In 2009, the pottery under the Changsheng Kiln in Ningdu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province was discovered by villagers digging the foundation before liberation. According to experts' research, it can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty and early Ning Dynasty.

Longyao adopts natural ventilation, using firewood, pine branches and other plants as fuel, and the flame in the kiln flows parallel to the bottom of the kiln. In addition, this kind of kiln is built on the hillside, which has the advantages of large flame extraction, rapid temperature rise, rapid temperature rise and rapid temperature drop. It can burn quickly and maintain the reducing flame of firing celadon. So the Dragon Kiln is the cradle of celadon. Shadow blue and white porcelain and black glazed porcelain are mostly fired in the Dragon Kiln. At the same time, the combustion area is large and the output is high.
