Wun Yiu Village () is a village located in Tai Po in Hong Kong. ''Wun Yiu'' means "bowl kiln" in Cantonese. Wun Yiu Village consists of Sheung Wun Yiu and Ha Wun Yiu.〔(Hong Kong Annual Report 1999 )〕 ==History== The area was once a center of porcelain industry in the New Territories. The clans of Man and Tse began manufacturing blue and white porcelain in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). In 1674 (the 13th year of the reign of the Qing dynasty Kangxi Emperor), the Ma Hakka clan, originally from Changle county, Guangdong, settled in Tai Po and purchased the kilns from the Man clan.〔(Remains of Ancient Kilns, Wun Yiu Village )〕 Because of the competition from good-quality and inexpensive porcelain produced by other coastal kilns in Guangdong, the kilns at Wun Yiu finally stopped operating in 1932. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wun Yiu Village」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
