May examine merchandize, but cannot photograph. Enters each workshop, masters like this warned that visitor, the reason is, oneself just developed the new product, was worried that is imitated by the human, but, nine dynasties did not fear, they like propagandizing, some workshop hosts think.
They said nine dynasties, are this village most famous cultural relic replica factory – nine manufacture the limited company toward Tang dynasty tricolored glazed pottery, Gao Shuiwang is the general manager in this company.
Nine dynasties are situated in the villages and small towns path terminus, this is one occupies a land area of approximately 7 Chinese acres big courtyards, each kind of Tang dynasty tricolored glazed pottery half-finished product and second quality item are placing in the courtyard.
The kiln opposite is the spacious workshop, according to the glazing, models the shape and stamp these three different processes to be divided into 3 workshops.
In the workshop, makes the mold, the stirring porcelain clay and Bai Tai to enamel, all workers are bustling about, their side everywhere is the half-finished product ceramic horse and potter, the workshop looks like one to include Tang Shiqi cultural relic museum.

The first time is so-called unglazed pottery, burns Bai Tai who does not enamel, after the glazing, second is called baking with glaze.
