Holding into the room cool breeze, brain cold sideburns cold mud pills shock", can be used as a counter-contrast supplement.
At that time, the kiln mouth of the porcelain pillow was all over the north and south of the great river, and the Ding kiln, jun kiln, Cizhou kiln, and Yaozhou kiln were all involved... The shape and decoration of the burned porcelain pillow have made leaps and bounds compared with the previous generation, and the techniques at that time presented great diversity and complexity, including carving, scratching, culling, printing, piling, etc., and the shape system also reproduced from rectangular, eight square, silver ingot shape, waist circle, ruyi shape to the tiger shape, lion shape, lady shape, child shape, etc., representing the pioneer of ceramic firing technology at that time.
The best one is the Dingyao Baby Pillow. The wonder of its form and god can be seen in Qianlong's poems.
According to available literature, at present, there are only about four Dingyao baby pillows in the Northern Song Dynasty, two each from the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Forbidden City in Taipei.

Experts have commented on this kiln white glazed baby pillow:
Ding kiln porcelain is mainly white porcelain, most of them are practical bottles, jars, bowls, etc., and the baby pillow is a rare type of utensil.

Speaking of which, the child's pillow was difficult to find in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty opera writer, bibliophile, and life master Gao Lian once hid in the West Lake, specializing in medical health care, and his "Eight Notes on Zunsheng" can be described as the masterpiece of the ancient literati's health care collection, in which the "Living annole Notes" in the next volume of "Yi Yang Use Tools", there is a "stone pillow", which recorded the grand situation of the child's pillow at that time:
Pillow systems are different, that is, stone pillows, although Song Cibai settled more. There are corpse pillows, also old kilns, which can be one foot long, and they are not even available in ancient tombs. There are special burns for pillows, which can be two feet and five inches long and six or seven inches wide. There are dongqing magnetic brocade flowers, there are those who draw flowers, there are children who hold lotuses and lie down, and those who use flower curls and leaves as pillows. This system is exquisite, all of which are witnessed by the rest, and the south cannot get it for a while.

Then, he wrote in the "Yan Xian Qing Appreciation Note · In "On the Kiln", he showed off that he once had a child's pillow, which was amazing in shape and was also a treasure of the time:
The pillow has a length of three feet, and it can even be made of head. Yu got a pillow, with a doll holding a lotus leaf over the leaf shape, leaning forward and backward, the pillow head is suitable, and the coincidence is not combined.
