摘　　要：TODAY,the idea of gazing atone’s reflection in a pot of water when applying cos-metics seems ludicrous.but3,000 years ago there was noalternative.The vessel used tohold“mirror”water was a jian,and the character for it symbol-ized a person looking down into abasin of water.The jian was firstmade of clay,and later of bronze.
