Cui Bao of the Jin Dynasty wrote “Notes on Ancient and Modern Times”, which said: “Mandarin ducks, waterfowl, and ducks. Men and women are not separated. If they get one, they will think twice and die, so they are called elegant birds.” The mandarin ducks in porcelain decoration appear in pairs, and most of them match the lotus pond. They are commonly known as the mandarin ducks playing with the lotus pattern, the mandarin ducks lying on the lotus pattern, and the mandarin duck pattern in the lotus pond. During the Song and Jin Dynasties, bowls, plates, pillows and other utensils fired by Ding, Jingdezhen, Yaozhou and Cizhou kilns were decorated with mandarin ducks
