Shangjiayao Mound is situated in Group 8, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in a hilly and low-mountainous area. It spans a total area of 1,306.52 square meters and was a celadon kiln site dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties. The surrounding area of the mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards and kiln tools, and the small ring-footed bowls exhibit typical Song Dynasty styles. Artifacts collected from the surface mainly consist of ceramics and kiln tools, along with a small number of pottery items. The ceramic items include shapes such as plates and basins, with glaze colors such as white, green, bluish-green, and brownish-yellow, among which white and green glazes are more commonly seen. Kiln tools mainly include support rings and support cylinders, along with a small number of tray-type implements.

It is also recognized as one of the birthplaces of underglaze color techniques, possessing considerable historical and scientific value.
