The Ding, originally a cooking vessel in ancient times, later evolved into a significant symbol of political power for the ruling classes. It was regarded as a treasure of state stabilization and national heritage, representing the hierarchical system of "distinguishing between the noble and the humble, separating the upper and the lower."
Historical records indicate that the emperor possessed nine Ding, while feudal lords held seven, high-ranking officials held five, and lower-ranking officials held three or one. The Ding was the most important ceremonial vessel in ancient China. Emperor Yu of the Xia Dynasty cast the nine Ding, symbolizing the nine provinces. In ancient times, the treasure Ding served as a symbol of state stability and the transmission of national authority. The patterns on the Ding were believed to have the power to ward off evil, and sometimes legal codes were inscribed on the Ding to emphasize the solemnity of the law.
During a change of dynasty, the new reigning monarch's first duty was to cast a Ding and promulgate new laws, symbolizing the beginning of a new era and auspicious new beginnings. Hence, the Ding represents auspiciousness and symbolizes the advent of new opportunities.
