Zisha pots can be divided into five categories: square pots, flower pots, ribbed pots, bare pots and ceramic decorative pots. Here is a brief introduction:
1, the square pot is a combination of points, lines and surfaces. The pot body is solid and steady, combined with Fiona Fang, which combines rigidity and softness, reflecting human aesthetics;
2. The flowerpot takes melons, fruits, trees, bamboos and other natural species as the theme, which is characterized by fully showing the beauty of nature and returning to nature;
3. Ribbed diamond pot, commonly known as "Ribbed pot", is a pot that shoots regular lines from the center of the top of the pot. Vertical lines are called ribs and horizontal lines are called stripes;
4. The lamp pot is mainly round, and its shape is evolved on the basis of round, and it is made by various methods such as lines, descriptions and inscriptions.
5. Pottery pot is a kind of abstract pot with round and non-round, square and non-square, and it is a kind of pot with reinforcement and without reinforcement. It can be decorated with patterns and colors of oil paintings and Chinese paintings, which is a traditional and non-traditional ceramic art.
It can be seen that each kind of pot has certain uniqueness. This also greatly enriches the collection scope of teapot lovers and can be selected in many ways.
Question 2: What kind of tea is the best for raising teapot? Now the so-called potted plants are just a gimmick of merchants, and people blindly follow suit. Just like playing walnuts, bracelets, amber and agate, these hot spots without cultural foundation are commercial operations and trapped in the hub.
After a period of maintenance, the color of the teapot has become "moist", which makes people mistakenly think that it is the patina of the teapot. In fact, it's just a layer of tea dirt attached evenly, which will fall off after washing. What's the use? Drinking tea is a gentle move. You always wash the teapot. I'm afraid it's too careless.
If possible, each kind of tea should be equipped with a pot to avoid odor. Don't keep the pot, use it normally, put it down, which is more in line with the essence of tea. Maybe one day, you suddenly find that time has polished the pot and made it moist, thick and simple.
Question 3: Which kind of purple clay pot is better than purple clay, red clay and green clay? Any kind of pure and single mud can be called clear cement. In fact, there is very little cement on the supernatant, and many of them are mixed with other mud.
For example, section mud is green mud mixed with purple mud. Some of this mud was mixed with green mud and purple mud at the beginning of mining, and some was mixed later. At present, the biggest feature of Duan clay pot is that it needs to be cooked, otherwise it will spit black, that is, the pot will become unclean and opaque after use (which can be found online).
Zhu mud is the best of red mud. Because of the nature of mud itself, the output is low in the process of making pots, so it is more expensive. Zhu mud has poor air permeability compared with other mud materials, and is more suitable for soaking Tieguanyin because it combines heat and fragrance.
Purple mud, whether it is clear at the bottom or whatever, is very suitable for making all kinds of tea. Therefore, there is no difference between good and bad mud, as long as it is real purple sand. Real purple sand is not mixed with various oxides (for beauty), which is harmless to the body and can be played with.
I suggest you go to a regular pot shop to have a look. Don't buy some strange and gorgeous colors. It's best to start with purple mud. When you have experience, you can prepare a few pots and make all kinds of tea.
Now many sellers wax pots in pursuit of luster. No expert pot friend will buy a wax pot. In fact, a good clay pot does not need to be waxed, and a waxed pot is definitely not a good pot and has no collection value. How to tell whether the pan is waxed?
First, it feels particularly bright.
Second, there is a strange feeling of touching wax.
Third, once the water is poured, it will quickly gather into water drops and roll down.
Fourth, it may smell strange.
Question 4: Where is the best teapot? Jiangsu Yixing Zisha Village.
The highest auction price in Hong Kong at present.
The auction price of pumpkin cans in Chen Mingyuan was HK$ 8.42 million.
The auction price of Chen Mingyuan Zisha three-legged round pot is 2.46 million.
The auction price of shamei pile pot made in Chen Mingyuan is 3.58 million.
Chen Mingyuan, whose name is Ming Yuan and whose name is Hefeng, also known as Shixiashan, was a famous Yixing purple sand artist during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. He is a famous hand who has made great achievements in pot art and fine products for hundreds of years. Chen Mingyuan is another generation of teapot masters after Shi Dabin in the early Qing Dynasty. He was born in a teapot family, and his ancestral home is Yixing, Jiangsu. His works are of great cultural and artistic value and are regarded as classics by teapot circles.
Chen Mingyuan was born in a purple sand family. He made dozens of tea sets and played with Ya, all of which were exquisite. He also pioneered the style of carving poems and inscriptions on pots. His style is elegant and generous, and his works are well-known at home and abroad. At that time, there was a saying that "overseas compete for a dish of distant dishes", and he made outstanding contributions to the development of purple sand pottery. (For details, see Zisha books "Soul of the Pot" and "On the Pot").
