A ceramic vessel of culture, wine, and poetic spirit

Like the finest wines, the best inspiration for poetry is brewed and vivified, if served in the right vessel. In this episode, we present a phoenix-headed tricolor ceramic wine vessel from the Tang Dynasty, some 1200 years ago. In what ways did it influence the development of Chinese poetry at the height of its glory? Special thanks: The Gansu Provincial Museum Liu Zhihua Liu Yanfeng
