The origin of the word "cup":

1, the word "cup" comes from "Yan", which means hands clasped together. The earliest cups were oval with ears on both sides, also called ear cups. You should drink them with both hands. In Shang and Zhou dynasties, some bronze tassels for drinking had handles, while lacquer ear cups in Han dynasty had ears, which was equivalent to the function of handles.

2. Ear cups can float on the water, but ceramics can't, and bronze can't, so it needs wooden lacquer ware, so the word "cup" comes from "wood". During the Han and Tang dynasties, lacquerware was replaced by porcelain, and porcelain cups were no longer oval, but round. This is because porcelain is painted on a unicycle, and it is more convenient to make it round.
