Imperial Kiln Waste Control / 御窑落选品控制

Imperial Kiln Waste Control / 御窑落选品控制 is the quality and circulation-control problem in No.213 景德镇往事:千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode says rejected imperial wares were supposed to be pierced, smashed, or buried so palace-only designs and failed products did not enter ordinary markets.

The concept also covers control over scarce materials such as Huiqing cobalt pigment and the difficulty of enforcing official exclusivity inside a dense local production ecosystem. The Tong Bin / 童宾 dragon-jar legend sits near this problem because extreme standards, low yield, and labor pressure could become worker memory and religious narrative.
