The inscriptions on each cup contain poetic lines extracted from the poem entitled Chun Ye Yan Tao Li Yuan Xu by the famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai (AD 701-762), which relates the story of Li Bai and his friends gathering for a feast in a garden one night during springtime, drinking wine and composing poetry. Through this, he expresses his passion for life and laments the quick passing of time.
