structures at each kiln site.
