Nanfeng Ancient Kiln

First, let me tell you something I find quite interesting: After arriving at Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, I witnessed a fight. The two sides were arguing fiercely. Although I couldn't understand much, it seemed that both sides were cursing quite badly. It felt like they were cursing for about three to five minutes, then they started fighting until someone came to break it up. I watched it from beginning to end and found it quite interesting (last picture). Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, known as the living fossil of ceramics, and Gao Kiln, have kept their kiln fires burning and production ongoing for five hundred years, which is rare in the world and has been recorded in the Guinness World Records. Nanfeng Kiln was built in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. Built against the mountain, it looks like a dragon descending, hence the locals call it 'Dragon Kiln'. However, the people of Shiwan call it 'Kiln'. The mouth of the Dragon Kiln faces south, and the tail of the kiln is shaded by banyan trees. When the cool breeze blows in summer, it is therefore called 'Nanfeng Kiln'. The structure and operation method of Gao Kiln is the same as that of Nanfeng Kiln. The name 'Gao Kiln' is because this kiln is built behind the Gao Temple. The kiln owner hopes it can inherit the prosperous incense of Gao Temple, so it is named 'Gao Kiln'. In addition, there are Gao Temple, Lin Family Hall, ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shiwan Ceramic Museum, etc. in the Nanfeng Ancient Kiln Scenic Area, which are worth visiting.
