In the colorful world, there is a kind of utensils that dominates, it is the purple sand pot, and when it comes to the purple sand pot, people will naturally think of Yixing. This magical place, as if it is the cradle of purple clay pots, has given birth to countless amazing works. In recent years, the sales performance of Yixing purple clay pot has repeatedly reached new highs, leading the trend of the market. However, there have been rumors about purple sand mud in the market recently, and some people are worried that we may never find the real raw purple sand mud again, and even suspect that most of the mud is chemical mud. Is this rumor true?
First of all, we need to understand that purple sand mud is obtained by carefully refining purple sand ore. In the modern industrial chain, the preparation of mud has formed an independent and perfect link. Nowadays, there are more and more sand factories and mud merchants, but those masters who are proficient in pottery and sand mud refining skills are rare. This means that these mud plants must rely on abundant minerals to survive. 
So, where do these precious minerals come from?Generally speaking, they are mainly found in the local Huanglongshan, Yixing and other purple sand mining areas. In the years when Yixing was closed and mining was prohibited, the raw ore of Huanglongshan was worth a lot of money, and the ** mud was as high as thousands or even tens of thousands. However, considering that the cost of mud only accounts for an insignificant part of the total cost, mud factories, craftsmen and merchants do not pay special attention to the best place in the mud. After all, these ores all come from the same mountain range, and the refining method is the same;The only difference may be that some people may have a slight advantage over the local ingredients when tasting the tea soup. 
So, despite the rumors about purple sand mud in the market, we can be sure that the real raw purple sand mud still exists. As its representative, Yixing will continue to lead the trend of the market and write its legendary chapter.