His pot-making skills are exquisite and comprehensive, and he is brave in pioneering and innovating. The ancient Yi wares he copied, such as Jue, Zhang and Ding, are exquisite in craftsmanship, high in taste and full of ancient meaning. The teapot made has various shapes and is especially good at making natural sand pots. The works include melon-shaped pot, lotus seed pot, firewood gathering pot, scattered pot, prune pot, sericulture pot, etc., which are very natural and interesting. On the basis of the Ming dynasty, the natural pot was further promoted to the artistic level. These pot shapes are not only his outstanding creations, but also the historical modeling of sand pot technology, which is widely used by pot makers in later generations.
He is versatile, and he has made many elegant desks for playing and stationery, such as raw water chestnut, lentils, peanuts, corn, mushrooms, chestnuts, lotus root slices, water chestnut, walnuts and ginkgo. They are exquisite and vividly show the natural ecology of fruits and vegetables, and are matched with the muscles of fruits and vegetables.
He also created a pot body engraved with poems and inscriptions for decoration, and introduced the decorative art of China traditional painting and calligraphy and the way of book payment into the making process of the sand pot with the engraved name and seal, which added many meaningful decorative interests to the original plain pot body and made the sand pot more bookish. In addition, poetry inscriptions and calligraphy are elegant and beautiful, which has made pot art, tea tasting and literati.
Chen Guojun, a descendant of Chen Mingyuan, is a master of folk purple sand craft. 1954 10 was born in Zisha Village, Dingshu Town, Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. Born into a purple sand family, he is a descendant of Chen Mingyuan, a purple sand master in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. He was born in Zisha home since childhood and has a natural attachment and hobby to Zisha. Influenced by ceramic art since childhood, his works are simple, delicate and exquisite, full of vivid interest and humanistic atmosphere of nature.
Chen Guojun grew up in a purple sand family, located in the birthplace of purple sand mud, purple sand culture, purple sand production technology and creation. In this context, Chen Guojun became interested in purple sand when he was a teenager. In addition, Chen Mingyuan, a famous purple sand master in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, was among the ancestors. In his young mind, he has the ambition to inherit the legacy of his ancestors and carry forward the skills and culture of purple sand.
Chen's craft of making teapot was passed down from generation to generation by Chen Ziwa. There has always been a tradition of inheriting the father's business, and the genealogy has not been verified for various historical reasons. In Grandpa Chen Guojun's generation, Chen Fusheng (the third in the family and the third in the trumpet) was also engaged in making purple sand. His father Chen Xinzhou and his uncle Chen Yongzhou are both famous local purple sand producers. Among them, father Chen Xinzhou is mainly responsible for the production of teapot, and uncle Chen Yongzhou is responsible for the sales of teapot, with clear division of labor. And before and after liberation, Shanghai also had branches for sale. Formed the experience mode of purple sand production and sales.
Chen's teapot making skills, the whole teapot making has strict technology and division of labor, especially in antique, hexagonal, stone ladle and so on. Moreover, he has a high attainments. He has always adhered to the principle of only making pots by hand and only making real teapots. He has always been familiar with the ideological principles of these pots, including operating business and setting an example. Every time he saw his father making a pot, he was full of interest and kept asking his father about the principle and method of making a pot. & gt
Question 5: What is the best teapot? The teapot is rising in the auction market and is an "antique" with collection value. The works of famous artists are often hard to find. As the saying goes, "Yixing Zisha is the most important." You can go to Bobaozhen Mall to find out. Teapots, once unique handmade pottery in China, are now manufactured in large quantities by machines. The raw material is purple sand, originally from Yixing, Jiangsu, also known as Yixing teapot. Its origin can be traced back to Fan Li, a doctor in the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, with a history of more than 2,400 years. Purple sand began to make cans during the period of Zheng De and Emperor Wu of Ming Chengzu, and famous artists came forth in large numbers. The fine products were passed down from generation to generation for 500 years. It is said that the founder of the teapot was the provider of spring in the Han Dynasty. The characteristic of teapot is that it doesn't take away the aroma of tea and has no taste of cooking soup. The wall of the teapot absorbs the fragrance of tea, and after long-term use, pouring boiling water into the empty teapot will also have the fragrance of tea.
Question 6: What kind of tea is suitable for a teapot? Generally speaking, teapots don't pick tea leaves. Any kind of tea can be brewed in a teapot, but the characteristics of the teapot are better matched with the characteristics of tea.
