“村村窑火,户户陶埏”——昌江边的窑址

Pottery Kilns among Houses and Villages-the Ceramic Relics by the Chang River

昌江,自古以来为景德镇发展陶瓷业创造了条件,提供了可靠保证。兰田窑所处的湘湖镇南河流域30余处晚唐、五代至北宋时期的窑址,是景德镇早期窑业最重要的中心。遗存下来的宋元时期的窑场以湖田窑最具代表性,窑址规模大、遗迹种类多,是我国古代延烧时间最长的窑厂之一。而位于市中心珠山地区的御窑遗址,见证了明清时期景德镇制瓷业的繁荣与鼎盛。沿昌江及其支流分布的窑址大大小小多达上百处,造就了瓷都的辉煌。

The Chang River can never be left alone at the mere mention of Jingdezhen. The kilns were built alongside the banks of the Chang River, and the city grew with the kilns, stretching as a dragon. It is undeniable that the Chang River is the cradle of the ceramic culture and history in Jingdezhen. For thousands and hundreds of years, the transportation on the Chang River sent the Jingdezhen porcelain up to Qi and Wu, and down to Po and Xun; even sending the porcelain through Yangtze River and extending to the outside oceans, spreading the porcelain to the rest of the country and to the whole world. The ceramic relics along the Chang River witnessed the millennium prosperity of Jingdezhen.
