Xiluojiayao Mound is located in Group 8, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, within a hilly region. It spans an area of 1,559.93 square meters and was a series of celadon kilns active during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The area surrounding the mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards and kiln tools, with small ring-foot bowls exhibiting typical Song Dynasty characteristics. The main artifacts consist of two categories: ceramics and kiln tools, with a small number of pottery items, as well as fragments from kilns in other regions. The ceramics include various forms such as bowls, basins, plates, and cups, with bowls being the most common. Glaze colors include white, celadon, ginger yellow, soy sauce, green, and bluish-green opaque glazes, with white glaze being the most frequently seen. Kiln tools mainly comprise supporting pegs, spacer bars, and spacer tubes. 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 interaction between the Han ethnic group and the Tibetan-Qiang peoples in the Sichuan region. It is also considered one of the birthplaces of underglaze color techniques and possesses considerable historical and scientific value.
