Also known as
Ding Yanyong, TING Yan-Yong, 丁衍庸, 丁衍镛
Yanyong Ding (1902–1978), also catalogued as Ding Yanyong and TING Yan-Yong, was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and art educator from Maoming, Guangdong. Chinese-language biographical material records the original name 丁衍镛, the later name 丁鴻, and several courtesy or art names. It also identifies him as one of the founders of the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The collected evidence therefore places him within twentieth-century Chinese and Hong Kong art and education, although it does not provide enough institution-grade detail to assign a formal movement. Collectors may encounter his works under multiple Romanized and Chinese name forms, especially in auction catalogues and authority records. Identity matching should use those variants together with his life dates rather than transliteration alone. The available source pack supports painting and calligraphy as his principal documented practices.

Common works and media
The supplied biographical evidence documents painting and calligraphy as Yanyong Ding's principal practices. Those are the best-supported work types for identity matching and auction research in this source pack. No supported conclusion can be made here about recurring subjects, named series, editions, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or print production.
Market and appraisal context
Public auction records can help establish context for works attributed to Yanyong Ding, but the collected source pack does not contain inspectable lot-level results. An appraisal should first reconcile the artist's Chinese and Romanized name forms, then evaluate the object's medium, attribution, date, dimensions, condition, inscriptions or seals, and provenance. When dependable records are available, comparison should focus on genuinely similar works and account for sale date, auction house, cataloguing language, and realized price. The available evidence supports paintings and calligraphy as relevant categories, but it does not justify a price forecast, market trend, or claim that two works are equivalent. Object-specific examination remains essential.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
- Calligraphy
Value drivers
- Artist identity and attribution across documented Chinese and Romanized name forms
- Work type, particularly whether an object is a painting or a work of calligraphy
- Comparable public auction records and realized prices, when verifiable records are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not expose individual auction lots, estimates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or edition information.
- The Appraisily artist-page request was rate limited during collection, so no price trend, market ranking, or lot-level conclusion is supported here.
- A reliable appraisal still requires object-specific examination and independently verified attribution, condition, dimensions, date, provenance, and comparable sales.
