The tomb of Zhang Sheng excavated in 1959 yielded a large amount of cultural relics, among which over 90 pieces of white chinaware were found. This group of white chinaware are complete in variety, elegant in shape and pure in glaze, representing the high level of accomplishment in white ware production in the Sui Dynasty. The discovery of the Xiangzhou kiln at Anyang and the fine white chinaware Unearthed at tombs of the Sui and Tang Dynasties suggest that Henan was once an important base of producing and consuming white chinaware.
