Kilns and ceramic workshops became widespread in Jingdezhen in the Song Dynasty. Up to now, over 136 kiln sites have been discovered, including Hutian, Yangmeiting, Baihuwan, Yingtian, Jinkeng, Nanshi Street, Liujiawan and the old downtown area of Jingdezhen. These sites are renowned for their scale and exquisite wares. Bluish white porcelain wares made in these kilns are various in forms, white and thin in body, littering andtranslucent in glaze and vivid in decorative design, which represent the supreme technological lev- el of porcelain making in the Song Dynasty. Hence Jingdezhen kiln becomes the best representative of bluish white porcelain kins in the Song Dynasty. D- uring the Jingde Reign of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhen Zong named Changnan town after his reign, which reflected that the Song Dynasty govern- ment attached great importance to Jingdezhen's ceramic industry.

宋代，景德镇“村村窑火，处处陶埏”，目前已发现的窑址达 136余处，其中，湖田、杨梅亭、白虎湾、盈田、进坑、南市街、 柳家湾及老城区等地规模最大、产品最精美。这些窑场烧制的青白 瓷造型多样，胎白体薄，釉色晶莹剔透，刻、印花纹活泼秀丽，反 映了我国宋代最高制瓷工艺水平，因而景德镇成为中国宋代青白瓷 窑系中的杰出代表。景德年时，真宗帝以其年号改昌南镇为景德镇， 可见宋王朝对景德镇制瓷业的高度重视。
