The poem “Poetry · Elegance” by Sikong Tu of the Tang Dynasty has the sentence “buy spring in a jade pot, enjoy the Yumao house; the lady in the seat, repair bamboo on the left and right”. Since the Tang Dynasty, people have replaced wine with the word “spring”. The jade pot spring bottle was shaped in the Song Dynasty, and then gradually changed to a display. It is a typical utensil in the shape of Chinese porcelain.
