Why use a purple clay pot to make tea, and why a purple clay pot can become the king of tea sets

1) Use a purple clay pot to make tea, the tea aroma is rich and long-lasting. The purple clay spout is small and the lid is tight, and the inner wall of the pot is rough, which can effectively prevent the aroma from being lost prematurely. The long-used purple sand teapot is hung with a layer of brown-red tea rust on the inner wall, and the longer the use time, the more tea rust accumulates on the inner wall, so the tea soup is more mellow and fragrant after brewing tea.

The long-term use of the purple sand teapot, even if you don't put tea and only pour boiling water, still has an attractive tea aroma, which is not possible with general tea sets. (2) The purple sand teapot is not glazed inside and outside, maintaining tiny pores, good air permeability, but impermeable, and has a strong adsorption force, which is incomparable to the general teapot. It can keep the aromatic oil in the tea to volatilize when heated and form a fragrant fragrance, improve the late acidity of the tea soup, and play a role in astringency and sterilization.

Therefore, it can slightly delay the mildew of tea and become rancid, the so-called "summer is not rancid", the truth is here. (3) The purple clay pot makes tea, and the heat preservation time is long. Because there are many small bubbles inside the wall of the pot, and the bubbles are filled with non-flowing air, the air is a poor conductor of heat, so the purple clay pot has good thermal insulation performance.

4) Use a purple clay pot to make tea, and it is not easy to hold it. The linear expansion coefficient of the purple clay pot is slightly higher than that of the porcelain pot, and there is no glaze, so there is no problem of billet glaze stress; After firing, the purple clay pot has very little glass, which is enough to overcome the rapid change caused by the temperature difference between cold and heat, so it has slow heat transfer. The purple sand teapot has an excellent ability to adapt to the rapid change of heat and cold, and even after steaming in the upper high temperature, it will not burst if it is quickly thrown into the ice and snow below zero.

Therefore, making tea with a purple clay pot is not easy to carry; In the cold winter, make tea with boiling water, and you don't have to worry about cracking, even if you put it on a simmer, there is no risk of bursting.

White as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like a lot" is a high praise for Chinese porcelain.

Yixing purple clay pot is a clay handicraft, but it has functional characteristics that other pottery does not have.

Because there are many essential differences between purple clay pots and porcelain:

First, from the point of view of the mud made, it is all "soil", and the mineral composition of the mud of the Yixing purple clay pot belongsIron-rich clay, quartz, mica typesPorcelain is a kind of aggregate composed of minerals such as quartz, sericite, kaolin, feldspar, etc., and its minerals contain more glass, so the shrinkage of purple sand mud is good and the plasticity is higher than that of porcelain.

Second, the purple clay potIt has a unique pore structureIt not only has good air permeability, but also can contain the fragrance of tea, so the purple clay pot is still antique, and there is no need to glaze it, so that the advantages of the purple clay pot are not comparable to other ceramic products. Porcelain must need to be glazed, and its air permeability is certainly not as good as that of purple clay pots.

Third, the purple clay potIt is incompletely sintered, and porcelain is generally completely sintered, so the hardness of the purple clay pot is not as good as porcelain, listen to the sound of the two can understand, the sound of the purple clay pot is muffled, and the porcelain is crisp and pleasant.

This is why the purple clay pot is loved by people and is very suitable for playing, its clay is delicate, caressing it like a baby's skin, which makes people love and pity. After playing for a long time, it will emit a unique luster that is not found in porcelain.

Fourth, in addition to comparison, we can compare the magnanimity of the twoThe porcelain is noble and elegant, graceful and luxurious, but intelligent and exposed; The purple clay pot unanimously adheres to the plain face and plain heart, completely dedicating its most characteristic functions to people, he is calm and introverted, wise and foolish.

Yixing purple clay pot with its simple, friendly attitude with people, not only literati and scholars love it, now more people love more and more purple clay pot, and has become the new favorite of today's collection circle.

Purple sand is a kind of ceramic products between pottery and porcelain, purple sand ware does not hang glaze, but makes full use of the natural color of the mud, the color is warm and moist after firing, quaint and lovely, the purple sand ware surface also has a matte effect, which can not only weaken the reflection of light energy, but also can clearly express the vivid effect of the form, decoration and its own natural color. The texture of purple sand pottery is simple and pure, not flattering or vulgar, and the temperament of the literati is very similar, so that the literati love to be good, to the blank as paper, or to write pot inscriptions, or to write books, or to engrave flowers, engraved with seals, to support the meaning, every time you see ingenuity.

