Please help provide the detailed information of Foshan Nanfeng ancient stove! !

Nanfeng stove kiln is located on the hill in the southwest corner of the third daily-use ceramic factory in Shiwan Town, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. The kiln body extends to the south according to the mountain trend and is close to Dongping River. Because the kiln faces south, it is called. Built in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty (1506 ~ 152 1), it has been used for more than 400 years and is still a rare Gulong kiln in China. In ancient times, building kilns was a custom. When the new kiln was put into use, it was said that the first kiln in Li Yong, Shi Lan in the Ming Dynasty was built and settled in, and the first kiln of the stove was lit. Sure enough, the kiln after that was not only very smooth, but also burned "baby" from time to time. It is said that a set of seamless "Eight Immortals" has been burned and praised by the world. Therefore, generations of kiln workers take this auspicious day as their reason. When it was built, in order to avoid the perennial floods, it was located on the high side of the hillside, so it was close to the high temple on the Dongping River, which was beneficial to the construction of kiln. So a high stone ridge was built at the end of the kiln. According to the tradition of ancient kiln building, the kiln surface is mostly arched with mud bricks and needs to be replaced once a year; Moreover, before the Republic of China, all the dragon kilns in Shiwan had no chimneys, but they were moved at the end of the kiln with leather. In addition, the original kiln building only had a sunflower shed to keep out the sun and wind and rain; In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the kiln mouth shifted upward by about 3 meters, so what we see now is the face after continuous transformation and repair in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The structure in the kiln is basically the same, the kiln cavity is like a tunnel, made of small sand bricks, and the top is the voucher roof. The plane inside the kiln is boat-bottom-shaped, with a slightly narrower head and tail and a slightly wider middle part, with a total length of 32.6m, a width of 2-2.4m and a height of1.8-2m, which is also the highest in the middle part of the kiln. The head and tail slopes of the cave are different, with the first section of the cave head being the largest, and the average slope of the whole cave is 12 degrees, that is, the average elevation per meter is 20 cm. There are four kiln doors on the west side, generally 0.7m wide and1.4m high, for each section to enter and exit the kiln. The original kiln door 2 on the east side has been blocked. The top of the kiln is about 0.25m thick, and there are ***34 fire holes (firewood throwing holes) from the kiln head to the kiln tail, with the spacing of 0.85- 1m in each row. Except for the one near the kiln mouth, there are 5 fire holes with the spacing of 0.35-9.4m This kiln belongs to the "big basin of water lane" in ancient ceramics industry. It has always been mainly used for calcining large pots of daily products. A kiln can hold about 360 tons of products, the calcination time is 12 hour, and the kiln firing cycle is 3 to 4 days. In the Qing Dynasty, the kiln was owned by the local town owner Huo Zuji, and it was divided into 60 shares in the early Republic of China. When in use, each of the six kiln positions (one in six rows of fire holes) can occupy one section at a time and turn back ten times, but the kiln positions are reversed in turn. The reason why this kiln has survived the vicissitudes of life is the result of the continuous use and transformation of long kilns in past dynasties. It is of great historical and scientific research value to study the specialized production of pottery industry, the structure of dragon kiln and the evolution of calcination technology in Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the heyday of pottery industry in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were more than 100 dragon kilns in Shiwan. At that time, the development of pottery industry and its huge scale laid a solid foundation for Shiwan to become a southern Tao Dou. Today, most Gulong kilns have been replaced by modern calcination methods, but the south wind furnace stands as high as a big banyan tree on the stones of her kiln body in modern new Tao Dou. As a historical witness of the formation and development of the famous "Shiwan Kiln" at home and abroad, Taodou is a rare and precious historical heritage in southern China, which deserves due attention and protection. 1962 was designated as a municipal cultural relics protection unit, 1990 was promoted to a provincial key cultural relics protection unit, and 200 1 was promoted to a national key cultural relics protection unit.
