Question 2: How to identify the advantages and disadvantages of authentic Zisha pots? Some unscrupulous pot dealers use inferior sand clay in the production process, in order to cover up the unevenness of the color of the inferior sand clay, they add all kinds of chemical additives to the inferior sand clay, but after adding hot water, these inferior zisha pots will emit a chemical flavor. What is authentic zisha, zisha clay raw material properties, chemical composition, molecular structure, water absorption, air permeability, zisha pot bubble, tea injection function, pot shape, color color, craft skills, and decorative means, artistic style, celebrity masterpieces, history, appreciation of zisha, but also shallow, but also deep, but also metaphysical, but also the God, the key lies in how you enter the door of the appreciation of the pot to be added to the experience. Zisha pots have always been divided into four grades: daily necessities pots (i.e., road goods), crafts pots (i.e., fine goods), special art (i.e., the work of celebrities and famous artists), works of art (works rich in artistic life). It is summarized by the five-word method: "clay, shape, work, style and work". The first four words belong to the standard of art, and the last word is the standard of work. First, "mud", purple clay pots famous in the world, certainly inseparable from its production techniques, but the fundamental reason is that the special superior performance of purple clay is more important, many ceramic monographs analyzing the raw materials of purple sand, are said to contain iron oxide composition, in fact, contains iron oxide mud, more than one place in the country, but elsewhere on the production of purple sand, there can only be Purple mud, which explains the key does not lie in iron oxide, but in the purple sand "sand" word. According to the analysis of modern science, the molecules of alabaster mud is different from other mud, is the same alabaster mud its structure is not the same, due to the raw material oil, bring the function of the utility to the person's official feeling is not the same, so evaluate the merits of a alabaster pot, first of all, it should be the merits of the quality of alabaster mud. The second is "shape". Zisha pot shape, is the survival of the most abundant in the vessel, there is a square is not a style, round is not the same as the praise. How to evaluate these shapes is also "benevolent" "wise", because the social function of art is to meet people's psychological needs. Since there are a variety of people, there will be a variety of psychological, that is, generous love of generous, clean love of clean, ancient love of ancient, like to play the love of fun, people love, can not be forced, the author believes that the best ancient, because zisha pots are part of the whole of the tea culture, it is the pursuit of the mood, should be the mood of the pursuit of the Way of Tea, Tea Road, the pursuit of the mood of the "calm and calm The tea ceremony pursues the mood of "calmness and peace", "transcendence and secularism". And the ancient and clumsy and this atmosphere is the most harmonious, so the ancient and clumsy for the best. Zisha pot shape all by feeling, making pots talk about the same kind, such as potential, according to the shape of the science is "balanced". Speak a lot of profound theory is likely to speak more and more unclear. Not a famous proverb, can only be understood, can not be said, the feeling of art all rely on the heart of the **** Ming, the understanding of the heart, that is, the so-called "heart of the heart, a little bit of communication". Third, "work". Art has a lot of common place, Chinese painting of the capitalization, belongs to the ranks of the bold, and zisha pot shaping techniques and Chinese painting of the brush technique, has the same work of the wonderful, is also very strict, such as the point, line, surface is composed of zisha pot shape of the basic elements, in the process of molding of the pot, must be clear, as if the brush painting, pen, pen, turn and twist, suppression of the Yangtengshu must be delivered clearly. The surface must be light is light, must be hairy is hairy; line must be straight is straight, must be curved is curved; point must be square is square, must be round is round, can't have half a bit of thought. Otherwise, it can not be considered a qualified Zisha pot. In accordance with the special requirements of the molding process of zisha pots, the mouth of the pot and the wrench should be absolutely in a straight line, and the weight should be balanced; the mouth of the pot and the lid should be tightly combined. These are all handmade requirements. Fourth, "paragraph". The paragraph is the pot's recognition. Appreciation of zisha pots have two layers of meaning, one layer of meaning is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of pots, pots, pot makers, inscriptions, engraved with the author of who, another layer of meaning is to appreciate the content of the inscription on the surface of the zisha pots, engraved with the connotation of painting and calligraphy and prints. Purple decorative art is also a part of the traditional Chinese decorative arts, it has the traditional "poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing" four bit one of the significant features, so appreciate a purple sand pot in addition to look at the neurological quality of clay color, shape, the production of kung fu, and literature, calligraphy, painting, gold and stone and so on. So an appreciation of zisha pots can bring people more and more beautiful enjoyment. Fifth, "work". The so-called work refers to the beauty of the function of the pot. In recent years. Zisha pots of new products are endless, but some production artists only pay attention to the beauty of the shape and often ignore the phenomenon of functional leap from time to time, some fair and directly affect the function of the play of this pot, the Zisha pot will even appear in the situation of the "look is not useful". In fact, the biggest difference between zisha pots and other works of art should be in zisha pots have a strong practicality. Its "art" is all in the "use", "product" if the meaning of the loss of use. "Art" also no longer exists, so a thousand ...... >>
Question 3: May I ask, how to identify a good or bad Zisha pot? First, the mouth does not salivate.
