The story behind the inverted beauty pot

Xi Shi Hu is a famous ceramic product in ancient China, and there is a touching story behind it.

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to strengthen the relationship with Chu, the monarch of the State of Yue decided to send someone to give gifts to Chu. Mo Zhi thinks that she is rich in domestic products and should have better gifts. So he sent people everywhere to look for precious things.

One day, Jiu heard that there was a beautiful woman named Shi, and the ceramics around her were very precious. Nine Mo Zhi decided to find out. After seeing Shi and her ceramics, he liked them very much and asked her to give them as gifts.

Shi is very clever. She knew that what Mo Zhi wanted for a long time was not these ceramics, but herself. So, he made a condition that he could get these porcelains only if she was willing to marry. My uncle readily agreed, so he married Shi.

It is said that Xi Shi Hu is a witness of this history. It is not only a ceramic, but also a much-told story. Today, Xi Shi Hu has become one of the representatives of China's traditional culture and is deeply loved by collectors and tourists at home and abroad.
