The moon in the glass(杯中月, beizhongyue)

Tableware

It is about an ancient Chinese story about drinking the moon in the wine glass. The moon is a symbol of the missing hometown in China. The most famous expression is the moon in the wine glass. This means that the poet had the moon in wine glass by reflection and imagination. This builds a strong connection between this glass of wine and hometown.
The use of reflection is further directed to transfer from this story, and applied it to more other tableware. This story is no longer limited to wine, wine glass and moon. Different mirrors bring more stories.
A mirror is an everyday object that creates a reflection through reflection. And there are many stories about mirrors. For example, there is another world behind the mirror. My question is how an ordinary everyday object like a mirror can be used in such a way that another everyday object is given special and more meaning but without losing the function of the second object. In other words, it’s still an everyday object. I am trying to find a specific context. In this context, the mirror can be connected and mixed with other everyday products.
