During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of Western glassware was imported into China, and the technology of glass blowing was also introduced.
Due to the innovative changes in composition and technology, the glass container at this time is larger, the wall is thinner, and transparent and smooth. Convex glass lenses were also unearthed from the clan tombs of Cao Cao in Bo County, Anhui Province; glass bottles were unearthed from the tower base of the Pagoda of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Dingxian County, Hebei; and a lot of ground glass cups were also unearthed from the Tomb of Xiangshan, Shandong, Nanjing, Jiangsu.
The most exciting is the glassware unearthed from the tomb of Sui Li Jingxun in Xi'an, Shaanxi. There are 8 pieces of glassware, including flat bottles, round bottles, boxes, egg-shaped vessels, tube-shaped vessels and cups, all intact.
