Qili Kiln Site

　　The ancient porcelain kilns of Ganzhou are located in Qilizhen, east of Ganzhou City, hence also known as the Qilizhen Kilns. The Ganzhou Kilns were among the first batch of provincial-level cultural heritage protection units announced by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province in 1957. The Ganzhou Kilns began production during the Yuan Dynasty and were one of the four major kiln sites in Jiangxi Province during the Song Dynasty. Their products were mainly for civilian use, including items such as pillows, bottles, cups, teapots, jars, bowls, plates, saucers, cups, basins, censers, and inkstones. The body of the products was mostly earthenware, with fewer porcelain bodies. Among the Ganzhou Kiln products, there is a unique type called the "glazed drum-studded jar with incised willow-pattern dots," which is distinctive to the Ganzhou Kilns.
