From the painted pottery pot that "retraces the past and is profound, and casts painted pottery with mud strips and plates" to the bronze pottery that "I drink the golden pots of that gold, and keep it forever." From the porcelain pot that "Nine Autumn Wind Dew Yue Kiln opens, wins the green color of thousands of peaks" to the purple clay pot that "the cold spring of small stones retains the early flavor, and the new purple mud product blooms in spring". As a cultural heritage, the pot is the manifestation of the quality of life by our ancestors and predecessors, the pursuit of aesthetic objectification, and the presentation of the emotional transformation of vessels. It can be said to be a reappearance of the youthfulness of "living poetically".
pot of sun and moon, the utensils of spring and autumn. The purple oak of the universe is shining on the nine provinces. Outside the long pavilion and by the ancient road, the past is awakened by the memories of being together. In the palace and among the towers, the time is concerned by the flow of rain and wind. The courtyard is full of fragrance and the jade tower is springing, and my thoughts are amazed by the alternation of stars and seas. As a container in people's daily life, pots interpret poetry and distant places over the long years.

pot, " Shuowen " solemnly interprets: " Kunwu round utensil." From painted pottery, bronze, celadon to purple clay, the pot is interpreting the life form, thoughts and aesthetic process of our nation.
From the Yangshao colored pottery pottery pottery pottery in the new Stone Age to the Majiayao colored pottery pottery pottery, our primitive ancestors have integrated painting, decoration, sculpture, modeling, and carving, which contains their life form, social ecology and original totem mentality. For example, the colored pottery pot with java 2 Majiayao Shenren pattern is plump and round, elegant and beautiful, and the decoration is simple and bright, which reflects the primitive ancestors' full interest in life and unique thoughts and emotions. The culture and art of the slave society, Shang and Zhou , took bronze ware as an example, thus creating a glorious Bronze Age. The bronze pot embodies the life style, aesthetic style and social style of that era. Like a bronze gourd pot, birds are used as covers, and the lower part is supported by a ring foot. The overall shape is quite vivid, with a long neck, sloping shoulders, bulging belly and flat bottom. The cover is decorated with dragon patterns, the neck is decorated with geometric cloud thunder pattern , and the belly is decorated with coiled patterns. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the patterns are exquisite, and the carvings are exquisite, which makes it have high aesthetic value in addition to its practical functions. Guo Moruo gave a high evaluation in "Testing for the Imaging of Yi Qi". The pottery making craftsmanship in the Qin and Han dynasties was also mainly composed of a large number of daily necessities, but the aesthetic awareness in life was still moving the art garden. For example, the "Han Painted Dragon and Tiger Ceramic Pot" unearthed from Luoyang has round and lush shapes, simple and beautiful patterns, and bright and simple colors. In particular, the body of the pot is decorated with red, which forms a sharp contrast with the overall color of the pot, and the characteristics of color glaze pottery can be seen. When pottery developed to , Eastern Han , celadons had appeared in some areas. For example, the dragon kiln in Shangyu, Zhejiang is very famous. The development from ceramic to porcelain is a historic turning point in the history of Chinese ceramics.

conveys the alternation of spring and autumn, welcomes the cultivation of time, and shows the sublimation of craftsmanship. According to the "Pottery Record", "Caotan was prosperous in the Tang Dynasty." In other words, in the long historical evolution, pottery has tended to improve from practicality to aesthetics, from instrumentality to quality, and from technicality to artistic, thus emerging a new benchmark of craftsmanship that "it was the name of kilns until the Tang Dynasty". From then on, no matter in the spring rain of apricot blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, by the small bridges and flowing water, or in the iron horses and golden swords in the north, from Wang Wei 's "Xinfeng wine fights ten thousand years, how many years of the heroes in Xianyang", Du Fu 's "Singing in the daytime must be from wine, youth is a companion to return home" to Li Bai 's "A pot of wine among flowers, drinking alone without a blind date", and Bai Juyi's "A pot of wine is in harmony, and the piano song is in the wild and leisurely". Tang poetry fermented more romantic, beautiful, bold and exciting in the smelting of the wine pot. The "seal-style tea foam pot" in the hands of the poets with unique shape and elegant glaze is produced in Yue Kiln in eastern Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At that time, the Yue Kiln celadon , which was respected as the "Crown of All Kilns" by , the , the craftsmanship is exquisite, the glaze is warm, the shape is exquisite, the texture is hard, and the sound is crisp.The poet Xu Wei praised with a poem: "The bright moon is skillfully drawn out and dyed spring water, and the thin ice is pouring green clouds. The ancient mirror breaks the moss on the mat, and the tender lotus leaves the river to collapse." It is also like the " Phoenix Pattern Holding the Pot" in Changsha Kiln, the shape of the vessel is generous and dignified, the cylindrical pot is thick and long, the abdomen is round and the flow is short and the handle is curved, full of strength and momentum. The body of the pot is covered with a warm and mellow green glaze, which is glittering yellow in the blue, revealing luxuriousness. The ampulla is painted with brown and green color, with magnificent and smooth lines, and a lively and beautiful figure. No wonder Li Bai, who "goes to Changsha for the first time for the migrants", touched the homesickness deep in his heart when he saw this wine pot. Only in this way, the naming of the kiln has the milestone of beauty that life is life. The noble "Tang Secret Porcelain Pot" in the Royal Temple Famen Temple represents the epic singing of "the sun and the moon are in the mind of the pot."

