Influenced by his parents from a young age, he was immersed in pottery culture and developed a deep interest in Zisha (purple clay) culture. After graduating from university, he returned to study Zisha techniques, building a solid foundation and mastering the art of Zisha teapot design and fully handmade crafting. Under the guidance of his mentors Liu Youliang, Wang Jigang, and Senior Arts and Crafts Artist Zhu Zhifen, his works possess a rustic texture and profound charm, deeply embodying the essence of traditional teapot artistry. His handmade pots come in various sizes, from grand pieces with a robust aura to smaller ones that fit perfectly in the palm. They are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, whether showcasing the raw texture of the clay or boasting a refined, lustrous finish. Later, under the tutelage of Arts and Crafts Artist Xu Ximing, he explored and refined his skills, making advancements in the realm of floral-themed pieces. His designs primarily follow traditional styles, presenting an overall aesthetic that is both elegant and grand, imbued with artistic, ornamental, and practical value. The craftsmanship is exquisite and upright, with natural and fluid lines. Each piece carries the artist's heart and intention. His unique style is highly favored and collected by Zisha enthusiasts both domestically and internationally. 【Huanglong Mountain Zhu Ni (Red Robe)】 Selected from the original Zhu Ni ore, this clay is fine-grained, uniform in particle size, pure in color, and has a moderate iron content, ensuring superior quality. Firing Temperature: 1166°C, Shrinkage Rate: 28% When speaking of Zhu Ni, one immediately thinks of (Xiao Meiyao Zhu Ni, Zhaozhuang Zhu Ni). However, there is another type of Zhu Ni, Huanglong Mountain Zhu Ni, which is less common and has a more pronounced sandy texture. Its characteristic is that the longer it is used for brewing, the richer and more apparent the surface texture becomes, akin to the jade-like patina effect of Benshan Green Clay. The flavor transformation of the tea soup is also distinct from Zhu Ni from the other two regions. 【Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)】 1. How to season the pot before first use?
