Scholarly contibution by Prof. Mori Tatsuya, the essay “The Chronology of Yaozhou Celadon Wares of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty” is presented in three languages. Catalogue entries of 92 examples of masterpieces of Yaozhou wares with analysis are illustrated with similar speciments.“Among all the kilns of that era, Yaozhou Kiln alone earned the imperial court’s distinguished title of ‘Kiln God’, a fact recorded on the ‘Marquis Deying Stele.’ Its hallmark of being ‘as ingenious as cast bronze, as pure as polished jade’ has fueled a decades-long journey of collection and research.” — Song Tao, Collector’s Foreword “ The Shang Shan Tang Collection is one of the few private collections in China focused on Yaozhou ceramic wares. With over one hundred pieces of Yaozhou wares, it is perhaps at present the largest private collection of its type. Its holdings are not only greatly varied in type, but also of high quality. There are specimens with both classic and extremely rare forms.” — Prof. Liu Hui
