Have you ever wondered what ancient people used to drink? This bronze jue (wine vessel) from the Xia Dynasty (c.21st century-16th century BC) was once raised at ancient feasts or used in rituals. With its fragmentary spout, slender waist, single handle, and three pointed legs, it exudes the charm of an ancient civilization. Now, this vessel is preserved in Yuncheng Museum in Shanxi province, a reminder of history and ceremonial that have echoed through millennia.
