Nanfeng Kiln, with its mouth facing south and its tail shaded by the branches and leaves of banyan trees, is called "Nanfeng Kiln" because of the gentle breeze blowing in summer. The dragon kiln next to it is called "Gaozao". The kiln owner built it behind the high temple, implying the inheritance of the prosperity of the high temple and carrying its flourishing fire. It is the oldest wood-fired dragon kiln in the world that is still in use. The kiln is built against the mountain, like a giant dragon descending from the sky, so the local residents call it "Dragon Kiln". And because the place where the kiln head burns wood is as important as the stove head where the old family burns wood for cooking, the residents of Shiwan call the dragon kiln "stove".