When pouring tea, tea is not allowed to have a little bit of down the mouth of the pot to flow down. Salivation is serious can not be allowed, but too radical on a bit of a bull's-eye, many pots because of the shape of the whole pot and decided that the mouth of the pot can not be done without salivation, to synthesize, not because of a tiny bit of salivation and shot, in that case, do the zisha pot masters will have to change careers.
Bao Minxia: "A Shocker"
Second, the mouth does not salivate.
refers to the pouring of tea when the tea can not flow from the mouth of the pot, in fact, many Zisha pots can not do this; to meet this standard is not equal to a good pot; a little salivation is not equal to a bad pot; here in addition to personal habits related to the use of the pot, but also with the pot type is quite different.
Third, watertight.
By pressing the ventilation holes to control the flow of tea and stop, can do to put free is the pursuit of many pot friends, the actual use of the actual use of few people to press the ventilation holes to control the release of tea, the use of quite uncomfortable, and there are quite a lot of pots are not press the ventilation holes, such as the stone scoop.
Fourth, the water on the pot, dry fast is good material.
When you buy zisha pots, you can do some experiments, generally dripping water on zisha pots, dry fast will be better than the price.
Fifth, full handmade zisha pots than half handmade pots.
Full handmade is a traditional craft, very test of the author's skills, and half hand-formed zisha pots are fine constantly; can not be a piece of words.
Six, three points and one level.
Zisha pot cover removed, upside down on the desktop, pot mouth, mouth, pot handle three points is at the same level is a good pot, once on TV to see an "expert" is to teach experience. According to this standard to choose zisha pots, masters should be laid off.
Seven, three points a straight line.
This issue was originally written specifically a blog to discuss. Some friends as a standard strict requirements, there is no worse, do the master of the purple sand pots to be angry to spit blood.
Eight, cover dense seamless.
Some friends are quite concerned about the gap between the sub-mouth and the mouth of the alabaster pots, choose the alabaster pots always shake the lid, if you can shake the distance of a little bit immediately negate the value of this pot, always hope that the lid cover is not moving at all. If there is no gap between the mouth and the mouth of the pot, think about whether it will work well? As long as there is a little bit of tea in the mouth of the pot, the lid can not be closed, to remove the lid is also an annoying thing.
Question 4: How to see the good and bad purple sand pot How to see the good and bad purple sand pot? How to select a good Zisha pot should have what conditions? In addition to personal subjective preferences (some people love flowers, some people love square pots) as a starting point, you can judge the following criteria: the shape of the pot structure: a pot needs to be completed by a combination of multiple parts. Whether the combination is ideal, in line with the physical properties, is the basic elements of the judgment of the pot. The following three elements of the teapot spout, handle, body three parts of the combination to be described.
Three points in a straight line,: the pot's mouth (spout), handle, knob must be in a straight line, in other words, that is, the three points should be straight (except for a few special shapes).
Proportion should be proportional: the proportion of each part of the combination, should strive to be proportional, and at the same time, to show a generous sense of space.
