The Wazidang Kiln Site is situated in Group 8, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan, within a hilly and low-mountainous area, with a distribution area of 1,437.78 square meters. It was a celadon kiln site dating back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. The surrounding area of the kiln mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards and kiln tools, and the small ring-footed bowls exhibit typical Song Dynasty styles. There are relatively few artifacts, which can be divided into two categories: ceramics and kiln tools. The ceramic items include bowls, plates, and similar forms. The glaze colors mainly consist of light green and bluish-green opaque glazes. The kiln tools mainly comprise supporting pegs, spacer rings, spacer plates, spacer tubes, and clay discs. The Yutang Kiln Site holds significant importance for studying the commodity circulation and cultural exchange between the Chengdu Plain and the northwestern Sichuan Plateau, as well as the interactions between the Han ethnic group and the Tibetan-Qiang peoples in Sichuan. It is also recognized as one of the birthplaces of underglaze color techniques, boasting considerable historical and scientific value.
