When the representative had drunk the fifth cup,
the ruler washed the cup of jade, and presented it to the ministers.
When he had drunk the seventh cup,
that of green jasper was presented to the Great officers.
When he had drunk the ninth cup,
the plain one varnished was presented to the ordinary officers, and all who were taking part in the service.
In all the classes the cup passed from one to another, according to age;
and thus were shown the degrees of rank as more honourable and lower.
