Printing decoration is one of the most representative and expressive decoration techniques for Ding white porcelain. This craft matured in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, and became more popular in the Jin Dynasty. The method is to buckle the semi-dry green body on the mold with patterns, beat it with hands to make the patterns printed on the utensils, and then apply the glaze into the kiln to burn. Although the printing technique has been seen on pottery as early as the Neolithic Age, its pattern is made by repeatedly shooting and printing a small mold, while Dingyao porcelain uses a whole mold to shoot and print the pattern at one time, which is easy to operate and easy to produce in batches
