Imperial Kiln Gold Bricks:
Imperial Kiln Gold Bricks are treasures in the traditional kiln brick firing industry of the Han Chinese people. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they have been favored by emperors of all dynasties and have become a special product for palace buildings. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing and built a large-scale construction of the Forbidden City. With the recommendation of the craftsmen in Xiangshan Gang in Suzhou, Lu Mu brick kiln was noticed by the Ministry of Industry and decided to "start bricks in Suzhou and be responsible for serving 63 kiln households in Changzhou". Due to its excellent quality, it won the praise of Emperor Yongle and named the kiln "Imperial Kiln".
The so-called "gold brick" is actually the elegant name for large bricks with specifications of two feet, two feet, and seven feet square. The ancient book "Golden Bricks" has the following explanation: "The fine square bricks specially made for the imperial palace have delicate particles and dense textures. They are called "Golden Bricks".
Golden Bricks Museum displays the process and production process of gold bricks.
