     […] T’un-hsi in Anhwei,⁴² Ch’i-ch’un⁴³ and Chiang-ling⁴⁴ in Hupei, and Kuang-han in Szechwan;⁴⁵ that is, throughout the Yangtze Valley. The glazed pottery from T’un-hsi is so similar to that at Chang-chia-p’o in technique of manufacture and mineral composition that scholars are convinced the Chang-chia-p’o pottery was imported from the south.⁴⁶

     The lei of Pl. 49b, also excavated in Shensi, comes from the same atelier. A yu from T‘un-hsi in Anhui confirms the Western Chou date of the chih in Pl. 38 (Burlington House Catalogue 1973, no. 97).

For instance, a yu found at T'un-hsi, Anhui, (Plate 19) is decorated with intertwining birds both on the belly and lid and exemplifies this conversion.