Water out of the water smoothly, light grip: the spout must be smooth, when holding the handle of the pot, the grip sense to strive for light, no effort.
A sense of one-piece molding: spout and body, handle and body connection parts, to deal with very natural, without any cracks, like a one-piece molding.
The appearance of the teapot:
The appearance of the teapot can be considered from various aspects.
Aesthetics: In recent years, there has been a wide range of teapot forms on the market, tall or short, round or flat, geometric or fruity. However, everyone has their own aesthetic point of view, so there is no standard for beauty, as long as it is to your liking.
Center of gravity should be stable: lift the teapot by hand whether it feels smooth? The center of gravity is just right? End to see the pot body and handle design is accurate. When you buy a new pot, you may want to ask the seller to fill the pot with about 3/4 of the pot's water capacity. Lift the teapot with a flat hand, slowly pouring water, if the feeling is very smooth, that is, the center of gravity of the pot is moderate, stable, is a good pot. If you need to lift the teapot with a firm grip on the handle to be able to smooth, that is to say that the weight of the main position of the pot is not right. In addition to a stable center of gravity, the left and right sides of the pot need to be proportional. When grabbing the lid, the mouth of the pot should be flat and round.
Out of the water needs to be urgent, long, round: first of all, the water should be straight and strong, the water beam is long and round, and at the same time, when pouring the pot of water, if you can make the pot drip, that is to say it is a good pot.
The lid, the body of the pot closely match: the higher the tightness of the lid and the body of the pot, the more will not make the loss of tea aroma, the lid and the body of the pot closely match the teapot is a good pot. Pot cover and pot body tightness test method is, teapot water about 1/2-3/4, with the index finger tight pressure on the lid of the air holes, pour the pot of water to see if the drip does not flow that is, that is to say, the two tightness is very high; in addition, with the index finger tight pressure on the teapot pot spout, inverted the pot body, if the tightness of the pot is enough, the pot cover will not fall off.
Secondly, the bottom of the pot is smooth and neat, and the drop is also neat. Usually a pot will have at least two or more seals, mostly on the bottom of the pot, the lid, or the handle.
Teapot quality:
Teapots are hand-pulled, dug and grouted, and the value of each varies somewhat. The layman is difficult to judge from the appearance of what belongs to. At this point, may wish to grab the lid, carefully scrutinize the internal situation of the pot can be understood. Generally speaking, hand-pulled bad more rough, digging plastic pots will leave traces of knife carving, grouting pots will have mold marks. As to determine its good or bad, you can start from two aspects, that is, look at the color and listen to the sound.
Look at the color: according to connoisseurs, the color of the teapot to smooth and moist for the best, a good teapot, the color of the soil tire presented by the smooth feeling, indeed very charming.
Listen to the sound: teapots due to different firing, the hardness will be more or less different, and thus the sound is crisp and resonant or cloudy and sluggish points. There is no standard for a better sound or a better muddy sound. However, according to most connoisseurs, a pot with a clearer and more resonant sound is more suitable for brewing fermented tea with high aroma, while a pot with a more turbid and sluggish sound is suitable for brewing heavily fermented tea with a low flavor.
The way to recognize the body of the pot is to put the pot flat on the palm of your left hand, and flick the body of the pot with your right index finger.
One point that must be particularly emphasized here is that Yixing clay contains quartz components, so made of teapots, put in the light to look at, can be seen in a little bit of gold, which is not a feature of clay in other places.
