Chen Mansheng, one of the "Eight Schools of West Leng", devoted himself to promoting the art of teapot during the Taoist period. It is said that he painted 18 kinds of pots by hand, and asked Yang Pengnian and Shao Erquan, purple pottery artists, to make them. Then, Chen Mansheng and his performers, such as Jiang Tingxiang, Gao Shuangquan, Guo Boying and Cha, wrote inscriptions and carved them on the pot, and integrated artistic elements such as literature, calligraphy and seal cutting into the art of teapot, forming a unique literati pot style. Eighteen Styles of Full-cooked Pot has aroused people's strong interest for many years. 1937 In Liu Ya, the first volume of Yangxian Sand Pot, eight inscriptions by Chen Mansheng were introduced respectively, among which the pot names were clearly Lee Tae Pot, Acacia Pot, Shu Pot and Minefield Pot.

Mansheng teapot is a kind of Yixing teapot. From the beginning, it was studied and created by a group of people headed by Chen Mansheng. It is a combination of literati and folk craftsmen, creating a literati pot style with diverse styles and often producing new products. The study of Mansheng pot depends on its own value, whether its shape is exquisite or not, and whether its inscriptions, calligraphy, seals and carving techniques are full of elegant demeanor of literati.
