Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系

Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系 is the court-production framework in No.213 景德镇往事:千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode grounds it in the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory / 景德镇御窑厂, where palace standards shaped workshops, materials, vessel forms, pigments, firing, and rejection rules.

The system was official but not isolated. It drew on Distributed Ceramic Production / 分布式瓷业生产, local labor, outsourced work, and the broader Jingdezhen Porcelain Production System / 景德镇瓷业生产系统, while managers such as Tang Ying / 唐英 learned from artisans and turned practice into records and experiments.
