Kung Fu tea sets include bowls, tea cups (that is, fair cups), incense cups, teacups, tea ware filters, tea clips, saucers, tea trays and tea towels. Kung Fu tea set is the most exquisite tea set, so it is called Kung Fu tea because this way of making tea is extremely exquisite. It takes a certain amount of effort to operate. This effort is for the sake of the knowledge of brewing and the kung fu of drinking. Kung fu tea sets have been circulated for hundreds of years. The earliest Kung Fu tea set was popular in Guangdong and other places, and then spread to various regions slowly.
Teapots existed before the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang dynasty, people called the teapot "Zhu", which means pouring water out of the spout. According to "Random Books", "In the early Yuan Dynasty (Tang Xianzong in 806 AD), people still drank from bottles ... This banknote is like a poppy with a lid, a mouth and a handle." Poppy is a bottle with a small mouth and a big belly. Teapots in the Tang Dynasty are similar to bottles, with a big belly to hold more water and a small mouth to make tea and fill it with water.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people didn't like the name "Zhuzi", and even removed the handle of the teapot to look like a "Ming bottle". Because there is no handle, the teapot is called "sheet handle". Later generations called making tea "point note". It is based on the name of "Zhuzi" in the teapot of the Tang Dynasty.
The art of tea ceremony in Ming Dynasty became more and more exquisite, especially in making tea, watching brown color, holding lamps and ironing pots. To meet such high requirements, tea sets must be reformed and innovated. For example, teapots in the Ming Dynasty began to pay attention to the teapot, which is a new pursuit of tea art. Because the teapot does not absorb tea fragrance and the tea color is not damaged, it is regarded as a good product. According to Chronicle of Long History, "the teapot is topped with sand, and the lid of the teapot neither steals incense nor smells hot soup." Speaking of Yixing sand pot, almost everyone knows it.
Yixing sand pot was only famous in the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, there was a Potter named Gong Chun in Yixing in Ming Dynasty, who was the first person to be famous for Yixing sand pot. Later, there was another Yixing Potter named Shi Dabin, who preferred small pots. Its pot is "not flattering, but elegant and wonderful ... and can't be compared with famous artists before and after." "Drawing a Sail Record" said: "The pot of the big guest is known by the thumb mark on the handle."
