They are: in north China, Ting-chou in Chen-ting prefecture [in Hopei], Hua-t’ing district in P’ing-liang prefecture [in Kansu], P’ing-ting in T’ai-yuan prefecture [in Shansi], and Yü-chou in K’ai-feng prefecture [in Honan]; in south China, Te-hua in Ch’üan-chou [in Fukien] (the clay is actually obtained from Yung-ting district, but the kilns are in Te-hua), and Wu-yuan and Ch’i-men in Anhui (white clay produced in other places than these does not stick together when molded into pottery ware, and so is often used as plaster for walls).
