Chayang kiln was established in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, which has a history of more than 800 years. It is a folk kiln with the characteristics of Longquan kiln, Jingdezhen kiln, Jian kiln, Cizhou kiln and Jizhou Kiln and other kilns from inside and outside of Fujian.

茶洋窑创烧于北宋中期，距今已有800多年历史，是集龙泉窑、景德镇窑、建窑、磁州窑和吉州窑等省内外窑系特征于一身的民间窑场。

Up to now, more than 10 ancient Chayang kiln sites have been found, which mainly located in joints of hills such as Daling, Anhou, Wanchang, Sheng Yang, Maping, Luokeng of Taiping town, with a total area of nearly 80,000 square meters, and it is now a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.

截至目前，所发现的茶洋窑古窑址共计10余处，主要位于太平镇的大岭、安后、碗厂、生洋、马坪、罗坑等相连山丘处，总面积近8万平方米，现为省级重点文物保护单位。

According to reports, in the archaeological excavation, collection appreciation or shipwreck data of Japan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia and other countries , Chayang kiln products or the products which are similar to Chayang kiln  products have been found. Especially in Japan's highly respected "Sky Eye in Grey bedding", researchers have not found its origin and kiln for a long time, but the discovery of Chayang kiln cracked the Sino-Japanese ceramic exchange history of this cold case.

据介绍，在日本、韩国、菲律宾、印度尼西亚等国的考古发掘、收藏鉴赏或沉船资料中，均有发现茶洋窑产品或近似茶洋窑的产品。特别是在日本备受推崇的“灰被天目”，长期以来研究者一直未找到其产地和窑口，茶洋窑的发现破解了中日陶瓷交流史上的这桩悬案。
