What are Shi Dabin's records in the history of China?
Shi Dabin (1573—— 1648), who was born from Wanli of Ming Dynasty to Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty, was the son of Shi Peng, one of the famous "Four Masters" of Zisha. He established a difficult technical system of clay mosaic that is still used in the purple sand industry. According to the brief statistics of later generations, his works, including dozens, are only a few. Born in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, he died in the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. Shi Dabin's pot-making skills are comprehensive, and he has made outstanding achievements in mud-making, molding techniques, vessel design and calligraphy. He mixed sand into mud and created a pot made of mixed sand, which the ancients called "ancient coarse sand with uniform texture" and was unique. In the aspect of molding technology, the method of "taking wood as the mold" of the spring is improved, and the cylinder-beating molding method is combined with the cylinder-inlaying molding method, so that the basic method of clay-inlaying molding of teapot is determined, which is a leap in the manufacturing method of teapot. It also pioneered square and round pot shapes and became a typical pot shape of teapot.

Shi Dabin listened to the advice of Chen Jiru and other literati, changed the teapot into a small size, which made it more suitable for the literati's tea drinking habits, introduced the literati's interest into the pot art, and combined the pot art with the tea ceremony, pushing the pot art to a new height. There are 16 and 17 teapots made by Shi Dabin, five of which were excavated in recent years, all in the Ming Tombs. The rest have been handed down from generation to generation, with various pot types, including round pot, hexagonal pot, three-legged pot, square pot with light opening, hanging beam pot, book-flat pot, monk's hat pot, bag-printing pot, rhombic pot, half-melon water tank and so on. , respectively, in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hong Kong and other places of public and private institutions and collectors. He studied the mud making, modeling technology, modeling design and carving of purple sand pottery, and established a difficult technical system of using clay tablets and inlaying which is still followed by purple sand industry. He chose purple sand mud and blended it into various mud colors for products, forming a simple and vigorous style. Most of his early works imitated the big pot for spring, and later changed it into a small pot according to the literati's tea drinking habits, and signed the date to make it. It is known as the authentic pot art and has many handed down works, which are collected in museums such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Taiwan Province Province.
