"What to play" has always been a phrase that antique experts have been playing with. What is the purple clay teapot for?

Generally speaking, buying a teapot is nothing more than one clay, two types and three types. For those who like to drink tea with their heads down, it is easier. A pot made of purple sand clay is enough. The most important thing to make a purple clay pot is the material, that is, the raw ore. The raw ore looks similar to a stone. After being dug out, it needs to be weathered slowly, and then it is ground and filtered with water to get a fine mud. The process of taking mud is a bit like making tofu in the countryside. The original mud is divided into purple, green and red colors. I saw in the Yixing Zisha Museum that there is also a special-grade bottom tank green mud produced in Huanglong Mountain. The mud is good and the pot has a good bottom, as everyone who plays pots knows. Real players not only choose the pot type, but even the richer the money, the reputation of the producer will be rounded up. For example, in Shanghai before, a purple sand teapot made by Gu Jingzhou, painted by Wu Hufan, and collected by Tang Yun sold for a high price of 3.18 million yuan.

There are three kinds of pots, one for practical use, the other for appreciation and play, and the third for collection. As far as "playing" is concerned, only the center has the most knowledge. In addition to nourishing with good tea every day, there is also palm touching, a color every day, and new feelings every year. At the end of the game, a state of interaction can be achieved between people and pots, that is, people nourish the pot's energy, and the pot nourishes human nature, purifying and cultivating each other. There are actually long explanations for the play characters of the purple clay teapot, and they can be cultivated after playing. There are two kinds of nourishment, one is tea nourishment, nourishing the face, color, and spirituality; the other is human nourishment, nourishing energy, nourishing food, and nourishing feeling. If it's just for fun, I'm afraid there won't be so many good things from the older generation.

A good pot is not vulgar, and it is also a unique quality of purple clay pots. Last year, a player from Fujian showed me how to make tea with a purple clay pot. Washing the pot, ironing the pot, washing and ironing again, after seeing it, I felt that it was more like making a tea pot with tea. I was drinking tea, but I felt like tasting the pot and drinking it. Tea, pot also drink tea. In this way, the purple sand pots in the hands of those players become more and more eye-catching, and the layer of paste that looks like glaze but not glaze, porcelain and not porcelain that wraps the whole body of the pot is oily and introverted, warm and moist as time. The reputation of "old pot wins porcelain". Compared with the so-called innovative techniques of covering gold and embedding jade for the purpose of hype in recent years, traditional old teapots are not only easy to use and durable to look at, but the ultimate elegance formed in the end highlights the soft way of Chinese purple clay culture.
