鳴鶴在陰,其子和之。
我有好爵,吾與爾靡之。

--易經 風澤中孚

A crane is singing in the shade, with her chicks in chorus.
And I have an awesome Jue, which we can relish with.
--Classic of Changes

A jue (Chinese: 爵) is a bronze tripod goblet or beaker used to serve or warm wine.
It was used for ceremonial purposes by the Chinese of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties.

成王與唐叔虞燕居,援梧葉以為珪,而授唐叔虞曰:『余以此封汝。』叔虞喜,以告周公。周公以請曰:『天子其封虞邪?』成王曰:『余一人與虞戲也。』周公對曰:『臣聞之,天子無戲言。天子言,則史書之,工誦之,士稱之。』於是遂封叔虞于晉。周公旦可謂善說矣,一稱而令成王益重言,明愛弟之義,有輔王室之固。
