In 1996, he entered a professional technical arts and crafts school for further study. He learned the design and production of purple clay from the arts and crafts artist Feng Boming, and received careful guidance from the provincial master Fan Hongquan, and his teapot-making skills improved by leaps and bounds. During this period, he went to Nanjing University of the Arts for further studies, focusing on systematic study of form design.

Flowing Lines and Vivid Charm

In 2000, he founded the "Min Xin Zhai" purple clay studio and became a new generation of well-known teapot-making artists in the pottery capital. On the basis of inheriting the traditional craftsmanship, the teapot art works focus on the overall matching, flowing lines and vivid charm. They have unique personal style and strong Chinese spirit.

Iron Mica Sand Particles
The original ore clay contains rich minerals that are beneficial to the human body. There may be black, yellow, and silver particles on the surface of the pot. This is because the clay shrinks after high temperature. The traces of iron sand particles are representative of the original ore clay, not defects.
Opening the Teapot
Wash the kiln sand and dust on the pot with clean water, fill the pot with boiling water and pour it over the pot body three times. Soak the teapot in hot water or tea for about half an hour to remove any residual heat and make the teapot more mellow. After soaking, dry the teapot with a cloth and place it upside down on a tea tray to air dry.
Teapot Maintenance
Normal brewing and maintenance, dark clay is best to brew tea with dark tea soup (such as black tea and Pu'er) and light clay with light tea soup (such as white tea, raw tea, green tea). After each use, wipe the pot body with a semi-dry soft cloth and wait for the next use. Over time, a patina will gradually form on the surface of the teapot.
Flower Mud
The clay of the pot body with a small part of different colors is flower mud. In fact, it is the color difference of the selected clay material oxidized in advance after the production is completed. This phenomenon only occurs in the original ore clay. If chemical ingredients are added, there will be no sealing glaze. It will disappear or decrease after long-term soaking.

The Differences between Full-Handmade and Semi-Handmade

Full-handmade and semi-handmade purple clay pots have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be simply said which one is better or worse. When buying a purple clay pot, you should choose according to your personal needs and preferences. For some tea lovers who need to show their personality and uniqueness, a full-handmade purple clay pot may be more suitable, while for some tea lovers who focus on practicality and affordable prices, a semi-handmade purple clay pot may be more suitable.

Manifestation of Traditional Handicrafts

The production process of purple clay pots is unique. Whether it is full-handmade or semi-handmade, it is a manifestation of traditional handicrafts. We should respect the hard work of every artist and pay attention to the quality of the purple clay pots they make, rather than simply judging their value by the production process. At the same time, with the advancement of science and technology and the process of industrialization, traditional handicrafts are facing greater challenges. We should cherish traditional culture, support the development of traditional handicrafts, and let this ancient art be passed on.
