Absolutely breath taking. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Thank you also for sharing your knowledge with us - a wonderful way to become acquainted with Chinese history - which is otherwise so extensive as to be a bit overwhelming. Being English, I'm used to a longer period of history & prehistory than folk from the USA. I am forever open mouthed by the advanced Chinese technology & artistic skills multiple centuries before they were acquired at a simple level in the West.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. I'm now applying to be an English volunteer tour guide at the Henan Museum, your video really helps me a lot to learn more about the Museum from a foreigner's perspective. Just one thing, the Museum's outer look is actually designed according to the star observatory from the Yuan dynasty.
To answer your question about large volume alcohol consumption in early times. We did it in England when society was organized in groups of large tribes & immediately prior to the Roman invasion, imported amphorae from Italy. An amphora contained 10 + Litres, so cracking open a bottle or 2 was a big event. We've no writing, but it is surmised that alcohol flowed freely when there were important meetings with neighbouring tribes eg peace treaties, alliances, or big trade deals. Sadly the Chinese bronze dings & drinking vessels, although water tight for large scale production, rapidly leached lead impurities into the wine, at highly toxic levels. (I might give my back teeth to know how such an early society managed to cast such intricate & large objects in bronze. Just holding such a large quantity of molten bronze for pouring stretches my imagination beyond capacity)

The Spring and Autumn Period is not after the Zhou Dynasty it is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After the Zhou Dynasty is the Qin Dynasty.
