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.

張大千畫楊妃調鸚圖 Yang Guifei with Parrot by Chang Dai-chien

張大千畫楊妃調鸚圖 Yang Guifei with Parrot by Chang Dai-chien

雪衣丹嘴隴山禽,每受宮闈指教深。
不向人前出凡語,聲聲皆是唸經音。
--《雪衣娘》

“ 天寶中,嶺南獻白鸚鵡,養之宮中。歲久,頗甚聰慧,洞曉言詞,上及貴妃。皆呼為雪衣女。性既馴擾,常縱其飲啄飛鳴,然不離屏幃間。上命以近代詞臣篇詠授之。數遍便可諷誦。上每與嬪妃及諸王博戲,上稍不勝,左右呼雪衣女,必飛局中,鼓翼以亂之。或啄嬪御及諸王手,使不能爭道。”
--唐 胡璩《譚賓錄·雪衣女》
