Qiongyao is an ancient Chinese kiln that began firing in the Southern Dynasties and declined in the Song Dynasty, spanning approximately 800 years. Its products have been widely passed down, with collections in major museums around the world. This book is the first to publish in full the summaries of archaeological excavation reports on Qiongyao and approximately 2,000 photos and illustrations of artifacts. It not only provides an authoritative, detailed, and reliable basis for identifying passed-down Qiongyao ancient ceramics but also serves as primary sources for studying the craftsmanship and technological achievements of Qiongyao.
