The production center had been moved from Shangyu to Shanglinhu Region where Yuyao and Cixi bordered. The porcelain wares of Yue kilns were green in glaze and the famous poet Lu Guimeng wrote the poem The Olive Green Yue Porcelains to praise the sense of beauty the porcelains brought. After compared the Yue porcelains with the northern Xing Porcelains by Lu Yu, he wrote down three advantages of Yue porcelains in His work Scripture of Tea in that the they were more like the color of jade and ice and what's more, the tea leaves would look more fresh against the green glaze of Yue porcelains. The porcelains of Tang Dynasty emphasized on the beautiful designs, for example, the shapes of bowls could be made like lotus leaves, Chinese flowering crabapples and sunflower petals. The handled-pots were the important kind of the Yue Kiln products of the late Tang Dynasty. They looked dignified and stout. The most puff boxes then were of sunken bottom inside and raised top, with lightly embossed decorative patterns and smooth glaze. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Yue kilns reached its second peak of the productions. They caught up with the vogue of the time and produced many works full of natural and graceful artistic temperament. The Celadon Round Jar With Tortuous Dragon was a product of typical Tang flavor, which was decorated with a vivid tortuous dragon and plump in shape. The Eight-arrised Matrass was shinning with the green glaze and was simple but dignified in shape. The Bowl of Chinese Flowering Crabapple Shape was like a blossoming crabapple when one looked out upon it; it was smooth in glaze, soft in color, big but shapely in shape which reflected the lofty producing level of the craftsman in Tang Dynasty. The techniques of gold and silver production were highly developed. The Topped Silver Jar excavated from some tomb of Lin'an was a masterwork of Tang Dynasty. It was covered with gold-plating, decorated with clouds, lotus leaves, pair dragons, pair lions and party scene patterns. The Mirror With Mysterious Marine Beasts and Grapes was another featured craftwork of Tang Dynasty.
