Ding kiln has a profound influence on later generations. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, many porcelain kilns have regarded it as a model for imitation, and some highly skilled imitations even make it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. The Ming and Qing dynasties imitated the white porcelain from the Ding kilns of the Song and Jin dynasties, focusing on the imitation of glaze color and the carving, marking and printing decoration. The model of the porcelain includes not only the imitation products such as child pillows, but also various popular styles at that time, including bowls, plates, washing, boxes, water containers, and other daily utensils, as well as the modeling of the Shang and Zhou bronzes, such as the three-victim statue, the Tianji statue, and the four-legged stove
Although most of the imitations have bright and smooth glaze color, fine and complex decoration, and the workmanship is better than that of Ding Kiln in the Song and Jin Dynasties, the carving patterns are often dull and not smooth, and the printing decoration is not as clear and vivid as that of Ding Kiln porcelain in the Song and Jin Dynasties
