Its origins date back to the mid-Yin dynasty (Zhengzhou period) around the 14th century BC. While much remains unknown about the production of Yue ware (celadon) during the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the late Tang to the Five Dynasties period (9th-10th centuries), Yue ware once again flourished, primarily in northern Zhejiang Province, influenced by the trends of the industrial revolution. Products were exported to Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and even East Africa. Especially during the Five Dynasties period under the rule of the Wuyue kingdom (907-978), exquisite pieces with elaborate designs such as hair-line carving, openwork, and single-knife carving were perfected. These were called "secret color" celadon and were also used as tribute items. This led to the establishment of famous northern celadon kilns in the early Northern Song dynasty (11th century), such as the Ru kiln (Henan Province) and the Yaozhou kiln (Shaanxi Province), which were later praised as masterpieces of celadon. In the late Southern Song dynasty (13th century), the Longquan kiln (Zhejiang Province), a branch kiln of the Yuezhou kiln, was inspired by the Southern Song imperial kiln and produced Kinuta celadon with magnificent glaze colors, a large quantity of which was exported to Japan and has been passed down.
