Wazipo Kiln Mound is situated at Wazipo in Group 8, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, within a shallow hill and hilly area, with a distribution area of 1,656.01 square meters. It was a celadon series kiln site dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties. The area around the kiln mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards and kiln tools, and the small ring-footed bowls exhibit typical Song Dynasty style. The artifacts mainly consist of two categories: ceramics and kiln tools. The identifiable ceramic forms are primarily bowls. Glaze colors include white, soy sauce glaze, light green, and green opaque glaze, with light green and green glazes being more common. Kiln tools mainly include supporting pegs, spacer strips, clay discs, and spacer plates. The Yutang Kiln Site is undoubtedly of great significance for studying the commodity circulation and cultural exchange between the Chengdu Plain and the northwestern Sichuan Plateau, as well as the interaction between the Han ethnic group and the Tibetan-Qiang peoples in Sichuan. It is also one of the birthplaces of underglaze color firing and holds high historical and scientific value.
