China's wine vessels are numerous, varied and beautiful, which is really the best in the world. According to their materials and uses, they can be divided into the following categories.
(a), according to the wine to distinguish.
In terms of product materials, commonly used wine vessels can be divided into pottery wine vessels, bronze wine vessels, lacquer wine vessels, jade wine vessels, porcelain wine vessels, gold, silver, copper and tin wine vessels, crystal glass wine vessels, animal and plant wine vessels, plastic wine vessels and paper wine vessels.
(2), according to the use of wine.
As far as the use of wine vessels is concerned, they can be roughly divided into three categories, namely, wine containers, wine warmers and drinking vessels.
1 red wine container
In ancient China, wine containers were very elegant, with various names and fancy designs, and there were also strict differences between drinkers. For example, the Zun and Jue in auspicious wine vessels are wine vessels presented to courtiers at ceremonies or by kings. They are regarded as treasures of past dynasties and still retain the value of national treasures. According to incomplete statistics, the name has been confirmed by unearthed cultural relics. Due to the unique shape, the surface is carved with exquisite patterns, which is very artistic. Therefore, the wine sensor is not only used to hold wine, but also an artistic ornament, which can be used for display and appreciation. In modern times, due to the popularity of folk wine supply, the output increased greatly, and the sensors were replaced by barrels, jars and bottles with larger capacity.
2 wine heaters
It is rare in ancient unearthed cultural relics. However, generally speaking, there are two kinds of containers, namely, one and one. These two containers have two purposes, that is, they are both wine warmers and wine containers. Later, the pot in the wine container was used as a wine warmer, but the ancient hip flask was not exactly the same as the modern hip flask. Nowadays, the hip flask is mostly made of porcelain or tin, which is simple in shape and convenient to use. The so-called wine-warming vessels are hot today.
3 drinking water equipment
In ancient times, there were vessels such as Jue, Jiao, Fu, Fu and Fu, and their shapes and techniques were similar to those of wine containers and wine warmers. They also have treasure value, from early pottery products, bronze products, porcelain products, precious jade products and so on. Up to now, ordinary porcelain products such as glass and plastic spoons have been replaced by them, and everything is practical, economical and convenient.
