The Bogui Cauldron is a replica of a Zhou dynasty ceremonial cauldron. The ‘gui’ in Bogui, as it is known in Chinese, gave its name to Gui Jie, Beijing’s riotous food street. ‘It’s interesting that the Bogui has been adopted as a promotional symbol for Gui Jie. There’s no real historical connection, the artefact has gained sentimental value in this new context.’ Radium Tam, Tsinghua Cultural Heritage Conservation Center. Dongzhimen Junction (opposite Raffles City mall), Chaoyang district 东直门南大街1号