For example, vermicelli generally has high mesh number and high density, and the loss of aroma absorbed on highly fragrant tea products is small, which is beneficial to tea, gathers heat and promotes aroma, and is an oolong tea companion. Bamboo pottery pots should be brewed with strings of Anxi Tieguanyin to show the characteristics of tea fragrance and smoothly release the tea rhyme and floral fragrance of Tieguanyin. Guangdong coastal areas like to eat "Kung Fu Tea", which is suitable for drinking in small pots. The capacity is 100-200ml, and its crimson color symbolizes auspiciousness.
The kiln temperature of Duan Mud (Benshan Green Mud) is about 1 150 degrees, and the shrinkage rate is about 13%. Suitable for brewing: green tea, Tieguanyin tea, Taiwan Province Baozhong tea and oolong tea (light baking series). Thin fetus, good green tea. A tall tube (such as Jingtian tea) is a sharp weapon for making tea.
Purple mud, segment mud, slope mud and large pots are all suitable for brewing black tea, and the ones with higher barrels are better. Purple mud, segment mud and slope mud are loose, which is beneficial to absorb the bad smell of black tea. Their exchange can also make the taste of tea soup better and the height of the barrel more stuffy. However, because the soup color is too strong, it is easy to cause mud to spit black, so it should be kept soaked after trial cultivation. The small green pot in this mountain is like a stone (this is the most recommended new product in my family), and its body is light yellow. It is specially brewed in Chen Pu, especially the fragrant lotus powder, which can restore the inherent letters and original flavor of cooked tea.
Flat pot is suitable for Wuyi tea. A tall pot is suitable for making fragrant tea. It is not advisable to use a straight pot with a high barrel to make Tieguanyin tea, because it is easy to form residues when pouring tea in a pot with a high barrel, which will release tea tannins and cause tea bitterness. I am the owner of a Taobao purple sand shop. The name of the shop is casserole impression. Come and have a look sometime!
Question 7: Where is the origin of the teapot? Where is better? The teapot is bullish in the auction market and is an "antique" with collection value. The works of famous artists are often hard to find. As the saying goes, "There are many jewels in the world, and Yixing Zisha is the most sought after." Zisha Pot is a unique handmade clay sculpture handicraft of Han nationality in China. The raw material is purple sand, which is produced in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu Province, also known as Yixing Zisha Pot.
Yixing teapot is a work of art with beautiful shape and simple color. On the other hand, practical products. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the prosperity of porcelain, Yixing purple sand art also developed by leaps and bounds. Shao Youlan is good at making antique models, especially "exquisite clay and jade-like quality are a must". The seals used include the oval seal with edge line made by Yang Youlan, the square seal with edge line made by Youlan, and the small print of "Youlan" in regular script, engraved with the general signature "Er Quan". Because the seal material of Zisha artists is solid and can be used for several years or even a lifetime, the identification of seal money is the direct basis for judging the author of Zisha teapot.
The first master of contemporary purple sand is Mr. Gu Jingzhou. Others are Jiang Rong, Xu Xiutang, Xu Hantang, Bao Zhiqiang, Gao Haigeng, Zhu Kexin, He Daohong, Pei Shimin, Wang Yinchun, Li Changhong, Gu Shaopei, Wang Yinxian and Lv Yaochen. , but also have their own unique skills and expertise, these are temporary gifts. When Yixing teapot originated, it was already done by academics and purple sand lovers.
Question 8: How to choose a good teapot How to choose a good teapot What conditions do you need? In addition to personal subjective preferences (some people love flowers and others love square pots) as a starting point, the following criteria can be used to judge:
Modeling structure of pot: The completion of a pot needs to combine many parts. Whether the combination is ideal or not and whether it is physical is the basic element to judge this pot. The following is a description of the combination of three elements of teapot: spout, handle and pot body.
Three points are in a straight line: the spout (outlet), handle and buckle must be in a straight line, in other words, the three points should be aligned (except for a few special shapes).
Proportion should be symmetrical: the proportion of each part should be symmetrical and at the same time show a sense of space.
Smooth water outlet and light grip: spout outlet must be smooth. When holding the handle, the grip should be light and effortless.
Sense of integrated molding: the connection parts between spout and kettle body, handle and kettle body should be handled naturally, without any defects, just like integrated molding.
Appearance of teapot:
The appearance of teapot can be considered from many aspects.
Beauty: In recent years, there are many kinds of teapots on the market, such as tall or short, round or flat, geometric or melon-shaped. However, everyone has everyone's aesthetic point of view, so there is no certain standard for the so-called beauty, as long as it conforms to your mind.
