These names by no means exhaust the list of factories which were active in the Yüan period. Others have been incidentally mentioned elsewhere under the headings of Yüan-tz´ŭ, P´êng ware, Hsin Ting ware, etc.[373] The _Ko ku yao lun_ enumerates certain pottery forms which, it asserts, were not in use before the Yüan period. As usual, the Chinese descriptions are exceedingly difficult to visualise, and in many cases are open to several interpretations, and are not easy to reconcile with established facts. However, I quote the passage as it stands: "Men of old when they drank tea used _p'ieh_[374] (? bowls with curved sides), which were easy to drain and did not retain the sediment. For drinking wine they used cups (_chan_); they had not yet tried cups with handles (_pa chan_[375]), and in old times they had no _ch'üan p'an_.[376] The Ting ware _ch'üan p'an_ which one sees nowadays are the brush washers (_hsi_) of olden times. The men of old used 'decoction vases' for pouring wine, and did not use ewers (_hu p'ing_) or bowls with contracted lip or tea cups (_ch'a chung_) or dishes with rims.[377] These were all forms used by the Mongols. The men of China only began to use them in the Yüan dynasty. They never appear in old Ting or Kuan wares."[378] FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 340: See p. 164.] [Footnote 341: The Memoirs of Chiang Ch´i, entitled _T´ao chi lüo_, which were incorporated in the Annals of Fou-liang in 1322, and again in the geographical annals of the province of Kiangsi (_Chiang hsi t´ung chih_, bk. xciii., fol. 5 verso).] [Footnote 342: Op. cit., pp. 178-183.] [Footnote 343: See p. 163.] [Footnote 344: _huang hei_, lit. yellow black or, perhaps, yellow and black.] [Footnote 345: _Ch´ing pai_, a term also applied to greenish white jade; probably a pale celadon tint.] [Footnote 346: i.e. cases in which the porcelain was fired.] [Footnote 347: [Chinese] _yin hua_, [Chinese] _hua hua_, and [Chinese] _tiao hua_.] [Footnote 348: The text is [Chinese] _fa yün_, lit.
