"Ding green" refers to the green-glazed ceramics produced by Ding kilns. While Ding kilns were primarily known for their white porcelain, they also produced green-glazed items. An example of this is the green-glazed 'Ding' pillow with a carved lotus pond design found in Dingzhou, Hebei Province, which was entirely covered in green glaze. This artifact indicates that by the Song Dynasty, green glaze was no longer used solely for burial items but had been incorporated into everyday life. Apart from Ding kilns, Cizhou kilns also produced a large number of green-glazed works. According to research, the green-glazed works from the Cizhou kilns can be categorized into two types. One type features patterns carved onto the green-glazed products, and the other has a green-glaze base with black color applied over it. The green-glazed products produced by the Cizhou kilns were colloquially known as "Cizhou green" by the public.