Keep your center of gravity steady: Is it comfortable to use a portable teapot? Is the center of gravity just right? It depends on whether the design of the pot body and handle is accurate. When buying a new pot, let the seller fill up about 3/4 of the pot capacity. Lift the teapot by hand and pour the water slowly. If you feel comfortable, it means that the center of gravity of the teapot is moderate and stable, and it is a good pot. If the handle of the pot needs to be firmly grasped by the user, it means that the main position of the pot is wrong. In addition to the stable center of gravity, the left and right sides should also be symmetrical. When grasping the lid, the spout should be flat and round.
Water should be fast, long and round: water should be straight first, strong, water beam should be long and round. At the same time, if there is no water left in the pot, it means it is a good pot.
Tight fit of the cover: The higher the tightness of the cover, the less the loss of tea fragrance. A teapot with a close lid and body is a good pot. The test method of the tightness between the lid and the body is: the teapot is filled with about 1/2-3/4 of water, and the air hole on the lid is pressed tightly with the index finger, and the pot water is poured to see if the water does not flow, which shows that the two are extremely tight; In addition, press the spout of the teapot with your index finger and turn the teapot upside down. If it is tight enough, the lid won't fall off.
Secondly, the bottom of the pot is smooth and tidy, and the signature is neat. Usually, a can has at least two seals, which may be on the bottom, lid or handle of the can.
Quality of teapot:
There are three ways to make teapot: hand-pulling, plastic digging and grouting, and the value of each one is somewhat different. It is difficult for a layman to judge what it belongs to from its appearance. At this point, you might as well grab the lid and take a closer look at the inside of the pot. Generally speaking, the hand is rough, the dug plastic pot will leave traces of knife carving, and the grouting pot will have mold marks. As for judging its quality, we can start from two aspects, namely, looking at the color and listening to the sound.
Look at the color: According to experts, the color of the teapot is best smooth. A good teapot is really charming because of its smooth color.
Listen to the sound: the hardness of the teapot will be different due to the different firing temperatures, so the sound will be crisp, sonorous or dull. There is no certain standard for brittleness or turbidity. However, according to most experts, the pot with clear and loud voice is more suitable for brewing fermented tea with high aroma; A pot with dull sound is suitable for tea with heavy fermentation and low flavor.
The way to identify the pot body is to put the pot flat on the palm of your left hand and flick the pot body with your right index finger.
It must be emphasized here that Yixing clay contains timely ingredients, so after making a teapot, you can see a little golden light when you look after it under the light, which is a feature that clay in other places does not have.
Question 9: What is the best tea to make in a teapot? Making tea in a teapot has many advantages. Using teapot to make tea has mellow aroma, good heat preservation, no smell of cooked soup and can keep the essence of tea. Generally speaking, it is best to make semi-fermented tea or fully fermented tea in a teapot, and it is best to make tea in a teapot (a teapot only makes one kind of tea). Clear water mud is more suitable for oolong tea, and self-made tea is suitable for Pu 'er Laiyang tea, so different pots should be used to make different teas.
Mainly four kinds of common teas: black tea, Pu 'er tea, Tieguanyin tea and green tea.
Duan Ni, Benshanqing, Danxing clay pot, light blue mortar and clear water clay pot are definitely not suitable for black tea, Pu 'er tea and black tea, especially when Benshanqing and Duan Ni soak black tea, the pot wall absorbs black tea scale, resulting in artificial black spitting.
Cinnabar and red clay pot: four kinds of tea are ok, and it is best to soak oolong tea such as Tieguanyin;
Small mouth pot: not suitable for Tieguanyin;
Bottom-cleaning pot, low-temperature fired pot, cement-cleaning pot: put any tea in moderation;
Black tea is more suitable for dark star mud and dark green mortar pot.
Pots of ordinary purple mud and dark purple mud: Pu 'er, black tea and black tea are relatively easy to raise, and other teas can also be brewed;
Large capacity pot: not suitable for making green tea;
Small capacity pot: more suitable for making green tea;
Mud and light mud: Biluochun and Longjing are used, and Maojian is more suitable;
Big-mouthed pot: more suitable for Tieguanyin.
Clear water clay pot: more suitable for making black tea.
Bottom tank (pig liver color) fired at high temperature: black tea and Pu 'er are more suitable.
Descending clay pots: Tieguanyin is more suitable.
Roshi Pottery Pot: Black tea is more suitable.
It should be noted that light-colored pots such as golden section, old section, Benshan green and gray are not suitable for soaking black tea juice. Pay attention to the temperature difference when using Zhu Bao in winter. Don't pour hot water rashly, warm the pot first. Because the shrinkage ratio of Zhu mud is particularly large, it is easy to crack when it expands with heat and contracts with cold!
