"pearl jade on earth is not as good as a pill on the river soil." Yixing (called Yangxian in ancient times) teapot made of purple sand pottery is a wonderful instrument for making tea. Its purple jade is as warm as a golden sand, with different shapes, and its poems and paintings are all elegant, which can cultivate sentiment and temperament. Using it to taste tea has gradually become an involuntary living habit.
Seven things at home: "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea". As a northeast person, perhaps the local people don't produce tea and know little about tea and tea sets. It's just a coincidence that I have been in Anhui for more than ten years, facing many colleagues around me. Throughout the year, I prefer to drink Huoshan Que Tongue, Luan Guapian, Huangshan Mao Feng and Qimen Black Tea. I rarely see a potbellied and overweight figure, and I rarely see a focus of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and tea and pots began to permeate my life.
In my spare time, I like to go to the market teahouse to string together. The owner of the teahouse will invite me to sit down and have tea. On the coffee table, you can see a teapot with purple glaze or scarlet glaze. The boss put the tea leaves in the pot and then poured boiling water into it. Huo Ran, the body of the pot, has a warm luster, just like a child's face and beautiful skin. When the tea soup in the pot is put into the cup, it immediately reveals the fragrance of "tea can clear the heart". Upon inquiry, I learned that this fragrant and breathable teapot is called Yixing Zisha Pot. Maybe I took one more look at you, and I have been fascinated by Yixing teapot ever since. Go to Dingshu Town, Yixing, visit Confucius Temple in Nanjing, and go to Hubushan, Xuzhou to choose a pot for Taobao.
One pot, two pots, three pots ... The collection of teapots is increasing day by day, so we turned our attention to the handmade teapots with great literati temperament. Because I like lotus flowers that are muddy but not stained, the teapot with this theme is included in the first choice of pot selection.
I really admire the genius of Zitao artists. The clear cement lotus leaf pot of raw ore, the pot body wrapped with lotus leaves, the lotus leaf ribs are clearly explained, the pot shape is full and soft, and the mud is delicate. Make tea, the color is as smooth as ruby. The original purple mud lotus pot has both form and spirit, the dark brown lotus has clear texture, concave-convex folds, perfect lotus seeds on the base and vivid details. Small and exquisite handle pot-green mud raw ore lotus pot, the pot looks like oval jasper. On the swaying lotus leaf, a lotus flower is in full bloom. The lotus flower at the top of the curved lotus stem echoes the shallow fish in the water. The pottery carving with a knife as a pen is free and interesting ... The lotus flower that can be seen and understood seems to put me next to the lotus pond in summer, smelling the fresh and quiet light.
The carefully collected teapot has the real interest of cultural pots with endless aftertaste, only because it has the form of high and low Fiona Fang, only because it presents elegant and simple beauty, and only because it can accommodate the scenery of heaven and earth. For me, Yixing teapot contains not only tea fragrance that warms the heart and stomach, but also a beauty device that nourishes the life style and enhances the appreciation ability. Every time I look at a handful of teapots that have been treasured for a long time, the paintings, poems, lines and words attached to the pot body and the pottery charm displayed by a seal make me follow the strong tea fragrance and indulge in the whimsy of the purple sand pottery world.
At the beginning of the year, the sudden virus raged, mercilessly blocking everyone out. On the day I stayed indoors, I used the teapot to refresh myself every day and played with my fingers on the plate. Some people have the feeling that "ask knowledgeable person in the world, and the famous purple sand will meet each other." It's just that this good time of abundant tea was not bought by countless angels in white retrograde.
The day before yesterday, the provincial TV station broadcast a message: Drinking tea can effectively prevent novel coronavirus. Yes, this magical leaf, given by nature to human beings, was originally used as a medicinal effect. In ancient times, there was a saying that "tea is the medicine for all diseases". Later, it became a world-recognized healthy drink for health preservation and disease prevention. Many years ago, I drank less water and had a little basic illness. Because of my attachment to the teapot, I had to pour tea into the teapot and never leave. When drinking tea, I feel very comfortable unconsciously.
Pot serves tea, tea educates people, and "pot" and "fu" are homophonic. Since I fell in love with tea, I met Yixing teapot happily. For the rest of my life, I'd rather stay in a corner and enjoy the pot of "a good mountain, a window and a foot, beautiful scenery in four seasons" to moisten the world. This may be a leisurely and wonderful place with the highest spirit of self-care.
