The porcelain industry in Dehua has a large scale and wide distribution in the past dynasties. It is truly spectacular. From densely populated city gates to remote mountain villages, from fields to mountains and dense forests, ancient porcelain pieces and porcelain can often be found. The ruins of the ancient porcelain kiln, the white porcelain pieces with bright flowers, are like stars scattered in the world, like pieces of white jade inlaid on the earth, embellishment of the verdant and green mountains and countryside even more beautiful. There are 238 kiln sites discovered in the county from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China. Ancient kiln sites are distributed in 18 towns and villages in the county.
Among them, the "Qudou Palace Dehua Kiln Site" (including Xunzhong, Longxun, Sanban, and Gaide, four kiln sites from the Song to the Ming Dynasties) was promulgated by the State Council in 1988 as the third batch of National key cultural relics protection unit. Dehua began to produce and use ceramics as early as the late Neolithic primitive society. By the late Tang Dynasty, the porcelain industry in Sanban and Sibin areas of Dehua had begun to develop. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, ceramic monographs "Ceramic Method" and "Pictures of Meiling" appeared.
