I have been sharing and exchanging purple sand knowledge with my friends for a while, and I always feel that I have something to say more to everyone.
How did we start to get in touch with the purple clay pot, and then slowly like it, and now we are obsessed with it?
It's a long story, but there is a saying called "fate at a glance", and many stories may start like this, returning to sweetness like a beautiful love.
In 2011, a beautiful spring business trip to Wuxi, Jiangsu, after the business was done, local friends accompanied the Taihu Lake to experience the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.
I accidentally asked if I had ever heard such a sentence: there is only one purple clay pot in the world, and its name is Yixing!
To be honest, there was really no such elegance at that time. I just had plenty of time, so I ran all the way to the place called Dingshu Town in Yixing!
It's shocking!I have never seen such a dazzling array of purple clay pots, which fill this town everywhere.
All kinds, rich colors, thousands of shapes of purple sand pots continue to impact the eyeballs, purple sand handles, sculptures, etc., it turns out that Zisha is like this, not only on the news, the news seen on TV programs, who whose pot sold for tens of thousands, who who suddenly found Gu Lao's pot at home and so on and so on.
But when you pick up a purple clay pot and play with it in your hand, suddenly, you fall in love with it.
Of course, at that time, the purple sand market did not seem to be as chaotic and complicated as it is now. While traveling, I listened to my friends tell me the story and history of Zisha, and I was fascinated by it!
It turns out that Zisha is such a thing, once you want to get close to her, you will find that her world is too vast, like discovering a new universe.
Inadvertently, listening to the sound of "** popping" (slapping mud strips), I walked into a purple sand shop.
And so, a beautiful story began!
It is such a small shop, purple clay pots are filled with shelves on both sides, a beautiful woman, simply combing her ponytail, smiling and looking at us with big eyes, saying: Hello, please come in!I hurriedly dusted off my apron, washed my hands, and welcomed us into the store (this is the proprietress ......).Later, we learned that this was a purple sand potter, and we were lucky that this was a small workshop that produced and sold itself, and now we have become friends with the owner of the shop for more than ten years: Lao Liang and Xiao Chen.
Looking at the shelves full of purple clay pots, to tell the truth, I was really dazzled at the time, and I felt that each one was good-looking, how to choose?I really didn't understand what capacity, pot type, mud, workmanship, etc. at the time.
Lao Liang, the owner of the shop who came later, said: You close your eyes, open them again, and see which one you feel the most.
That's it!My first purple clay pot.
All handmade, produced by the old potter, Huanglongshan old purple mud, 300cc capacity, bridge flat belly.
Every friend who has seen it I will tell them the origin of this pot, and I am often teased by my friends and say: Do you have to sleep at night, hehe, look at it!
In this way, from all aspects of the purple clay pot to the interesting things in life, from the strangeness and politeness at the beginning to the more speculative the more we chatted, and before we knew it, it was time for dinner, and it was natural for the shopkeeper Lao Liang to invite us once, and now he will smile when he chats with Lao Liang about the things at that time. (Of course, my pot is spending money, although Lao Liang has been shirking).
The story of me and Zisha has a beautiful beginning, and if you calculate it carefully, we are forty years old, and our fate has lasted for more than ten years.
Let's talk about it here today, and then I have time to talk to you about how to share good things from the first acquaintance to the hobby to the present, as well as the various states of the world that I have heard and seen. The story of Zisha will be slowly told to you ......Purple clay pot.
