historical background

Changsha Tongguan kiln rose in the middle and late 8th century, and declined in the 10th century and Five Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years. Changsha Tongguan kiln site is located in Caitaoyuan village, Dingzi Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha City, Hunan Province. It refers to the porcelain workshop in Shizhu lake and Tongguan area of Tanzhou (now Changsha) in Tang Dynasty. It is the birthplace of the world's underglaze colored porcelain, breaking the pattern of only celadon and white porcelain at that time. It is known as "the milestone of the outward expansion of Han culture", and has epoch-making significance in the history of world ceramic development.

In its heyday, Tongguan porcelain was exported to 29 countries and regions all over Asia and as far as Africa. Through water transportation, it entered the Yangtze River from Xiangjiang River, and opened up a "road of marine ceramics" from South Asia to North Africa through Yangzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou ports. In Shizhu written by Li qunyu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, this poem describes the spectacular scene of the large-scale construction of the Tongguan kiln near the mountain and the firing of firewood: "the ancient shore pottery is a vessel, and the high forest is burnt. The flame is red in xiangpukou, and the smoke is cloudy in Dongting. "

They confirmed that it was an important kiln site from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, and it was a private kiln without literature.

In 1964, the relevant departments of the state carried out six archaeological excavations. The total area of the sites was about 0.68 square kilometers.
