Legend has it that once the Qianlong Emperor wrote a poem while drinking: one piece of two pieces of three or four pieces, five pieces of six pieces of seven or eight pieces, nine pieces of ten pieces of ten million pieces, the next sentence Qianlong Emperor did not know how to say, at this time Ji Xiaolan took out the next sentence: Flying into the reed flowers are not seen. The difficulties of Qianlong were solved. At this time, Qianlong said to Ji Xiaolan, there is a reward! He gave Ji Xiaolan a bottle.

Bottle: As the name suggests, the emperor rewards meritorious ministers. This kind of appreciation bottle, painted with tangled branches of lotus, indicates incorruptibility. The emperor rewarded with a bottle of blue flowers and lotus flowers, suggesting that "officials should be clean and honest."
The bottle originally had a name, called "Yutang Spring Bottle". In the past, the emperor passed on the decree: "Enjoy a pair of spring bottles in the Jade Hall." The eunuch at the bottom would say everything in front of the emperor: "Pass on the will, appreciate a pair of jade hall spring bottles." As soon as he turned around, he said, "Enjoy a pair of bottles." To put it simply, the middle was omitted, so gradually, later this bottle was called "Appreciation Bottle", and the original name "Yutang Chun" was not called.