Tea fragrance is quiet and swaying, the piano sound is graceful and low, Osmanthus tree welcomes autumn with gold, a lady in red is playing the piano, two ladies are quietly enjoying and listening, and two maids are respectfully serving tea. The ladies were dressed in luxurious and gorgeous clothes, with plump and graceful figures, plump faces, and beautiful hair. The tea sets held by the maid are also quite exquisite. This is the "Picture of Tuning the Piano and Tea" by Zhou Fang , a great Tang Dynasty painter who is known as "showing appearance and conveying the craftsmanship of the heart". Such an elegant and exquisite scene reflects the theme of palace grievances, reflects the favor of life for art, highlights the care of aesthetics for life, and forms a scene that is reminiscent of the scene in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. What can be compared with it is the famous work of " Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture " by Gu Hongzhong, the Southern Tang Painting Academy. We have no time to take into account the five major scenes of the entire luxurious night banquet of the Han Mansion, from the banquet, playing , playing pipa , dancing and beating drums to changing clothes and listening to music. You can also ignore the different eyes, mentality and physical movements of guests at night, from the host Han family, the new top scholar, the deputy envoy of the Jiaofang, the doctor of Taichang to the monk Mingde, the disciple Shu Ya, the music girl's dancer and even the favorite prostitute Ruolan. Just the two exquisite "Tang Qing Glaze Pot" on the long table in the first scene are extraordinary, with majestic and vivid colors, forming the beautification of life by art and interpreting the spirit's interpretation of aesthetics. Therefore, the Tang poet Jiaoran was fascinated by this. In "Drinking Tea Songs, Mocking the Envoy of Cui Shi", sang: "The plain porcelain is filled with snow, but the fragrance of white foam is like the scent of all the immortals."

Northern Song Dynasty Su Dongpo staged a human comedy of "pine wind and bamboo furnace, lifting the pot to each other". From this, he found that the Dongpo lifting pot with a lively and beautiful shape and is convenient for practical carrying. "Whose good times and beautiful scenery can be used to enjoy the sky?" And the "shadow celadon wine pot" in Jingdezhen, the "shadow celadon wine pot" in the bright pavilion with a slightly bright window screen contains the warmth of the passing years, and tells the dream of passing the world back to Lin'an. Life, for Su Dongpo, a literary master of the Song Dynasty who "when will the bright moon come? Ask the sky with wine?", does not seem to have more favors, greater care, and better longing, but he understands and loves life the most. It can be said that he is the master of the artistic and artistic lifestyle for thousands of years. After being in politics for forty years, he was demoted and exiled for thirty or three years. How did he live this long life? In a word, it can be born aesthetically and live artistically. When Su Dongpo was exiled to Fenghuang Village at the foot of Shushan in Yixing again, he saw that there were "Tang Gong Tea" enshrined in the imperial court, the world's famous water Jinsha Spring, and the elegant and gentle purple clay teapot. He suddenly felt that "there is a taste in the world is a joy" and "the good tea is always like a beautiful woman." His tragic life was suddenly filled with sunshine. Therefore, he often cooked tea, savored poems and sang lyrics with his friends under the pine forest and beside the clear spring, and staged a human comedy of "Pine-wind and bamboo stove, holding the pot and calling each other", thus inventing the Dongpo Liangliu pot with a lively and beautiful shape and convenient and practical carrying. For this reason, he said proudly in the poem "Testing for Tea": "The crab eyes have passed the raw fish eyes, and the pine wind is about to whistle, and the grinding and fine beads fall, and the snow is flying around the cup." Yes, the Grand Secretary has been foolish all his life and has no regrets in his life.From then on Yixing (formerly known as Yangxian), both children and children were singing the song "How precious is the world's gold and jade, and it's like a ball of soil in the mountains of Yangxian". This soil is the beautiful purple clay five-color earth.
Gu Hongzhong's famous work "Han Xizai Night Banquet" in the first scene, the two exquisite Tang Qing glaze pots on the long table are majestic and lively, forming the beautification of life by art and interpreting the spirit's interpretation of aesthetics
Historical view: purple clay teapots originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Fan Zhongyan , who advocated "worry about the world before worrying, and then having fun in the world after joy", also praised the poem: "The green dust flies by the golden mill, and the jade cup heart is snowy." But most of the pots were large pots used for cooking. Until the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old monk in Jinsha Temple in Yixing who made small pots, made by hand, and had a cute shape. Later, a young scholar from Wu Yishan's family, Gongchun, followed his master to study in the temple. He learned to make pots from the old monks in his spare time. Gongchun was inspired by the trunk galls of ancient ginkgo trees in the temple and made a vivid and vicissitudes of tree gall pot, which made it a lifelike and vicissitudes of life, and thus gained a reputation. There is a saying that " Gongchun pot is better than gold and jade." From then on, it officially marked that the purple clay teapot changed from a large pot to a small pot, from practical things to art and beauty. "Yangxian Famous Pottery Record" says that the Gongchun pot is "like ancient gold and iron, dumb and Zhou Zheng, and is called a god."

