teapot

There are four criteria for the quality of a teapot: "Small, shallow, balanced and old." Teapots have two - person, three - person, four - person, etc. To Meng Chen, iron painting Xuan, autumn garden, respect garden, hill, Yuan Xisheng and other manufacturing is the most cherished. Pot patterns are many, small as orange, large like tangerine, also melon shape, persimmon shape, diamond, drum, plum shape, hexagonal, chestnut shape...... And so on, generally used drum shape, take its correct and thick. There are many kinds of color pot, cinnabar, ancient iron, chestnut, purple mud, stone yellow, azure... And so on, there is another type of pot whose body is glittering with silver sand and full of vermilion grains, which is commonly called the sand extractor and is the most precious. But no matter how the style, color, the most important thing is "small should not be large, should not be shallow should not be deep", because big is not "time". So use a big teapot, a medium teapot, a tea drum, a tea sieve, a tea stall... Wait for tea, even with one or two hundred yuan tea, also can not be regarded as time tea. As for the depth of the relationship between smell, light can brew flavor, can stay fragrant, not water storage, so that the tea is not easy to become astringent. In addition to large, small, deep and shallow, the teapot is the most fastidious: "three mountains", which is the most important standard to evaluate the quality of the pot. The solution is to cover the teapot and put it on the table (preferably on a very flat glass). If the spout, spout and handle of the teapot are all flat, it is "three mountains together". This is related to the level and quality of the pot, so the most exquisite. "Old" mainly depends on the amount of "tea residue" accumulated in the pot, as has been said before. Of course, there are a lot of attention to the word "old", such as what dynasty produced, what ancient history, what famous craftsmen made, what famous people have appraised and so on. But that's no longer a question of using ordinary teapots. It's a question of playing with antiques.
