Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) arranged a
two-day technical visit to Foshan Coca Cola Plant and Ceramics Museum on 19th
& 20th Jan 2018. These
technical visits would allow us to investigate both the technological and
traditional approaches to production. The
first part is a tour of the Coca Cola Foshan Plant, and second part is a visit
to Foshan Ceramics Museum - Ancient Nanfeng Kiln (南風古灶). I would like to share the day 2
visit. Foshan Ceramics Museum is in the
famous ceramic capital of Shi Wan (石灣). It is the
world’s biggest ceramics museum of human characters. We can appreciate and
inquire about its long history of cultural heritage and workmanship. I took a group photo in front of the Ancient
Nanfeng Kiln (南風古灶)
We started at 9:30am from Hilton Garden

Kiln.
Arrived the Ancient
Nanfeng Kiln, I took a photo with temple as background.

Dr. Aaron Tong (Former Chairman, HKSQ) as tour leader and explained the history of the Ancient NanFeng Kiln. The Ancient Nanfeng Kiln was built in the period of Emperor Zhengde (明代正德) (1506-1521 AD), the Ming Dynasty. Since then its fire has never gone out and it has been unceasingly producing, which is seldom seen. It is the oldest Dragon Kiln (龍窯/龙窑) extant in China with 34.4 metres long and 20 lines of fire holes.