The purple clay pot is a tea vessel that is "the first tea set in the world", and its content and form have reached a relative unity, the content is suitable, the touch is comfortable, the shape is perfect, and the beauty is generous. Generally speaking, to make black tea, it is advisable to use a darker pot, and to make green tea, it is advisable to use a lighter pot. In the spare time, when the bottom of the throat is sweet, eliminate fatigue and troubles, and appreciate the artistic conception of the wind of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, the famous mountains and beautiful waters, and the flowers and birds.

In addition to the purple sand pot has always been loved by people, the purple sand flower pot is also favored by collectors for its use and ornamental value. During the Qing Dynasty, a new style of seal carving, calligraphy and painting decoration was created. The unique reddish-brown color of Yixing purple sand pottery flower pots gives people a solemn, quaint and simple feeling.

The purple sand flower pot has ideal moisture absorption and drainage performance, because the purple sand pot does not apply glaze on the surface and inside, the strength of the knot is tough, and there is a slight water absorption, so it has slow drainage, suitable for the growth of flowers and trees, and the potted flowers are matched, poetic and pleasant, both practical and ornamental.

Because the purple teapot is very difficult to make, the tea brewed is very sweet and very tasty.

That's because. The purple clay pot is the kind of vinegar tea, which is particularly delicious and will make its taste authentic, so many people are willing to use such a pot to make tea.

Purple sand teapot, the best tea vessel. Generally speaking, as long as it is tea, choose the right purple sand teapot type, and use the right purple sand pot, which will promote a stronger tea taste and stronger tea rhyme. However, it is true that not all teas are suitable for purple sand teapots.

Tea people want to be good at their tea affairs, and they should benefit their tea utensils: this benefit refers to the tea set that can be selected purposefully to ensure that the tea can be released to the maximum extent in insight into the tea content; The tea-serving property of the tea ware is manifested in two aspects: the physical characteristics make the two levels of profit and harm avoidance.

There are too many tea people who feel subjectively: green tea leaves that are not fermented or oolong and white peony tea that are light and mellow are most afraid of continuous high temperature simmering, and the soup tastes unpleasant when the tea is ripe.

<> the original cause of tea ripening does not depend on the holding temperature of the tea set: old tea people understand that good tea is not afraid of burning, but afraid of water vapor blowing, and the culprit of ripe Pu'er tea depends on the high fever alkane number of water vapor. Among the tea sets, which can ensure air permeability in terms of physical characteristics, everyone knows that there is only a purple clay pot; You may well say that ceramics are not more breathable.

The breathability of the ceramic is good, but through the head, not only the air permeability is more permeable, but also the fragrance chemicals combined in the water are also done together.

Three of the six major tea systems in China are not suitable for purple sand teapots, and the best tea utensils for these three types of tea are glass teacups or gaiwan tea setsGreen tea: green tea is mellow, although the purple sand teapot can also make green tea, but it is not preferred, because its high temperature will make the tea lose its mellowness, lose the actual meaning of drinking tea, green tea with glass teacup or thin tire cover bowl tea set is a good choice, drink good taste, but also appreciate the beauty of tea soup; Yellow Tea:

It is the same as the working principle of green tea, which is suitable for glass teacups or gaiwan tea sets, especially Junshan silver needles are very suitable for brewing in glass cups, and you can also appreciate the performance of tea in water. White peony tea: White tea is a slightly semi-fermented tea, which must be brewed in the pot for a longer time, but the first-class white peony tea is more fresh and tender, not suitable for simmering, and it is better to use a glass teacup. Such as white silver needles.

Tea with a low degree of fermentation and high tenderness is not suitable for brewing in a purple clay pot, such as green tea, yellow tea, flower tea, Pu'er raw tea, etc., which will simmer the tea leaves. The purple clay pot has good heat retention and a unique double porous structure, which is very suitable for simmering tea, so the purple clay pot is only suitable for brewing tea with a high degree of fermentation and mature texture.

Green tea, black tea, jasmine tea, yellow tea, and Pu'er raw tea are not suitable for brewing in a purple clay pot; The characteristics of purple clay pot brewing are that the tea fermentation is relatively high and the texture is relatively mature.

Green tea, white tea, yellow tea, and three types of tea cannot be brewed with a purple clay pot, otherwise it will reduce the freshness of the tea; The tea aroma is rich and long-lasting, and the small mouth cover of the purple clay pot is rough along the inner wall, which can prevent the aroma from being lost prematurely, and will make the tea soup have a unique fragrance.

The teapot has a good flavor preservation function and can make tea without losing the original flavor; The old tea that has been brewed will not deteriorate, and the more you can't sleep in the summer; It has withstood the drastic changes of cold and heat, all of which are brought about by the excellent quality of purple sand. Purple clay has good plasticity, is highly plastic, up to, can be processed into different shapes at will. In practice, purple sand is more malleable than other ceramic materials or clay, and has a wide range of molding.

