Jian Kiln, one of the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, also known as “Jian’an Kiln” and “Wuni Kiln”, is distributed in Jianyang Shuiji Kiln, Nanping Chayang Kiln, and Mount Wuyi Yulingting Kiln. The three kiln sites are collectively called Jian Kiln System. Famous for firing black glazed porcelain. Small bowls are the most common, with black mud colored fetal bones and multiple strip-shaped crystal patterns on the glaze surface, as fine as rabbit hair, known as “rabbit hair cups”. There are also those that are burned into “Partridge Spots” and “Silver Star Spots”, which are unique and beautiful. Underglaze grain is a decoration made by using the acidic traces formed by acidic glaze materials. Due to the upward firing of kiln ceramics, the glaze water hangs down, and the finished glaze color at the mouth edge is light. Due to the different slopes of the vessel walls, the flow rate is fast and forms fine streaks, while the flow rate is slightly slower and thicker, forming the shape of rabbit hair. Some vessels have inscriptions on the bottom of them, such as “offering to the emperor” and “entering” cong, which are tribute porcelain.
The black glaze “Jianzhan” produced by Jianyao has a wide influence and is highly valued by tea ceremonies in regions such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Among them, treasures from the Southern Song Dynasty such as “Yao Bian Tianmu” and “Oil Drop Jian Zhan” are regarded as national treasures by Japan and are renowned throughout the country.
