What containers were used for drinking in ancient China?

First of all, we must make clear what kind of grapes grapes are. In ancient China, there were wild grapes, which had been picked and eaten. This wild grape can be traced back to Shang Dynasty. At this time, if you are an emperor or a royal aristocrat, you should use bronze ware. Zun, pot, welcome, cup and dish are all bronze drinking vessels. Ordinary poor people are different. Bronzes were heavy metals and strategic materials at that time. Ordinary people can't afford it, so they usually drink with pottery. The same is true in the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were frequent wars. I'm afraid no one in the palace can drink except the emperor and nobles.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and brought back grapes in a broad sense. The grapes referred to now originated in Europe and are imported fruits. This should be the bar you mentioned. In the early Han dynasty, there was no further development in metals, and bronzes were still the mainstay, and pottery was still the main body of the people. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the development of metal smelting, the output of bronze increased, and people had wine vessels that could use bronze. At this time, most wine vessels are mainly for welcoming guests and drinking, and this idiom is intertwined. However, there is no difference between the Three Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

? In the Song Dynasty, the development of porcelain reached a certain height, and ceramics, a cheap, white and light material, was loved by emperors and ordinary people, so ceramics became a favorite wine vessel at that time. This state continued until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when ceramics reached its peak. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the import of glass and the constant communication with foreigners, wine vessels tended to be the same as foreign countries and evolved into the present state.
