Gui is a food container, and its function is equivalent to a big bowl. It is common in pottery, bronze or porcelain. The Neolithic Daxi culture, Liangzhu culture, Tanshishan culture, as well as the sites and tombs of the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties have all been unearthed. The early pottery Gui was generally extravagant, with round belly, round feet and some ears. From the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the shape of the vessel evolved into a closed mouth, a folded edge, a deep belly, a round bottom, and a circle foot, while some were open, rolled, and oblique belly. The original celadon Gui was first seen in the Shang Dynasty. From the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty, the celadon kiln in Zhejiang still fired the porcelain Gui.
