To taste a cup of good tea

Three factors are inseparable: water temperature, amount of tea, and brewing time.In addition to the key "Tea ware" that affects the taste of tea, there are also "utensils". There are thousands of utensils for making tea, including glass, porcelain and pottery. For most people, porcelain and glass are the most convenient tea utensils. They have small pores and do not absorb water.They can restore the most original taste of tea soup, which is very helpful for learning tea. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, you can buy it for hundreds or even tens of dollars.

Yixing Zisha tea set has the characteristics of purple-red color, fine texture, strong plasticity and good permeability. After molding, it is fired at a high temperature of 1150 °C. The double air holes inside the Zisha teapot make the Zisha tea set have good air permeability.Because "pottery" has large pores and high water absorption, it has the effect of softening water quality. Even the taste of the tea soup brewed by a good pot and a bad pot is very different. And it also contains rich and profound tea culture connotation, both practical value and ornamental value.The most famous is the Zisha teapot in Yixing, Jiangsu, China. It is developed from traditional folk handicrafts. It is loved by people for its unique material and wonderful and diverse shapes. Different mud materials, different grades, and different shapes all affect the price of a pot. In addition to the vermilion clay that we can easily get started with, we would like to take you to a deeper understanding of purple sand and appreciate the more beautiful clay-painted teapots.

Because "pottery" has large pores, high water absorption, and has the effect of softening water quality. Even the taste of tea soup brewed by a good pot and a bad pot is very different. But in addition to its practical function of making tea, its aesthetic value is to a greater extent, it pays attention to the beauty of restraint, coquettishness, and restraint. Most of the purple sand works in the early years were not decorated, and a plain purple sand ware can be used as an independent aesthetic subject. However, the purple sand decoration has always been accompanied by the purple sand craft. From plain plain body to partial decoration, to glazing, gilding, tin-wrapping, inlaying jade, colored mud painting, etc., at the end of Qing Dynasty, due to the participation of literati, it changed to calligraphy, painting, compilation and engraving. Decorative means, making utensils full of scholarly temperament.

Different mud materials, different grades, and different vessel shapes all affect the price of a pot. In addition to the easy-to-get Zhuni, we also want to bring you an in-depth understanding of Zisha and appreciate more beautiful clay-painted teapots.

What is purple clay painting?

Purple sand clay painting decoration is to make use of the different color characteristics of purple sand mud, use mud as ink, and based on traditional Chinese painting techniques, use tools such as knives and pens to paint, shape, and carve on the purple sand embryo, depending on the thickness of the mud. Different from the mud color, to show the charm and artistic conception of traditional Chinese brush and ink.To put it simply, it is to use a brush dipped in mud, paint on the purple sand pottery, or pot, or flowerpot, and then fire it in a kiln after the pottery is dry. The difficulty itself, the combination and firing of the mud and the body, and the use of the thickness of the far and near mud directly determine the virtual and real effect of the picture, and the "sluggishness" of the mud itself increases the difficulty of creating a vivid and virtual picture, which needs to be fully mastered by the creator. Mud properties can only be achieved by being familiar with water and using tools skillfully.

Purple clay painting first appeared in the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The person who used this technique was a master of purple clay, Yang Jichu. According to historical documents, he was good at making pots and was also good at clay painting. His mud-painted landscape "Snow River Waiting to Cross" is now in the Nanjing Museum, and the mud-painted pen holder is in the Suzhou Museum. Perhaps due to the great difficulty of purple clay painting decoration and the high requirements for the artist's cultural and artistic literacy, the traditional skill of purple clay painting decoration has not been widely spread.

Zisha teapot making process

The process of making a purple clay teapot is quite complicated and the process is very long.

1. Select zisha mud:
Cultivate the soil for half a year. Wash the hard lumpy mud excavated from the mine, put it in the open air to weather, smash it, remove the impurities in it, and then grind it and sieve it. Soak in water for more than half a year, take out the mud and beat it with a wooden hammer, cut into pieces and seal them, and store them in the kiln for later use

2. Draft the composition:
Determine the pot-shaped structure and draw the pattern

3. Kneading and molding:
There are many molding methods for purple sand, such as manual molding, grouting molding, drawing molding, machine molding and printing blank molding. First beat the mud into pieces, knead the body, then dig out the foot, open the surface, spread the shape of the pot evenly, and finally open the mouth hole, add the handle, mouth, cover, etc.

4. Trimming:
The surface of the purple clay teapot is not glazed, and the finished blank must be carefully trimmed to make the outline of the vessel full, with clear lines and clear texture, so as to meet the production requirements of round pearls and smooth jade, and integrate into a whole. Some utensils also need to be decorated .

5. Print the stamp:
The mouth of the pot faces down, and a small wooden post is used to strike a seal on the bottom of the pot.

6. Firing:
The blank should be dried in the shade for two or three days to remove the moisture in the embryo, otherwise it will be easy to burn and burst during firing. After drying in the shade, it is placed in a sagger and fired in a kiln.

7. Polishing and waxing:
Waxing is a unique process of Zisha. Painted purple clay wares need to be fired twice.
