A poem on the cup: A cowherd points to a cot 'mid apricot flowers. This poem is from "All Souls’ Day" -  Du Mu, (803–852)

At moonset cry the crows, streaking the frosty sky

Dimly lit fishing boats beneath maples sadly lie

Beyond the city walls, from temple of cold hill

Bells break the ship-borne roamer's dream and midnight still.

(translated by Xu Yuanchong)

清明

杜牧

清明時節雨紛紛，

路上行人欲斷魂。

借問酒家何處有，

牧童遙指杏花村
