Fair mug's word "justice" is well known, but it comes from the Book of Rites. The original text is: "the trip to the avenue is for the public." Therefore, the Fair Cup focuses on fairness, justice and objectivity. This coincides with the Confucian doctrine of the mean, especially in dealing with people. Fair cup is generally used in two aspects, one is drinking tea and the other is drinking. The former is mainly to identify the color of tea and make guests feel that they have been treated fairly. The latter is used for drinking, and it is a mug of Gan Long Taibai Drunk Market collected by Ma Weidou.
Ma Weidou's Qianlong Fair Cup is beautifully designed, with Li Taibai in the middle and porcelain tubes inside. Don't underestimate this porcelain tube. The unique landscape that the cup leaks out as soon as it is filled with water depends on this unique setting. According to Ma Weidou, there is a living voice here. Ma Weidou did an experiment with a bottle of mineral water. As the water level gradually rises, the "Taibai" villain inside floats up. Ma Weidou pointed out that drunkenness is a traditional picture.
However, there is a problem with the Fair Cup collected by Ma Weidou. The water is full, but there is no leakage. Ma Weidou emphasized that generally speaking, when the water is full, the water inside will leak out. It didn't leak out because the Fair Cup was damaged. Let's not talk about the value geometry of Ma Weidou's residual Fair Cup. Let's see why fair mug's water leaks out. Ma Weidou explained that when water is full, it will leak out, mainly because of the siphon phenomenon in physics.
As early as the Song Dynasty, Su Shi, a great writer, recorded in the fourth volume of Dongpo Zhi Lin that Sichuan Salt Wells pumped salt water underground. As for the specific details of the principle of siphon phenomenon, we have all learned it in middle school, so I won't go into details here. The ancients played very hard, drinking or drinking tea, just for fun, and could not go beyond that line. Once it is exceeded, it will be unfair and the water will leak out. Through the Fair Cup collected by Ma Weidou, you can see that the ancients really knew how to play.
Ma Weidou's Gan Long Taibai Drunk Expo Cup is a relic, but it also gives us a taste of China's unique wine culture. This also shows us that China people really have a certain humanistic spirit. On the other hand, Chinese people's neglect of wine culture has turned into pure beer and lost the fun of drinking. Of course, we can also feel the ancient science and technology of China through this special cultural relic, which is still quite developed. At least, using the siphon principle is really a move.
However, we should note that China people pay attention to experience, not theory, in science and technology. In other words, I can use this phenomenon to make all kinds of rare objects, but it is very difficult to sort out scientific knowledge and use it at a higher level. China's science and technology in modern times is not as good as that in the west, largely because of this special limitation, which is another heavy topic.
