A ding or ting (鼎 pinyin ding3) is an ancient China|Chinese vessel with three legs; hence, it is also called a tripod. 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 bell (instrument)|zhongs are studied for bronzeware script. The architecture of the Shanghai Museum is designed to resemble a bronze ding. Ding Ware is also a famous type of Chinese ceramic ware. Ding is also a German and Dutch word that is equivalent to "thing" in English.
