Ding or Ting

A Ding or Ting ( pinyin ding3) is an ancient Chinese vessel with three legs; hence, it is also called a tripod. It is also a common last name used in China (pinyin ding1)

Dings can be made of ceramic or bronze in various shapes. Smaller ones are believed to be cooking utensils, while larger versions are believed to be sacrificial or commemorative vessels. The older dings are dated back to Shang Dynasty. In China, ding is a symbol of dynasty. Inscriptions on dings and zhongs are studied for bronzeware script.
