Shih Tzu pot, its unique shape, like a plump jade milk, streamlined and elegant. The long silky flowing hair adds a bit of femininity. The spout is as delicate as a cherry, showing the femininity to the fullest.
In ancient times, beautiful women were like clouds, but why was this pot named "Shih Tzu pot"? Obviously, its beauty isn't just about its appearance. Xi Shi, a spy of Goujian, the king of Yue, was sent to the state of Wu and was tasked with subverting the state of Wu. Although almost everyone knew her true identity, Xi Shi was able to praise the ministers who wanted to put her to death in front of Wu Wangfucha, calling them the pillars of the state. The ingenuity of her words is admirable.
Wu Wangfucha was puzzled by Xi Shi's behavior, and even offered to execute her immediately if the ministers could provide a shred of evidence. However, the ministers could not find a flaw in Shih Tzu. In the end, we know that Xi Shi, with his excellent rhetorical skills, succeeded in dragging down the state of Wu, exhausting its national power, leaving the government in ruins, and eventually leading to the demise of the state of Wu.
The spout of the Shih Tzu pot is short and round, which is not only a compliment to the beauty of Shih Tzu on the outside, but also a reflection of its inner quality - speaking mellow and not hurting. As the saying goes, "Trouble comes from the mouth, and illness comes from the mouth", Shih Tzu's caution in words and deeds enabled her to save her life and complete her mission. In the same way, no matter how beautiful a person is, if his words collide, he will not be liked.
When tasting tea, holding this Shih Tzu pot, the shape of the cherry mouth seems to be whispering: pay attention to words, cultivate morality, and be kind and trustworthy. It is more than just a work of art, it is a mirror of history, a reminder of the power and responsibility of words.
