It is a common pattern of Ding Kiln. In 2009, when Ding Kiln was excavated, Yun found relics in the late Northern Song Dynasty, including “Qiao Wei” porcelain pieces, as well as similar pieces of Jian chi pattern. In the Collection of Treasures of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is said: “It would be better if there were dragon tigers on the bottom of the objects.”.
