[Explanation] A thousand years ago, the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han wrote a poem "The grape luminous wine luminous cup, who wants to drink the pipa and urge it immediately", which has passed on the luminous cup to the present day, and the traditional production technology has also continued.
Recently, the reporter visited the luminous glass pavilion in Jiuquan, Gansu. The luminous glass carving technique inherits human rights. Yu Ting told reporters that the luminous glass of Jiuquan is unique in shape, smooth in texture, and extremely thin. The wine is poured into it, and the wine is crystal clear. Quan Yuting explained that jade itself does not emit light, and there are not many people who have misunderstood it because of the name "Luminous".

Under the moonlight, the ancient literati Mo Ke, he likes to drink and make poetry under the moonlight. When pouring wine into the cup, the moonlight reflects into the cup. After the light is refracted, the cup body is very transparent and shiny. The first grape wine wine glass, this poem was born.
[Explanation] From selecting materials, sizing, cutting, grinding and polishing, to making a finished luminous cup, at least more than 30 procedures are required. Quan Yuting, who had been an apprentice for only three years before being a teacher, was very strict with the craftsmanship. He told reporters that the traditional raw material Qilian jade of the Jiuquan luminous cup is irreplaceable by other materials. At present, most of the stones used for cups are mandarin ducks in Wushan County, Tianshui Jade. Coupled with the protection of the Qilian Mountains, development is basically prohibited, and the output has dropped significantly. Therefore, deepening the refinement and improving the added value of the luminous cup is what they pay more attention to.
For the selection of the quality of the luminous cup, on the one hand, it is an eye view, seeing how light it is under the light, on the other hand, it depends on the feel, whether it is smooth and neat.

The quality of the process does not lie in the thickness of the cup. The thickness of the cup can only determine its light transmittance, and it cannot be too thin. The first is that it is fragile, and the second is that after it is made thin, its color is basically It becomes white on the top, and its thickness is about one to two millimeters. This dark green color appears.
[Explanation] In order to polish a more elaborate antique luminous cup, Quan Yuting, on the basis of inheriting the traditional craftsmanship, made appropriate adjustments to its structural proportion and made more elaborate to highlight the practicality and artistry of the luminous cup. In addition, it also combined with Dunhuang frescoes to provide prototypes of utensils on the table, adding regional characteristics and cultural elements, plans to produce a batch of more representative luminous cup products.
