The Imperial Palace in Beijing has frequently launched "Wenqing products" to attract attention. in addition to cosmetics, the turret restaurant in the Forbidden City has been replaced with brand-new take-away coffee cups, a total of nine styles in the whole series, using antiquities patterns and lucky clothes as the design idea. In addition, the popular Morandi color in the extended Jubilee Strategy triggered a wave of clocking in. Some people also shouted to the Imperial Palace that "Quick out Ceramic style" would keep this series of classical wind cups forever.

During the Lunar New year this year, the Palace Museum in Beijing opened the "Imperial Palace Corner Restaurant" outside Shenwu Gate, serving all kinds of light meals during the day and offering the Palace Museum's characteristic hot pot in the evening, combined with the cold weather in winter. Although the hot pot is no longer on sale, the subsequent launch of Wenqing coffee cup entered the hot search list because of its "high appearance".

According to understanding, the Imperial Palace uses antiquities patterns and auspicious clothes as a creative idea to launch high-looking "Wenqing coffee cups" such as Ji Fu Palace Cup, Xuemu Cup, Silk Road Landscape Cup, Golden Land Caiyun Blue Dragon Cup, embroidered Gold Group pattern Dragon Cup, Group pattern Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum Cup, and Stone Youth Group pattern Cloud Dragon Cup, triggering a wave of clocking in.

Among the several Wenqing cups, the most "king's demeanor" is the "Golden Land Caiyun Blue Dragon Cup". The idea comes from the Palace Museum collection "Golden Land Silk Caiyun Blue Dragon skin Robe" in the mid-Qing Dynasty. The golden ground of the emperor's lucky clothes is woven with round gold thread, which forms a sharp contrast with the nine blue dragons, and the pattern is rich all over the ground. The dragon used in the cup pattern is the emperor's exclusive "positive dragon", supreme, like "supreme in the cup".

The pattern of the embroidered gold embroidered dragon cup, which follows the color matching of Morandi in the Yanxi Strategy, is taken from the Palace Museum collection embroidered with lotus root and lotus root yarn embroidered in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Its longevity flower dragon pattern not only represents the king's belief in governing the country, but also shows the love of the Chinese people to the land of China. Holding this coffee cup means that the country is prosperous and the people are safe.

The "group pattern plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum cup" comes from Daoguang auspicious suit "bright red silk painted eight groups of plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum robe". The wide cuffs of Daoguang clothing are the most in the Qing Dynasty, and the brush strokes of this auspicious suit are more unique in their craftsmanship.

"Shiqingtuan Yunlong Cup" is mainly stone cyan, so the nearly black dark blue has become synonymous with orthodoxy since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Gagon clothes and imperial clothes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were often dressed in stone blue. The group pattern is taken from the Qianlong period of the Palace Museum, with Shi Qing as the bottom, and the white dragon with colorful auspicious clouds for nine days, dazzling but not grandiose, holding all the solemn beauty in the hand.

The Silk Road Landscape Cup is an image that shows the Silk Road civilization and connects the cultural treasures of the world. The design is taken from the "Silk Road Landscape Map". After the Spring Festival Gala was first published by Chinese people all over the world in 2018, it is not only a geographical atlas of court painters, but also an art treasure painted with green landscape techniques of the Wumen School.

In addition to the cultural relics as the inspiration for the design of the cup, ▲ also has a snow-white "Shamu Cup". (photo / photo taken from Weibo / Coffee in the Imperial Palace)

After a series of Wenqing coffee cups were launched, they immediately attracted attention, but the body of the cup was still made of paper, and many netizens shouted to the Forbidden City, hoping to launch a "ceramic style" to make the product environmentally friendly.