Question 5: How to identify the good and bad Yixing Zisha pots Then how to identify the good and bad Zisha pots have become a matter of great concern to all of us, the Art Banquet Mall for you to provide a few suggestions to look at the pots, I hope to be able to help collectors. 1, the color of the pots are particularly bright, bright, do not look! (Basic chemical material, nature colorful bright color is a warning color 2, hold in the hand without a sense of weight do not see! Real Zisha pot weight. (Fake material, of course, some thin-fiber pots are lighter, but I generally prefer to kill by mistake! (The main thing is to think that the use of thin tire pot to be very careful, easy to touch the bad) 3, the pot of strange colors do not look! (green, copper green, very red are added chemicals) 4, the pot surface water color is good to be careful, if the pot is not soaked and raised, it looks like the water color is very good, this pot try not to! A situation is mud fine, pulp mud. Pot surface pulp thick, look at the particles of the pot are wrapped in a layer of surface pulp, or more originally see the particles, such a "mud pot" do not, because the permeability of the greatly discounted, lose the flavor of alabaster, alabaster pots should focus on the "sand" sense. The second situation is that the mud contains chemical material, refining mud when added to the "Mang Powder", made of pot water color is good, the pot color is uniform. 5, look at the original ore particles should be clear. Some add chemical material pot, chemical material will be wrapped in particles, particles look unclear analysis (need to use 20-30 times magnification to see). 6, the original pot is impurities, and impurities are quite a lot of it, these impurities are not just iron. These impurities are usually manifested as black particles, uneven distribution in the surface of the pot, so many of the real original pots out of the kiln is more difficult to see, look too clean and uniform pots need to be careful. 7, Zisha pots should have a sense of granularity, the original pot particles are clearer, cleaner. The original mine particles look uneven distribution, more natural, and different sand adjustment. Sand particles are generally "floating" on the surface of the pot, or these sand inside and outside the penetration, but the particles are characterized by a more uniform distribution, there is a feeling of manipulation. Raw ore particles in the mud is more "harmonious", sand particles appear to be more "hard" some. 8, knocking pots to listen to the sound, the sound of zisha pots should be more "muffled" the kind of pot sound, if the knocking heard is "ting" the sound of porcelain, such pots do not touch. Listen to the sound is to identify the pot firing temperature, "ting" sound is the sound of pot porcelain, generally pulp pots or fake pots (chemical material). 9, air permeability can not be done to test the sufficient conditions for the original mine Zisha pot, some of the material pots are also air permeability. The market price of a real Zisha pot in two or three hundred to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Contemporary zisha pot titan Gu Jingzhou pot price is the most expensive, Zhu Kexin, He Daohong, Tan Quanhai, Jiang Rong, Wang Yinxian, Xu Xiutang, Bao Zhiqiang, Zhou Guizhen, Li Changhong, Gu Shaopei and so on pots are also very valuable.

Gu Tao Xishi willow, and full of grass spitting out the message of spring Hui Haiqin Rui lion dance pot Rui lion dance pot for the rare art collection
Question six: how to distinguish between good and bad Zisha pots? How to maintain it? A look at the mud color. Zisha mud mainly purple mud, green mud and red mud three. Because of the different ratios of mud, you can also get the purple, chestnut color, begonia red, etc., so the purple sand clay is also known as "five colors of soil". Which are the best mud color and no fixed method, but must pay attention to, some of the mud mixed with a lot of fossil fuels, the use of harmful substances may seep out.
Second look at the texture effect. Because the purple sand pots are generally not glazed, relying on the plain face and heart to communicate with the tea man, then the texture effect has become one of the appearance of the selected standards. Some are as delicate as a baby's skin, stroking the feelings of love; some are mixed into the raw material in the clinker, fired on the surface of the pot appeared in the effect of orange peel, childish out of the lovely. The most taboo is the surface of the artificial paste wax pigment pots. The pot is coated with ink filled with tea dirt.
Three look at the art of modeling. Zisha pots have two main categories: one for the flower goods is to pay for the object of tracing, to deform and exaggerate the method of production. The second is light goods, that is, different geometric forms as the basis for modeling.
1, the smoothness and compactness of the mouth cover.
After getting a Zisha pot, gently rotate the lid, if there is no obstruction in the process of rotating the lid, it means that the first pass is over.
Due to the nature of zisha, there will be some gaps between the lid and the mouth, but these must be within the normal range. We said the mouth cover compact degree is to pour water when the tea overflow as a standard, a little overflow of water is very normal, if with the action of pouring water, tea from the mouth cover a lot of overflow, this is a serious substandard.
