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.

夔龍 Kui Dragon

夔龍 Kui Dragon

“若大荒東經云,有獸狀如牛,蒼身而無角。一足,出入水則必風雨。其光如日月,其聲如雷,名曰夔。黃帝得其皮爲鼓,聲聞五百里。此獸也,非鬼也。”
