He is currently studying under the famous purple sand artist, Zhou Yijuan, a famous Jiangsu arts and crafts person. He has also been a disciple of his master, Gu Jingzhou. I have benefited a lot from the guidance of Xu Hantang, a Chinese arts and crafts master, and Xu Yuanming, a Jiangsu arts and crafts master. For more than ten years, he has specialized in the exploration and creation of purple sand plain teaware, especially in imitating and customizing the classic tea products of Ming and Qing dynasties. He has an ancient and elegant style and has won many awards in major exhibitions. He is a young and talented purple clay pottery artist with great potential. 【Huanglongshan Cinnabar】 The cinnabar we talk about now is not the same as the cinnabar in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The "cinnabar" of the Ming and Qing Dynasties focused on its color, that is, the color was similar to "cinnabar", rather than the cinnabar ore. In the modern sense, "cinnabar" is a type of red clay. In addition to the similar color, it also focuses on the "quality" (sand). We call the red clay with prominent grains and strong sand texture after being made into pottery "cinnabar". The original cinnabar mud is also produced in the tender mud mine. In fact, it is a mudstone block of cinnabar mud formed due to a long weathering time, so it is called "mud rock". Zhuni is mud, and cinnabar is mudstone. Cinnabar looks like mud on the outside, but is hard as Stone on the inside. However, it disperses when it comes into contact with water. Most of the original ore is yellowish brown and contains volcanic sedimentary rocks. It is yellow with a slight red tint, has a muddy structure, and good viscosity. After being made into pottery, it has bright color, prominent particles, and a strong sandy texture. Compared with Zhuni, Zhusha has weathered for a longer time and has changed from clay to mudstone. The quartz content is richer, the shrinkage is relatively small, the firing temperature is relatively high, the cross-section is rough, the air permeability is good, and the sand texture is strong. Compared with the adjusted cinnabar, the particles of raw cinnabar are distributed more naturally and not as evenly as the adjusted cinnabar. Hot shower has a good effect and is indeed a great tool for killing tea! However, the difficulty in making it lies in the fact that the sand is coarse and heavy, it is difficult to make the needle, the sand is easy to jump during the firing process, and the thin parts and joints of the clay are relatively difficult to handle. The places where sand grains are unevenly distributed will also shrink unevenly, which can easily lead to crooked handles and buttons. Therefore, a complete product is not easy to obtain and can only be encountered by chance. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1. How to open the kettle before use Scrub the inside and outside thoroughly.