2, the smoothness of the water and the decisiveness of the water break
Due to the different types of pots, the roundness of the water may not necessarily be the same, but the smoothness will not change because of the type of pot. The water break will not be less decisive because of the different shapes of pots, but after doing the water break, there may be a tiny amount of water rushing out of the spout with the force of the impulse, which is acceptable, but of course, it is better to have a trickle of water.
3, the pot's ventilation
Blow with your mouth against the spout, put your finger on the pot hole, if there is breath coming out of the pot hole, then it shows that the pot's ventilation is very good. Ventilation, the smoothness of the water and the decisiveness of the water break are connected, if you are on the scene on the pot, you can simply blow on the spout to identify.
4, the identification of alabaster clay
Chinese medicine is expected, smell, ask, cut four diagnostic methods, identify alabaster clay can be used to look, smell, listen, cut four methods.
1) look: real alabaster clay although colorful, but not bright, there is a dull light, not bright, we can "look" out of the alabaster clay color is too colorful, whether the oil gloss.
2) smell: new pots generally only dusty fire, and no other flavor. After a little soaking and nurturing of the Zisha pot will have a light tea aroma.
3) listen: the general use of the lid in the mouth of the pot gently crossed, if it is a real zisha pot, the sound should be as resonant as jade, crisp.
4) cut: hand touching the zisha pot, just out of the kiln may have a little dry, this is normal, after raising will become jade. What we call "cut", in fact, also with the "look" combination, the real Zisha pot surface looks grainy, looks uneven, but touch is moist.
The combination of the four methods will allow you to tell if the clay is authentic or if it is mixed with chemical clay or made-up clay.
4. Workmanship
1) Harmony of proportions. Zisha pots are quite concerned about the harmony of the proportions of the parts, and only on the basis of proportional harmony can we realize the 1, 2, 3 points. First of all, see whether the spout, the pot of the pot, the pot handle three points. Secondly, when you look at the front of the Zisha pot, whether the angle of the spout and handle is similar, and whether the body is rounded or square.
2) The good and bad of light goods. Light goods is the easiest to recognize the good and bad type of ware, because light goods all over the body without cover, a little flaw can be seen.
The light goods of round ware, pay attention to the "round, stable, even, positive", and requires "soft in the rigid", in the roundness of the changes to be made, the pot itself and the size of the accessories, the curvature of the pot should be proportional, the proportion should be appropriate, the entire shape should be upright and sturdy. The whole shape should be upright and sturdy.
Square light goods, pay attention to the "square in the round", the requirements of the pot product line is straight and square, the outline of the line is clear.
3) The good and bad of flower goods. Flower goods, to express the most beautiful part of the natural form, and to comply with the rational function, visual aesthetics and practical principles. That is to say, whether with pictorial or imaginative means of expression of plants and animals should have a sense of beauty, and to ...... >>
Question 7: How to identify the good and bad Zisha pots Zisha pots are colorful, does not matter whether it is good or bad, the key to look at personal preferences. But if the reflectivity is high, generally more impurities, not with a good mud, good mud do pot luster should be introverted.
In addition, the purple sand pot to inside and outside the whole mud for the best, because one of its main functions is good air permeability, leftover tea overnight not rancid. If it is mixed with other materials, it cannot be called a superior work.
Question 8: How to identify the good and bad clay of zisha pots The good and bad clay requires a lot of experience to identify. Generally speaking, good mud looks "soft", raised out of "moist". The clay is quick to sap, and the paste is "round and moist" when it is kept. These abstract words and phrases need to be more pot friends to see and learn to comprehend and understand.
Question 9: How to identify the good and bad of the alabaster cup Tea of course, you need a good cup or pot, perhaps in the unit with the pot is not quite right, choose a alabaster cup is a good idea. Zisha is a kind of clay, there are countless places in the world that produce clay, but Zisha is Yixing, China. What sets purple sand apart from other clays is that no matter what kind of clay it is, it will have a vaguely purplish color in use. And because of the good air permeability and adsorption of purple sand, is the best choice for tea. But now there are a lot of chemical clay, hand-pulled billet and so on pretending to be alabaster, these things made of cups or pots, not only can not better bubble tea, but also harmful to the body.
