Chinese wine sets Ⅲ: Bronze wine vessels of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties

The people of Shang are famous for their drinking habit in Chinese history. It’s recorded that King Zhou in the Shang Dynasty once sought pleasure day and night from a sumptuous life of wine and meat, which led to the collapse of his dynasty. Judging from the cultural relics excavated, Shang boasts more wine vessels than any other dynasty in the Chinese history. The vessels amount to over ten types, such as the You, Jue, Gu and Zun, which can be a proof to the widespread drinking manner during the time.
