Gray bricks and tiles are important materials of traditional buildings in China. However, the production process of bricks and tiles uses a large amount of clay resources from cultivated land, consumes a large amount of energy such as coal, and at the same time causes a great load to the environment. Therefore, the production process of traditional gray bricks and tiles is facing the risk of loss. This study investigates the traditional brick and tile manufacturers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and records the manufacturing techniques of traditional brick and tile blanks in detail, providing detailed records for the protection and repair of the architectural heritage.
