葡萄美酒夜光杯，欲饮琵琶马上催。 醉卧沙场君莫笑，古来征战几人回。

It began with Wang Han's 'Liangzhou Ci'. Grapes of the Hexi Corridor, jade of Qilian, bricks of Jiayuguan — all sealed in one cup.

### The Night-Light Cup · Notes

- Over 2,000 years of history — Dongfang Shuo records the Western Regions offering an Ever-Full Night-Light Cup to King Mu of Zhou.
- Qilian ink-jade, worked by hand through 38 steps; walls thin as eggshell — unbroken by hot wine or winter cold.
- Founded in 1956 by twelve master carvers; listed as a national intangible heritage in 2006.

## Three Promises

Qilian snowmelt and day-night temperature swings. Grapes of the Hexi Corridor nurture a thousand-year flavor.

Jiuquan's night-light cup carving is a national intangible heritage. In collaboration with master Huang Yuesu, cup by cup, by hand.

### Memory of the Silk Road

Dunhuang murals, Jiayuguan bricks. Bringing a thousand years of story to the modern table.
