*''Chinese'': 鼎 ''(dǐng)''
''Dǐng'' are an ancient form of Chinese three-legged container, typically made in [[bronze]], and holding ritual significance.
''Dǐng'' first appear in writings about the most ancient of times, the legendary [[Xia Dynasty]]. According to the ''[[Zuo Zhuan]]'', at some time during the Xia Dynasty (c. 2200-1750 BCE), each of nine provinces produced special bronze vessels as gifts to the ruler. This episode of the nine legendary vessels, known as the [[Nine Bronze Tripods]], or the Nine ''Ding'', continued to be heard of, and spoken of, down through the ages.<ref>K.C.
