This paper reviews the archaeological findings and research of ceramic kilns, tombs and other sites in Yunnan since the middle period of the 8th century, illustrating that though a number of pottery relics have been found of the Nanzhao and Dali dynasties in Yunnan, the feature of Yunnan’s pottery handicraft industry is still unclear during this period. Porcelains in Yunnan had been produced during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, but studies on the regional and phased stages of Yunnan ceramics, as well as the exact appearance time and development of Yunnan blue-and-white porcelain are still to be completed. Meanwhile, the uncomprehensive of materials obtained from kiln site investigation, and the deficient publications of burial materials have restricted the progress of research. There are long standings of misconceptions in the dating of blue and white porcelains. Researches on the unearthed burial ceramics productive process, its technique origin and historical background have not been given sufficient attention to. The excavation of Jianshui Kiln site in 2020 is an initiative and comprehensive research carried out in cooperation with archaeological institutions and universities, which is expected to push the research of Yunnan ceramic industry into a new stage.
