#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 The Yaotou Kiln, surviving since the Tang Dynasty, is a treasure of millennia-old pottery. Entering the park, the rich aroma of earth and fire washes over you. The interplay of black and red at the ancient kiln's entrance speaks of the scorching heat of time. Artisans, absorbed in the clay, their fingers darting, seem to be in dialogue with history. I quietly watch a ball of clay being spun and formed on the potter's wheel, the fusion of water and earth so elegant. The resulting pottery is delicately textured, as smooth as jade, and exudes a subtle aroma of smoky craftsmanship. As the sun sets, the entire kiln area is bathed in a crimson gold, as if time has frozen here. As I depart, the warmth of the clay still lingers on my palms, the gentle warmth of a thousand years of craftsmanship.

Porcelain is one of the important inventions of the working people of China. When it comes to ceramics, many people will think of Jingdezhen, the famous millennium porcelain in China. But many people dont know that this is 1300 in Shantou Kiln in Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province. The ancient villages and towns, which have been known for many years, are also famous for their ceramics. It was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006 with the famous Guandezhen Jingdezhen. Known as "Kingtou Town", Shantou Kiln has a long history. It is one of the famous folk porcelain kiln in history and is famous for its black porcelain. However, with the change of history, Shantou Kiln has lost its past style and prosperity. Since Shantou Kiln has been in a state of decline since the Republic of China, most young people choose to go out of their hometowns to the big cities, and the ancient kiln is gradually turning off. Now, after coming here, you can also see many sites that have been forged ceramics. There are many ruins burned here, and the preservation is not bad. Nowadays, there are more than 30 ancient kiln in Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China. It is also one of the most intact preserved ancient kiln sites. In front of these ruins, people have to be sighed by the "cruel" of history. Walking into a cave in the Daoguang period, it seems to be able to feel the brilliance of firing ceramics there. Up to today, some ancient kiln can also fire pottery normally, and the fireworks continue. The Ruilongfang, located at the foot of the site, is a workshop still making ceramics. Du Jiankui is one of the masters of Ruilongfang and is also burned by Shantou Kiln. The representative representative of the craft. On the basis of maintaining the original appearance of the kiln, the site of the Shantou kiln reproduces the former style of the kiln, the surrounding gully, the Luoshui coiled, the ancient tower stands, standing on the hillside of the entire site, as if it were only static. I am watching the history here alone. For those who are not interested, you can come here and feel it.
