The porcelain was well preserved and neatly stacked, apparently deliberately underground. Among them, the shadow blue scratch flower bowl, the shadow blue scratch flower bowl, the blue glaze lotus petal pattern bowl, the blue glaze Xuan pattern plate bottle and other porcelain shapes are unique, and the glaze color is lustrous and smooth, which is a fine product in porcelain. Flipping through the literature, combined with the shape, pattern, glaze color, and decoration method of this batch of porcelain, experts deduced that this is not a kiln mouth thing, shadow blue scratching flower bowl, shadow celadon plate, etc. have the characteristics of Jingdezhen kiln; some of them are similar to the style of the northern kiln, it may be due to war, the northern kiln was destroyed, and the workers who burned the kiln moved south to Jingdezhen, imitating the firing technology of the kiln, firing shadow celadon porcelain. Therefore, it has the characteristics of Jingdezhen shadow celadon and is similar to the porcelain of dingyao kiln.
In addition, the blue glaze carved Hualien petal porcelain bowl, blue glazed porcelain plate and other porcelain fetal bones are thick, thick and lustrous, with obvious characteristics of Longquan kiln; shrimp blue glaze porcelain cup, yellowing in color, simple shape, speculated to be Yaozhou kiln porcelain.

Why did so much porcelain unearth in Shifang? Cultural relics experts have unraveled this mystery through in-depth and meticulous research through consulting historical materials.
According to the History of the Song Dynasty, Hanzhou Deyang County, Led County, Luo, Shi, Mian, and De. Shifang belonged to Hanzhou and was a wealthy land at that time. Lianglukou (present-day Matsu Town) was located in the northwest of the county seat and was the main traffic route at that time.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the economy of Sichuan was quite developed, and at that time it was known as "Yang Yi Yi Yi Two". To the Southern Song Dynasty, the commodity economy was developed, Shu merchants were very active in the commerce at that time, due to the round-trip trafficking of Shu merchants, porcelain that occupied an important position in commodities would undoubtedly be brought into Sichuan and into Shifang in large quantities.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols invaded the south, and the Sichuan region was one of the main battlefields for the Song army and the Mongol army, and experts speculated that this batch of porcelain may be in the war, the noble landlords did not have time to take it away, in order to preserve this batch of precious porcelain, they dug a cellar and buried it here.
As a fine product of Song porcelain, this batch of porcelain can be so well preserved and precious, providing us with physical materials for studying the social economy and porcelain making process of the Song Dynasty.
