Dunhuang Luminous Cup, also known as Yangguan Jade Cup. It is made of high-quality ink jade, topaz and jasper produced in Qilian Mountain, inheriting traditional craftsmanship and craftsmanship, and is a very valuable drinking vessel.
According to the Western Han Dynasty Dongfang Shuo's "Records of the Ten Continents of The Sea", the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty (about 1066 BC - 771 BC) Ji Man was invited by the Western Queen Mother to the Yaochi Grand Gathering, during which the Western Queen Mother gave Ji Man a sparkling wine cup, known as "the night light is always full of cups". Ji Man was as precious as he was, and he loved it, and since then the Luminous Cup has been famous for eternity.
Luminous cup shape is unique, unique style, smooth texture, a touch, colorful, like emerald, poured into fine wine, the wine color is crystal clear. In particular, the moon reflects, and the clear jade liquid shines through the walls of the cup as thin as eggshells. Tang Dynasty Wang Han Shiyun, "Grape Wine Luminous Cup", poetry is famous for the cup, and the cup is glorified by poetry.
The luminous cups produced in Dunhuang have emerald green, goose yellow, mutton fat white, etc., the luster is unchanged for a long time, the shape is rich and colorful, and the reputation is the highest.
The luminous cup does not glow, just because those who are on the long Silk Road ancient road, when they arrive in Dunhuang, it means that they are about to leave the customs, and they are getting farther and farther away from their hometown and relatives, and further west is the Xicheng area, where the customs and customs are even stranger.
At the end of the night, homesickness arises, and I remember the happy times with my relatives. At this time, a glass of wine produced on the Silk Road is poured with a dark green luminous cup, and the sparkling in the glass adds to the homesickness and sadness. Maybe the luminous cup got its name from it.
Luminous cups are the main arts and crafts in the Dunhuang tourism market today. Although this jade does not have a gorgeous appearance, it shows its sense of ancient clumsiness because of its black and green hue, making people more aware of the sense of history emitted by its body.
