The luminous effect of luminous cup is probably caused by special manufacturing technology and technical treatment. At the same time, it is also related to the special environment and drinking style. Ancient people often drank in the moonlight at night. The luminous cup is beautifully carved, the wall is as thin as paper, and the transparency is high.

It is likely to be regarded as "luminous" by the ancients. And lift a glass to the sky, the moonlight can penetrate and reflect the moon shadow in the glass. Especially when the wine is warm and the eyes are dim, when the wine glass is shaken by "asking for wine from heaven" or "until I raise my glass and ask for the bright moon", the moon shadow will flash with the wine glass and produce a luminous effect.
