The hulu shape conforms to the Taoist idea of an all-encompassing and joyous way of being and moving through the world. Zhuangzi wrote, “The spirit comes from the Tao”. A rounded robust form, liuli streams that flow upward in dark to light gradient. The embossed surface features peaches - a symbol of fertility and future generations, lychee - the symbol of a sweet life, and pomegranate - the symbol of togetherness. The hulu, like an intoxicating carafe of liuli wine, reflects the play between light and shadow. Shou, the character for longevity, is hand-carved and repeated across the hulu. Each shou “壽” symbolizes LIULI's reverence for humanistic philosophy. The "shou" “壽” symbol is uniquely Chinese and represents blessings and sincerity. Celebrations are often punctuated by a toast. Each sip elicits a rich and profound emotion.

Unrestrained Euphony
Past, present and future,
exist in this one moment
as the accumulation of blood, sweat and tears
mellows into a fine wine.
From simple to rich,
watery to full-bodied,
the best is saved for the last
in a final sip both
intoxicating and bittersweet.

酣暢和聲
過去現在和未來
並存一刻
一番汗水淋漓
端出陳年佳釀
淺入深 淡入濃
好酒沉甕底
最終入喉
是迷人的苦甘餘韻。