The three "signs" reveal the "garbage pot" face
1, the pot body color red, unusually bright.
2, the lid and the body of the pot knocking sound particularly crisp and loud.
3, the body of the pot feels especially smooth and delicate, and bright.
Collection expert Zhang Xueming introduced to the reporter said, observing a Zisha pot, first of all, from the color, these three pots have an obvious characteristic, that is, the color is red and very bright. This is because the unscrupulous pot business in the production process using poor quality mud, and poor quality mud in the refining process will often show uneven color, in order to cover this unevenness, they added a variety of chemical additives in poor quality mud, so that the pots in the final made out of the color looks particularly bright and beautiful.
Secondly, listen to the sound, some vendors in the peddling of zisha pots will often use the lid to knock the pot body, make a crisp sound to prove the quality of zisha pots, this method of listening to the sound of identification is nonsense, the more it is to knock the sound of a crisp, loud sound, zisha pots is the possibility of "garbage pots" is the greater. Once again is to touch the body of the pot will find that the "garbage pot" feel very delicate and smooth, and sometimes emit a bright light, this is because these pots are often processed in the process of mechanical polishing, and even some traders will be smeared on the pot body cooking oil or shoe polish, to deceive consumers.
Authentic Yixing Zisha pots five characteristics
■ Zisha ware used for a long time, the body of the body is the more bright, this is because the tea itself in the brewing process can also be pot.
■ Purple clay ware is good at hot and cold rapid change, can be put on the fire, but also can be used in the microwave oven without bursting.
■Slow heat transfer, and insulation, in use without the feeling of hot hands.
■ Billet can absorb the aroma of tea, with often steeped tea Zisha pots occasionally do not put tea, the water also has a tea flavor.
■ Zisha pot clay color and often brewed tea related, bubble black tea teapot will be from reddish brown to reddish brown, often bubble green tea, the pot will be from reddish brown to brown.
Experts disclose the "garbage pot" three major features
With a pot of purple sand pots to make a pot of tea, in the spring sunshine, reading a book, tea or chatting with three or five good friends, it should be a very pleasant thing. But if the hands of the purple sand has "defects", then this cozy afraid to play a little discount.
As the weather warms up, the tea drinking season also comes, some tea sets began to put on the shelves of the mall. This time, from the street stalls to high-end commercial buildings, "Yixing Zisha pot" signboards can be seen almost everywhere, although since ancient times, "Zisha pot tea is good for the body and mind," said, but the Zisha pot industry within the chaotic and disorderly and from 20 to 30 yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan above the price of the mysterious and unpredictable, many consumers are not able to find the right pot. The mysterious and unpredictable, so that many consumers are on the purple sand pot "want to say love you not easy".
Ms. Wang, a consumer not long ago in a tea store to buy a $ 100 or so "Yixing Zisha pot", and then a friend who knows how to point out that this "Zisha pot" has a fake, Ms. Wang then took the pot to find an expert to do the appraisal, and found that the pot is made of nanny clay. The pot is made of southern mud.
China Tea Club consultant expert, Chinese ancient ceramics collector Zhang Xueming pointed out that now on the market, including all kinds of tea city, antique city, birds and flowers handicrafts market in the sale of "Yixing Zisha pots," the vast majority of the shape of vulgar, inferior materials, "garbage pots! ", many of which are inexpensive garbage pots to rotten sand to add all kinds of chemical reagents refined from the tea drinker's health will bring a variety of adverse effects. Experts pointed out that: only the shape of the beautiful, good quality Zisha pots, only has the value of the collection. "At present, Beijing price tag in more than 80 Yixing Zisha pots, almost no genuine."
Identification tips
You can pour water on the body of the pot to observe carefully, high-quality sand made of alabaster pots, because of good air permeability, the water on the pot will slowly evaporate until the pot itself absorbed; and shoddy pots once poured, the water will beads rolled down, quickly disappeared. Dry quality Zisha pots, once injected into the boiling water, but also issued a "patter" sound.
