Teapots are containers with mouths for making and pouring tea. It is a tea set, mainly used for making tea. The teapot consists of four parts: lid, body, bottom and feet. The cover has holes, buttons, seats, covers and other details. The pot body has mouth, lip wall, mouth, flower, belly, shoulder, handle, wrench and other parts. Because of the subtle differences in the handle, lid, bottom and shape of teapot, there are 200 basic forms of teapot.
When making tea, the size of the teapot depends on the number of people who drink tea. Teapots have many textures. Zisha pots are made of purple clay pottery or porcelain. Related classic famous sentence: "One device is famous only for tea, and the guests are full of tea." At the beginning of 2002, Mr. Ji Hansheng, a famous contemporary folk inventor, took an extraordinary interest in the art of making pots.
In order to have a deep understanding of the famous art of making pots in Ming Dynasty, he lived in Dingshu Town, Yixing for 14 months, especially fantasizing about making a traditional art work of making pots that reflects the style of the times. He devoted nearly ten years of energy and finally created a "loong pot" which can brew two kinds of tea at the same time.
Maintenance method of teapot:
1. Rub the surface of the teapot with a clean towel to polish the dirty color on the surface again. 2-3 hours a day. Don't leave the tea soup on the pot surface. Over time, the surface of the pot will be covered with tea dirt and disfigured, which is a taboo for wine tasters.
2. After a week, there will be red marks on the surface, all of which gradually form the patina bottom layer, and the color of the teapot becomes lighter with time.
Leave the teapot for a week and let it dry naturally. At the same time, the surface is in uniform contact with air, forming a fine and uniform oxide protective layer.
4. Start the handwheel. At this time, your hands must have just been washed and dried. Please don't wash dishes directly with sweaty hands. You can put them on the plate for about 30 minutes every day. After a week or two, you can feel the sticky feeling of the teapot, which has actually formed a thin patina.
5. Soak salt every week, according to salt15g and water 500g. Because the dead skin tissue of human body is easy to attach to the teapot, it will breed fungi, and finally acidification will make the teapot brittle and crack. When salt melts, it can produce hypochlorous acid and destroy fungi.