Time Dabin is the son of Shipeng, one of the four famous purple clay masters who rose in during the Jiajing period. He has good cultural cultivation and profound artistic attainments. Especially after he visited Taicang , he and the great scholar Chen Jiru and the great painter Wang Shimin , his literary heart carved dragons, and his pot art has made great progress. From then on, he integrated the design concept with literati ideas. The shape of the pot tends to be exquisite, the style of the pot tends to be shaped, and the style of the pot tends to be poetic, thus correctly establishing the value system and genre of the famous purple clay pot style. When commenting on "Yixing Porcelain Pot Records", Dabin said: "He is a kind and elegant man. The pot is as elegant as it is, and the waves are peaceful and peaceful, which makes people respect it." His squid printing pot, monk's hat pot, and magnolia flower petal pot are unique and magnificent, and are called "the beautiful utensils in the world."

The purple clay pot with brilliant and round pearls and jade is filled with the essence of time, cultivates the poetry of life, and contains the aesthetic heart. On the rugged mountain road in Yixing, Hudu, the rain had just cleared, and the green eyes were dyed. A woodcutter was staggering with a bundle of freshly cut firewood on his back. Chen Mingyuan, who followed him, watched the mottled trunks that were tempered by the wind and rain, with a traverse of ditches, full of vicissitudes. Some firewood also has holes of different sizes, and a small toad is reluctant to leave, emitting a breath of life. Chen Mingyuan, who was stepping on the mountain to enjoy the scenery and relieve boredom because he couldn't find a new pot shape, suddenly lit up. Isn't this a very good pot shape theme? In this way, the benchmark work of flower products in the history of pot art "The Three Friends of the Golden Toads and the Crazy Pot" was born.

His calligraphy also had the style of calligraphy in the Jin and Tang Dynasties. His pot art style was elegant and graceful, his inscriptions were timeless and poetic, and his craftsmanship was exquisite and unique. It was treasured from the palace to the people and was famous at home and abroad.
htmlJanuary of the moon is beautiful and the fragrance of tea flows in the city, and the purple clay in the Bodhi in the pot is filled with love. It can be seen from this that the more purple clay teapot, as a practical vessel, develops to the future, the more it contains the spiritual sustenance and artistic carrier, hiding the soul and hiding the spirit and the environment is beyond the image. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty, a master Chen Mansheng became involved in pots. He is one of the famous " Eight Schools of Xiling ". He is skilled in poetry and prose, is proficient in seal carving, is good at calligraphy and painting, and likes to collect and collect.

