What was the name of the ancient drinking cup?

In ancient times, drinking cups included cups, cups, horns, cups, boats, bottles, cups and cups. But in some dynasties, the commonly used drinking utensils were slightly different. In the Shang Dynasty, due to the development of wine-making industry and the improvement of bronze ware making technology, China's wine vessels reached unprecedented prosperity. People of different identities began to use different drinking utensils. In the Book of Rites, it is clearly stipulated that "when offering sacrifices to ancestral temples, the honorable person raises the bow and the humble person raises the horn". During this period, people in the upper class used drinking utensils, while people in the lower class could only use horns.

In ancient times, bowls and cups were main drinking utensils. In ancient times, wine was unfiltered mash, mushy and semi-liquid. For this wine, it is not suitable for drinking, but for eating.

Therefore, the edible wine vessels should be general vessels, such as bowls, bowls and other large-mouthed vessels, and the materials for making wine vessels are mainly pottery, horns, bamboo and wood products, etc. In the late Neolithic period, especially in the Longshan culture period, wine vessels were divided into cans, urns, altars, bowls and cups, which were used as containers for holding wine and bowls and cups as drinking utensils.

Take wine glasses as an example. There are many kinds of wine glasses, including flat-bottomed cups, round-footed cups, high-rounded-footed cups, high-handle cups, inclined-wall cups, bent-belly cups and special-shaped cups.
