The legendary jade cup "a handful of snow" mentioned many times in "Dream of Red Mansions" finally revealed the truth. .

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty" and "Zhang Hanru's Manuscript", "a handful of snow" was the famous jade cup of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the ruling party of the jade cup wanted to take the jade cup as its own. The owner of the jade cup, Mo Huai, abandoned the official name and retired to his hometown. "One holding snow" Missed during the Jiajing years. According to the "Xinye County" detailed: during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Taipusi Qing Mo Huaigu had promoted Yu Tangqin in the dust, and recommended it to Yan Shifan at that time.

Tang Qinmou accounted for the fascination of Mo Huai's ancient snow, and Yan Yan Shi Fan asked Mo Jia for his family's ancient jade cup "a handful of snow." Mo Huaigu dedicated to Yan Shifan with counterfeit goods. After Yan Shifan got the ancient jade cup, I didn't know if it was a fake. I was very happy, and it was too common to raise Mo Huaigu. However, Tang Qin recognized the true and false of the cup and told the truth to Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan was very angry and ordered people to go to Mofu to search for the real cup. Mofu servant Mo Cheng hid the real cup and the cup was not searched. Mo Huaigu was afraid to be forced to cross the Gu Yu Cup by Yan Shifan, so he abandoned the official and fled. However, Yan Shifan was rushing to the top and bombing Mo Huaigu and sent people to chase him. He won Mo Huaigu in Zhangzhou and ordered the captain of the state, Qi Jiguang, to be decapitated. Qi Jiguang wants to save Mo Huai, but there is no way. Mo Fu’s servant Mo Cheng is willing to give up his life as a savior. Mo Huaigu has the opportunity to flee to Gubeikou. After Ji Chengguang took Mo Cheng’s head, he sent the head to the capital, but he was seen by Tang Qin. Jin Yiwei Lu Bing was in charge of the investigation and arrested Qi Jiguang. Yan Shifan ordered Tang Qin to review, Lu Bing wanted to be true, Tang Qin insisted on being false; Lu Yu Xue Yan hinted that seeing the soup is in the snow, and thinking about the dispelling of the light, but helplessly cut off the snow and Tang Qin, Tang Nai Research. In the cave room, Xue Yan stabbed the soup, and he avenged himself after revenge. In order to keep the jade cup "a handful of snow", Mo Huaigu did not hesitate to lose his official position and abandon his family. He went to the Central Plains after several times and changed his name to Li, and settled in hiding.

During the meeting, Li Zhanyuan, a 70-year-old villager from Dayi Town, Yanzi Town, came to the annual meeting with a wooden box wrapped in red cloth and presented the legendary jade cup to everyone. Viewed from the outside, "a handful of snow" is a white jade cup, slightly translucent green, jade crystal, caliber 7 cm, depth 2.5 cm, cup wall thickness 0.2 cm. There are five plum blossoms in the cup, which is like a plum blossom. The center of the cup has a flower core, and the outside of the cup is wrapped around the plum branch. There are 17 plum blossoms of different sizes on the branch, which are naturally connected with the cup body. The jade cup takes the meaning of "Lamei proud snow". The wine is in the jade cup, which is refracted by light, and the jade cup is light and clean, giving the impression of ice like snow. Because the main body of the jade cup is white, and the plum blossom is carved on it, the jade cup is named as "a handful of snow." In 1978, through the appraisal of the Palace Museum, this "one holding snow" is the Ming Dynasty craft, the jade material is the famous Xinjiang Hetian jade, which is a national second-class cultural relic.