The biggest feature of Mansheng Pot is to incorporate life into artistic, to aestheticize practicality, and to combine calligraphy, seal carving, and poetry into a pot. The pot shape is simple and unique, the pot style is simple and elegant, the pot inscription is philosophical and Zen, and the aura is high and elegant. It is called "the square is not one style, the round is not one aspect, and it is spectacular."After the "Mansheng era" where the tea is fragrant and the pot is as beautiful as a poem, on the Sansheng Stone of Zisha Art Garden, a handful of Shao Daheng 's " picking a pot " looks like a flower shining on the water, and it is full of charm. It is said that the contemporary pot making master Gu Jingzhou 's last trip to Shanghai was to take a look at this tycoon pot again. Is this the master's greeting to the master? Or a tribute to the classics? There is no need to interpret it. This is the realm of a great craftsman who is in harmony with one's heart. Tycoons are genius and genius mature early, and they become famous very early. The pot has an ancient style and a clear charm and extraordinary temperament. The shape of the pot is strong and magnificent. At that time, it was precious that "a pot of gold is almost impossible to obtain." He is not a common man, he is arrogant by nature, despises the powerful and noble, and is a purple clay giant who values both character and pot quality. The simple and rosy patina of the Tycoon Pot is still moistened by the nourishment of time, and the spirit of great craftsmanship and nobleness of a generation of masters.

As long as you live, the pot always carries the concern of the rings, stays with the calmness of the years, and waits for "When will the spring flowers and autumn moons be? How much will it be known in the past." Shanghai, which has "the rivers and seas connect with Tianjin, and the southeastern city", also goes to the sea, which is now the area of Hongkou Tilanqiao. At that time, there was an temple in the sea. The incense was soaring and believers gathered. Many good men and women cross the bridge with incense baskets, so they are called trolley bridge . In order to commemorate the famous temple, the abbot in the temple specially invited the pot master Chen Guangming to make the "Bowl Bottle and Bright Pot" to be used as a treasure for the temple. The shape of the pot is taken from the bowl used by monks in daily life. There is a silhouette with a tadpole-like shaped text on the belly of the pot, which exudes a simple and mute atmosphere. The slightly raised flowing mouth still seems to be telling the old dream on the sea that is gradually moving away.
Waves wash away the dawn and white clouds emerge from the mountains. The sea embraces all rivers and is tolerant. After Shanghai opened a port , especially after the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with the prosperity of the economy, the development of commerce, the practicality of the market, and the demand for collection, Shanghai's large-scale demand for purple clay teapots was promoted. At that time, there were many buildings and teahouses in Shanghai, and most of them used Yixing purple clay teapot , which was still practical. Shanghai's financial, commercial and even calligraphy and painting, drama and collection circles are very fond of famous pots. So, such as Chen Guangming, Jiang Yanting, Pei Shimin, Cheng Shouzhen, Wang Yinchun, , Fan Dasheng, Zhu Kexin, , Gu Jingzhou, Jiang Rong and other famous Yixing artists gathered in Huangpu River , making the production of purple clay teapots large-scale, serialized and boutique.

After Shanghai opened a port , especially after the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with the prosperity of the economy, the development of commerce, the practicality of the market, and the demand for collection, Shanghai's large-scale demand for purple clay teapots was promoted. At that time, there were many buildings and teahouses in Shanghai, and most of them used Yixing purple clay teapot , which was still practical. Shanghai's financial, commercial and even calligraphy and painting, drama and collection circles are very fond of famous pots. So, such as Chen Guangming, Jiang Yanting, Pei Shimin, Cheng Shouzhen, Wang Yinchun, , Fan Dasheng, Zhu Kexin, , Gu Jingzhou, Jiang Rong and other famous Yixing artists gathered in Huangpu River , making the production of purple clay teapots large-scale, serialized and boutique. Shanghai also opened large pot shops such as Ge Dehe, Tiehuaxuan, Li Yong and Wu Desheng, and sold purple clay to Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States. In 1915, at the Panama International Expo in San Francisco, the United States, Cheng Shouzhen's Ball Pot and Fan Dasheng's Persimmon Pot both won the first prize. Since then, many pot artists have won awards at the World Expo held in Europe and the United States, thus making the Shanghai-style purple clay teapot international, thus opening another peak in the history of Chinese purple clay teapots.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Jingzhou, known as the "Dabin of the Contemporary Times", also became famous in Shanghai. For example, his "Double-line Bamboo Drum Set Pot" was produced in 1947. He was 32 years old at that time. Although he had just risen from the purple clay world where famous masters were numerous, he was already impressive with his profound skills, unique attainments and superb skills. He also collaborated with famous Shanghai calligraphy and painting masters such as Wu Hufan, Tang Yun , Jiang Hanting to make pots, making Jiangnan culture and Shanghai culture perfectly presented.At that time, some ancient and elegant purple clay teapots of famous Chinese and Chinese scholars in the homes of some people in Shanghai, including painting, painting, finance, collection and other people, often placed on their desks. This has become a sea scenery of quality life, containing the urban humanistic and fashionable elegance. As Mansheng’s Hok Ming said: “Note to the Danquan, drink to prolong life.”
