Chinese site

The Chinese site calls these Yuan-bao. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.211.123 (talk) 13:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Our Chinese site actually calls these yinding. —

Speaking of our Chinese article, it completely contradicts this one. It's under a different name and tells a different story of the origin of the yuanbao name, which it credits to the Yuan dynasty. On the other hand, it's completely unsourced and the Baidu Baike article on yuanbao—while going on about how the shape should be likened to a hoofprint rather than a boat—agrees with our article's origin of the name under the Tang. — $Llywelyn II$ 15:01, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of shape needed

The current version of this article states that sycee can be in the shape of a boat, but it doesn't address the often spherical central part of the ingot, which almost resembles the yolk of an egg. Can we add the significance of the shape of this spherical component of the ingot? Does it represent the "gold essence" or "pure gold," representing the most valuable and refined part of the ingot? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 14:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
