The Hejia Kiln Mound is situated in Group 10, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, within a shallow hilly area, covering a distribution area of 3,374.55 square meters. It was a celadon series kiln site dating back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. The area around the mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards, kiln tools, and small ring-footed bowls, which exhibit typical Song Dynasty characteristics. The products are divided into two categories: ceramics and kiln tools. The types of ceramic ware include bowls, plates, ewers, saucers, and pouring pots. Glaze colors consist of celadon, yellow, brownish-red, white, as well as green and light green opaque glazes, with green and light green opaque glazes being more common. The surface of the light green opaque glaze shows fine crackling. Kiln tools include pads, cylinders, supports, and strips. The Yutang Kiln Site is of great significance for studying 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 one of the birthplaces of underglaze color techniques, boasting high historical and scientific value.
