上林湖越窑遗址

Yue Kiln Sites at Shanglin Lake

上林湖越窑遗址位于浙江省慈溪市中南部翠屏山丘陵地带，分为上林湖、古银锭湖、白洋湖、里杜湖 4 大片区。现已发现瓷窑遗址近 200 处，已编号窑址179 处，仅在上林湖周边就密集分布有115处窑址。

上林湖越窑遗址是我国公元2～12世纪创立的规模较大、遗存分布密集、保存较好的大型古代瓷窑遗址群，展现了越窑从创烧、发展、繁盛至衰落的整个历史轨迹，被称为“露天青瓷博物馆”。上林湖一带是唐宋时期越窑青瓷的中心产地，这里烧造的秘色瓷代表了唐宋瓷业生产的高度成就，晚唐时设有“贡窑”，五代时设有“瓷窑务”，专事生产供奉瓷器。精美的上林湖越窑青瓷不仅用于内需，而且是我国最早输往海外的大宗商品之一，推动了中西方文化经“海上丝绸之路”实现的交流与融合。

The Yue Kiln Sites at Shanglin Lake are located in the hilly regions of the Cuiping Mountain in the central-southern part of Cixi City, in Zhejiang Province.They are divided into 4 areas – the Shanglin Lake, the Ancient Yinding Lake, the Baiyang Lake and the Liduhu Lake. Nearly 200 kiln sites have been found here so far, and 179 of those have been numbered. There is a dense distribution of 115 kiln sites, just within the area surrounding the Shanglin Lake.

The Yue Kiln Sites at Shanglin Lake are large group of ancient large-scale kiln sites developed during the 2nd to 12thCentury CE. They are well-preserved kiln sites with densely distributed relics, showing the entire history of the Yue Kilns from their initial start-up, growth, prosperity, and their decline. This area is known as the "Open-air Celadon Museum". The Shanglin Lake area was the center of Yue Kiln celadon during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The secret colored porcelain produced here represented the highest skill and achievement of the Tang and Song Dynasty porcelain. The " Kiln for tributes " was established during the late Tang Dynasty, and the "Kiln Service " was established during the Five Dynasties, which specialized in   production of porcelain used in rituals. The exquisite Yue Kiln celadon produced along Shanglin Lake was not only used to cater to domestic demand, but also served as one of the earliest commodities to be exported overseas through the "Maritime Silk Road", promoting communication and amalgamation  between the Chinese and western culture.

荷花芯窑址

Hehuaxin Kiln Site

荷花芯窑址是上林湖地区具有代表性的唐宋时期越窑窑址，瓷片等分布面积约4000平方米。窑场除生产一般的生活用器，还制作供奉朝廷的秘色瓷器。

荷花芯窑址经过历次考古发掘，清理出两条龙窑遗迹和丰富的作坊遗迹，出土大量精美的瓷片标本。

唐代龙窑遗迹长41.8米，最宽处2.8米，窑床坡度13°，可以看到火膛、窑床、窑门的基本形状，窑床内堆放有窑具、瓷片等，保持了龙窑废弃时的原始状态。龙窑复原模型长48米，最宽处近3米，内高1.5米，窑床坡度12°，通过再造1比1模型，模拟展示昔日烧造场景。

The Hehuaxin Kiln Site is a representative Yue Kiln site of theTang and Song Dynasties in the Shanglin Lake area. The ceramic relics are distributed across an area of about 4,000 m2. Except for daily use utensils, the kiln also produced the secret colored porcelain that was meant for imperial tributes.

By the archaeological excavations in the past years, two Dragon Kilns and various workshop relics were unearthed at the Hehuaxin Kiln Site. The excavations also brought innumerable exquisite ceramic fragments out of ground.

The relic of the Dragon Kiln in Tang Dynasty is 41.8meters long and 2.8 meters wide at its widest point. The kiln bed has a 13° slope. The basic shape of the fire chamber, kiln bed and kiln door are clearly visible. Kiln artifacts and ceramic relics are piled up on the kiln bed. The original state of the kiln since it was abandoned has been retained. The reconstructed model of the dragon kiln is 48 meters long, nearly 3 meters wide at its widest point, and 1.5 meters tall. The kiln bed has a 12° slope. The reconstructed 1:1 model simulates a firing scene in ancient days.
