Coloured glaze is one of the "seven treasures" of Buddhism, and it is a spiritual thing to eliminate disasters and avoid evil spirits.
In ancient China, the raw materials for making colored glasses were obtained from the by-products produced in the bronze casting process, and were refined to make colored glasses. Glass has many colors, and the ancients also called it "five-color stone". In ancient times, because it was difficult for people to get it, people even thought that glass was more precious than jade.
Historical sources:
Legend has it that the coloured glaze was discovered by Fan Li when he supervised the production of The Legend of the King of Chu, so he gave it to Yue Wang, who thanked him for his sword-casting, and the original was returned. And named it "Li".
Later, the sculptor was asked to carve it into a beautiful work of art, as a token of love to the stone. Later, when Yue was defeated, she was forced to go to Wu to kiss her. Before he left, he gave Li back, and at the same time, tears flowed on the paper, so people began to name it "Liuli".
