Jianzhan, a teacup full of mystery, is not only a practical vessel, but also a crystallization of culture and art. Today, let's walk into the world of Jianzhan and explore its charm.
Jianzhan, as the name suggests, is produced in Jianyang City, Fujian Province. This place is rich in porcelain clay resources, which provides unique conditions for the production of Jianzhan. The origin of Jianzhan can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, and after the prosperity and development of the Song Dynasty, it has become a representative utensil of the Song Dynasty tea fighting culture.
The uniqueness of Jianzhan lies in the craftsmanship of its black-glazed porcelain. At high temperatures, the glaze of Jianzhan undergoes a series of physical and chemical changes, showing a deep and mysterious color. This color is not simply black, but glows in the sunlight with a variety of colors such as blue, purple, and gold, as if there are endless mysteries waiting to be explored.
The shape of Jianzhan is also unique. Some are bowl-shaped, some are cup-shaped, and some are plate-shaped. Among them, the bowl shape is the most common shape, because it has a large mouth and a small bottom, which is very suitable for putting tea leaves and soup flowers in the tea fight. The cup and plate shape are more suitable for tea tasting and serving refreshments.
In addition to the shape and glaze color, the texture of the building lamp is also very distinctive. As the glaze flows and blends at high temperatures, a variety of different textures are formed, such as rabbit hair, partridge spots, obscurity, etc. These textures are all naturally formed, and each piece is unique.
Of course, the value of a building lamp is not just about its beauty. It is also a cultural and historical heritage. In the Song Dynasty, the style of tea fighting prevailed, and Jianzhan became the "king of tea sets" at that time. Many literati and writers were fond of Jianzhan and left many poems praising it. Nowadays, with the revival of tea culture, Jianzhan has also re-entered people's lives.
Overall, Jianzhan is a teacup that combines beauty, practicality, and culture. It is not only a good partner for us to enjoy tea, but also an important window for us to understand history and culture. I hope that through today's sharing, everyone can have a deeper understanding and understanding of Jianzhan, and can also feel the beauty and tranquility it brings in the process of tasting tea.
