& white porcelain since the Yuan Dynasty.However, during the Northern Song Dynasty,it began producing white porcelain to rival the Ding kiln.
Unlike the ivory-white of Ding ware,
this porcelain has a distinct bluish tint.
The beautiful blue that pools in the glaze has long fascinated people,and
since the 20th century,
it has been known as "Yingqing"
(Shadow Blue).