Unlike ordinary clay, it is not easy to deform after high-temperature firing, and the shrinkage rate of the finished product and the green body is only 10%.

Purple sand mud has good plasticity, which is manifested in strong adhesion, but does not stick to workers and hands. For example, the mouth and handle can be made separately, and then glued to the body of the pot, and then carved with clay. The clay flakes of square ware can be bonded with grease (with more water) and then processed.

Such a large process capacity provides a material guarantee for the potters to fully express their creative intentions and display their craft skills.

The inside and outside of the teapot are not glazed, which has a harmonizing effect on the tea soup. It can not only give full play to the aroma of tea, but also can be safely stored for a long time. The rate of decay is much slower than that of glass.

A teapot is more fragrant than a glass cup for tea. Brew tea twice at the same time with a teapot and a glass. After the glass is slowly soaked, there is no smell and the color no longer changes.

The tea flavor of the purple clay pot is still spreading, and the color can continue to change. The teapot has a certain bactericidal effect. The bactericidal effect of the purple clay pot is mainly because after the tea leaves are brewed for a long time, there is a certain acidity of the tea leaves in the purple clay pot, which can inhibit the growth rate of bacteria.

That's why we often say that teapots don't spoil overnight. The teapot also keeps warm very well. Compared with porcelain or glassware, the clay of the purple clay pot has many pores, and the thermal conductivity of heat in the vacuum is particularly poor, so the thermal insulation effect of the purple clay pot is better than that of porcelain or glassware.

The good plasticity and adhesive ability of purple sand mud are the main reasons why it is conducive to process decoration. Secondly, the firing temperature of purple sand is also very wide, from 1190 degrees Celsius to 1270 degrees Celsius. At present, the firing temperature is controlled at about 1200 degrees Celsius, which is another reason why purple sand products do not leak or age, and the more they are used, the more shiny they are.

It is a unique handmade clay handicraft in China, which has strong attributes and practicality, is easy to clean, and has high plasticity; Compared with other tea containers, the tea brewed in the purple clay pot does not lose the tea aroma, and it is particularly rich, and the drying shrinkage rate is relatively small.

The inner wall of the purple sand spout is rough, which can effectively prevent the aroma from being dissipated prematurely, and has strong adsorption, good air permeability, and impermeability; Using a purple clay pot to make tea can make the tea hold longer and make the aroma of the tea richer and longer.

The plasticity of the purple clay pot is very good, and it can be processed into a variety of shapes. It is not easy to make tea in a purple clay pot, which can maintain the original taste of tea, and the appearance is also very high, which will make the tea very fragrant.

The plasticity is relatively good, particularly beautiful, the shape is more beautiful, and it is more heavy than other containers, with a unique beauty.

Of course not. The differences mainly include the following five aspects:Clay, modeling, molding process, payment, function

1. Mud

Generally, the mud used to make the purple sand cup is an outer mountain material, or it is simply the purple sand mud pretended to be clay, which does not have or destroys the structure of the purple sand double pores.

Most of the mud used in making purple sand pots are raw ore materials, or raw ore mud sand blending to make oak simple, with the double pore structure of purple sand, good air permeability, and there will be luster changes after tea nourishment.

2. Modeling

The difference between the shape of the purple sand cup and the purple clay pot is simply the difference between cloud and mud.

No matter how the former turns over the flower head, its shape can't get out of this circle, and the one who can use his brain can also be decorated, which is inevitably noisy. The shape of the purple clay pot is much more varied, and there are a variety of decorative techniques such as seal carving and appliqué, and the cultural significance behind it is also more profound.

3. Molding process

The purple sand cup is mostly molded by locomotive or grouting, and does not need or rarely uses hand to make. It is not excluded that the handmade purple sand cup, but the purple sand cup of this production mode cannot meet the needs of mass production.

The purple clay pot can not be made in batches with the help of a machine, even if it is a semi-manual pot, it is only formed with the help of molds, and the subsequent details such as bright needles still need to spend a lot of time and energy to complete.

The purple sand pot made by locomotive or grout is not discussed because it has lost its mud characteristics, or it is not authentic purple sand mud at all.

4. Payment

Most of the purple sand cups are not signed, and there is also a bottom seal printed with "China Yixing", which does not have copyright protection beam base pants. The purple clay pot is mostly signed in the name of the maker, and some cooperation models will have two or three authors' bottom money, and you can also use modern digital means to trace the source, and the copyright protection is stronger.

5. Function

The purple sand cup can only be drunk by one person, and there is no social nature of sharing, while the purple sand pot is different, the same pot of tea can be shared with multiple guests to drink, promote communication and interaction, and narrow the distance between people.
