In the Tang Dynasty, Xing Kiln was a famous porcelain kiln in the north, mainly firing white porcelain, and also firing yellow glaze, black glaze, and tricolor varieties. Its products are not only for domestic use, but also exported to all parts of the world. The site of Xing Kiln is located in Xingzhou, Hebei Province in the Tang Dynasty. The central kiln is located in the area of Chengguan, Neiqiu County, Hebei Province. From the investigation of the kiln site and the specimens unearthed from the excavation, the white porcelain of the Xing kiln in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into fine and coarse to meet the needs of people of different classes. As Li Zhao of the Tang Dynasty said in his “State Supplement History”, “The white porcelain Ou in Neiqiu and the purple stone inkstone in Duanxi are universal in the world.”
