The bronze teapot from the 5th century BC is an important ancient Chinese bronze wine vessel, currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Belonging to the category of hunting scene pots, it is decorated with four main hunting scenes depicting people using spears, knives, and bows to hunt birds, deer, wild boars, and tigers. The depiction of human activities in bronze art represents a revolutionary transformation, in stark contrast to the strict symmetry and hierarchical sacred symbols and stylized animal patterns of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The theme of this bronze pot seems to be more secular rather than religious, showing a side of social life at that time.
