　　In the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty (1738), three men from Hunan—Yang Yiyuan, Luo Wenhua, and Deng Chenghe—came to the Mengtuo Plain to produce pottery. They settled down, started families, and gradually formed a village. To this day, the village has a history of 268 years. At that time, the main products were bowls for serving meals and jars for pickling vegetables, which is why the place came to be called “Wan Yao Village” (Bowl Kiln Village).

　　The earthenware products from Wan Yao Earthenware Culture Village mainly include jars, basins, vats, pots, bowls, cups, plates, saucers, and teapots, featuring a wide variety of types. Many pieces are adorned with floral patterns or designs of dragons and phoenixes on the outer surface. Owing to their delicate texture, unique shapes, and strong aesthetic and practical value, these products are highly favored by consumers and merchants. They are sold as far as Simao, Dehong, Baoshan, Myanmar, and Vietnam, demonstrating strong market competitiveness and making the village a well-known production base for pottery.
