How to attract the attention of young people has become a common issue in all walks of life.
Porcelain and art categories are no exception.
Therefore, there are more cute tea pets here.
For example, bionic tea pets, the inspiration for making bionic tea pets comes from living organisms.
Craftsmen use exquisite skills to restore life, so that they look like real objects and are almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Like a snail, this also has a beautiful meaning.
The snail symbolizes stability, unremitting pursuit of happiness, non-competition in everything, humility and tolerance, and strong vitality.
Then there is the most classic longevity peach. Everyone knows the meaning of this. The longevity peach represents longevity in our Chinese tradition.
Whenever an elderly person celebrates his or her birthday, the children of the elderly should give birthday peaches to the elderly to wish them good health, longevity and happiness.
People in the old days believed that old people would become younger and live longer if they ate longevity peaches.
Among the people, people use peaches to pray for blessings, and the longevity balls are called longevity peaches.
It is always indispensable in birthday banquets. In traditional New Year pictures, birthday peaches are even more expressive.
Some other bionic tea pets include Jiuzhen fruit, eggs, etc.
Since you want to please people, you can't stick to the rules.
Therefore, some interesting tea pets appeared.
Fun tea pets are mainly for fun.
The active atmosphere is mostly seen in water-spraying tea pets.
There are also tea pets that make sounds and color-changing tea pets.
They are mainly about fun and entertainment.
The production of water-spraying tea pets is relatively delicate.
Generally, the tea pet is poured with boiling water for a while. The purpose is to discharge the air in the tea pet using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
Then immediately put it into cold water, and then use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to suck the cold water in.
Finally, take it out, pour it with boiling water, and then spray water.
This is actually equivalent to landscaping, that is, creating a landscape.
These are all for fun, while some tea pets have practical functions.
Practical tea pet, in addition to viewing and entertaining, it also has certain practicality.
According to different needs, different modeling features are designed.
Then use artistic means to express its connotation, which runs through the spirit and expression of the tea pet.
These tea pets are often treated with pulp to make it easier to pour tea.
For example, pen holders, tea colanders, pot holders, lid holders, incense holders, hydroponic porcelain, etc.
Especially the last hydroponic porcelain, which is both a flower pot for hydroponic plants and a tea pet, is an alternative representative of multi-purpose.
"If teacups weren't irreplaceable, maybe these tea pets would be better sold than teacups."
After all, tea pets are small devices. No matter how many types there are, they are still relatively simple in the end.
Of course, it is more difficult to make the work vivid and realistic.
That's a master craftsmanship that ordinary people can't do.
Since ordinary people can't do very well, they can only do average things.
Therefore, there are not many people making tea pets, but the output is really not low.
As for the main products of Yi Niantang Ceramics Factory, apart from teapots, tea cups are the most popular.
Otherwise, Chen Xingchen wouldn't have led the conversation and moved closer to the teacup.
Now that he has reached the teacup production line, Chen Wenzhe doesn't mind taking a look.
He has made too many teacups himself, and the ones he has made are all exquisite.
He has made celadon teacups, wine glasses such as wine glasses, and Twelve Flower God Cups.
Now, Chen Xingchen has formed a complete industrial chain for teacups.
It can be said that there are all kinds of tea cups here.
Chen Wenzhe could see that there were some of the oldest teacups here, as well as masterpieces from every dynasty in later generations.
He has never made some of the cups here, but he knows about them.
He simply lets it go
Many, such as some works after the Tang and Song Dynasties.
For example, the Han-Jin ear cup is the earliest tea cup in China.
During the Han Dynasty, tea drinking became more and more popular. At this time, the more famous tea cup was the ear cup, also known as the feather cup.
It was the cup used by Wang Xizhi when he wrote the song "Shui Liu Shang" when the Orchid Pavilion was being renovated.
The ear cups made of wooden lacquerware flow down the stream from the upper reaches and stop randomly in front of the tea drinkers sitting on both sides of the river.
Whoever drinks this glass of lucky water will receive the auspicious buff that can eliminate disasters.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was the tea pot.
Tea culture was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and people drank tea in the form of sencha.
They grind the tea cake into powder, add onions, ginger, salt and other seasonings, and boil it in water. This is no different from drinking soup.
In order to facilitate drinking tea, cups during this period were mostly wide-mouthed and generally large in volume. In short, they looked like bowls.
Tea pots are one of the most typical tea sets in the Tang Dynasty. They are divided into two types: jade wall base and flower mouth.
The tea pot with a jade wall bottom has a thin, flat rim and a wide outside, and a wide and thick bottom wall with a shallow base.
On the other hand, the rim of the flower mouth is often in the shape of a five-petal flower, the waist and abdomen are stamped into a five-petal melon ribbed abdomen, and the foot ring is slightly outward.
A porcelain cup filled with boiling hot tea soup would inevitably be hot to the touch, so people in the Tang Dynasty added a tray under the cup. This can be regarded as the predecessor of the tureen in later generations.
In the Song Dynasty, it was naturally a lamp.
In the Song Dynasty, tea fighting was very popular, and everyone from the royal family to the peddlers and servants took tea tasting and tea fighting as a fashion.
They crushed the tea powder, mixed it into a paste, and put it into a tea cup.
Then, while pouring water, stir the tea in the tea cup until white foam appears.
The black tea cup is good for observing the color of tea and the tea foam. It is the best instrument to directly reflect the results of tea fighting, and it is the origin of the tea cup in later generations.
In the Yuan Dynasty, it was the Gaozubei.
The people on horseback are enthusiastic and generous, cutting out the complex and simplifying it. They just throw the dried tea leaves into the water and boil them.
The tea soup obtained in this way can not only relieve thirst, but also has a mellow aroma.
The goblet became popular only in the Yuan Dynasty, because the nobles at that time found that this cup was easy to hold while singing and drinking on horseback.
Whether it's a large-scale migration or a battlefield, this goblet is always indispensable on horseback.
By the Ming Dynasty, hand-pressed cups appeared.
The tea ceremony techniques of the Ming Dynasty followed the path of returning to nature, brewing and drinking.
The innovation in the way of drinking tea has also led to the rise of a number of tea utensils suitable for brewing tea and making it easier to appreciate the tea soup.
Yongle of Ming Dynasty pressed the cup in his hand and reached the peak after his debut.
The edge of the mouth that is turned outward is pressed against the tiger's mouth of the hand.
The falling cup body falls into the palm of the hand and feels full in the hand.
The open shape makes it easy to observe the tea color and smell the tea aroma.
The thickened carcass and raised legs slow down the heat conduction speed of the back body, so the tea soup will not be hot or cool too quickly.
It is indeed Emperor Yongle who combined the favorites of tea drinkers from past generations to create this thing.
In the Qing Dynasty, life became more luxurious, so more exquisite and perfect tureens appeared.
In the Qing Dynasty’s tea drinking habits, simplicity and elegance were still the mainstream.
But compared with other tea sets, gaiwans were particularly popular among the Qing Dynasty people and became a major feature of Qing Dynasty tea sets.
This is a tureen consisting of three parts: lid, cup, and support.
It combines making tea and tasting tea.
The upper cover is not only dust-proof, and the design of the skimmer and saucer also prevents hands from being burned, which is extremely convenient.
Therefore, the disciples of the Eight Banners held the birdcage in their left hand and the tureen in their right hand. They were very happy.
