In March 2021, during spring plowing, villagers from Hanzhang Village in Mengzhou City discovered a Tang Dynasty tomb to the north of the village. Prompted by this discovery, the Jiaozuo Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted a salvage excavation. The tomb yielded 25 burial artifacts, including celadon, celadon-white, and white glazed porcelain figurines, as well as grey pottery and bronze items. The unearthed porcelain figurines exhibit lustrous glazes, exquisite craftsmanship, lifelike forms,and smooth lines, representing fine examples of Henan celadon and white porcelain. These artifacts provide valuable material evidence for studying the firing history of white porcelain in Henan, the evolution of pottery figurines, and the chronology of tombs and funeral customs in Tang Dynasty Jiaozuo. Through comparative analysis, it is believed that this batch of porcelain items is likely from the Baihe Kiln in Gongyi, located south of the Yellow River in Henan.
