Influenced by his parents from a young age, he was immersed in the culture of clay and developed a deep interest in Zisha pottery. After graduating from university, he returned to study Zisha pottery, building a solid foundation and mastering the skills of Zisha pot design and fully handmade pot crafting. Under the guidance of his mentors Liu Youliang, Wang Jigang, and Senior Arts and Crafts Master Zhu Zhifen, his works possess a rustic texture and profound charm, deeply embodying the essence of traditional pot artistry. His handmade pots come in various sizes; larger ones exude a robust spirit, while smaller ones fit perfectly in the palm. They are crafted with varying degrees of refinement, from coarse finishes that reveal the clay's texture to fine finishes with a subtle sheen. Later, under the tutelage of Arts and Crafts Master Xu Ximing, he explored and learned, achieving further advancements in the realm of floral-themed pieces. His designed creations primarily follow traditional styles, presenting an overall aesthetic that is elegant, generous, and highly artistic, ornamental, and practical. The craftsmanship is meticulous and upright, with natural and flowing lines. Each piece embodies the artist's heart and intention. His unique style is highly favored and collected by Zisha enthusiasts both domestically and internationally. 【National Class Arts and Crafts Master Qian Qi】 Both the master and his wife are hearing and speech impaired. His wife diligently crafts the pots, while he meticulously carves them. They strive towards their goals for the sake of their livelihood and ideals. They have overcome more challenges than others to reach this point! Their spirit is truly admirable. 【Huanglong Mountain Zhu Ni Da Hong Pao】 Selected from the raw Zhu Ni ore, this clay is fine-grained, uniform in particle size, pure in color, and has a moderate iron content. Firing temperature: 1166°C, Shrinkage rate: 28% When Zhu Ni is mentioned, people immediately think of (Xiao Meiyao Zhu Ni, Zhao Zhuang Zhu Ni). However, there is another type of Huanglong Mountain Zhu Ni, which has a relatively smaller ore yield and a heavier sandy texture. Its characteristic is that the longer it is used and seasoned, the richer and more apparent the texture on the pot's surface becomes, similar to the jade-like patina effect of Benshan Green Clay. The flavor transformation of the tea brewed in this pot is distinctly different from Zhu Ni from the other two regions. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1. How to prepare the pot before use? Clean the inside and outside thoroughly. A dish sponge is recommended; do not use chemical agents. Simply rinse with water, and it is ready for use. 2. How to season the pot? After each use, keep it clean and dry to prevent tea stains. Place it in a well-ventilated area after use. If storing it in the box for a long period, allow it to air dry naturally for 1-2 months to ensure sufficient evaporation of moisture from the pores, otherwise, it may develop mold. 3. How to clean tea stains or mold? Soak with enzyme cleaner. 4. How to properly warm the pot? When the weather is cold or if the pot has not been used for a long time, use 40°C warm water to pour over the inside and outside of the pot, then fill the pot. This allows the Zisha pores to fully absorb moisture. 5. How to care for pieces with engravings? For pots with engravings, it is recommended to clean them with a soft brush. 6.
