Yicheng / Square Pot

Like a city, always keep the heart, hold a pot of sincerity, and drink as you feel. There are images to be effective, tangible and measurable. The four ends are as silent as a city wall, with their own partitions and order.

From the perspective of Chinese aesthetics, "sincerity" is the original mind, the existence of the original mind, and the presentation of the true self of nature and the simple original mind. The pot and the person are the same as the posture of "sincerity".

With sincerity and righteousness, the pot shape will be straightened, and the tea ceremony will be used by "Yicheng" to treat friends with sincerity.

YiXian / Round Pot

Plain curve without makeupThe lanyards spread out in sequence, like skirts, rippling with the wind. Gentle manifold, look forward to someone, and let you miss longer.

The fragrance is empty and reincarnated, and the shadow of the pot is set against the sun. The tea surging agitates the fragrance, accompanied by diligence, not waiting for a cup of cold. A deep affection, four-person capacity, purple sand and amber soup.

【One Mind】Tea Group

The hourglass of time gleams with silver light and surrounds dreams. Wanqiantang "takes poetry as its wings, with one heart and one mind", and integrates the memory of creation into Wanqiantang's eleven years of fullness. I hope that this set of utensils that can freeze the quicksand can bring you a more poetic Chinese life experience. "One Heart and One Mind", as the first year commemorative of the new ten years of Wan Qiantang's sailing, will bring the wings of dreams to explore more culturally rich artifacts to face the next ten years.

Lacquer tea cup

Lacquer is a kind of plant peculiar to China and Southeast Asia. It is the sap flowing naturally after the bark of lacquer tree is cut. Lacquerware first originated in our country, and it was an important invention of ancient Chinese craftsmen in arts and crafts. It created the beauty of the beautiful halls of ancient princes and nobles, and now it has entered the homes of ordinary people, so it is called "national paint". The Cangxitang large lacquered tea cup is made of Jingdezhen ceramics. The outer surface has been scraped, painted, decorated, and polished. Each piece has a unique and exquisite texture. Lacquerware is expensive in gorgeous atmosphere. The large lacquer tea cup produced by Cangxitang is made of multiple layers of pure gold foil, and each piece is condensed with ingenuity, which can be completed in more than 4 months.

"Three Friends of Tea with Cloud Pattern" Tea set

Sharp tools make good work. The necessary gadgets for drinking tea. A complete tea table is inseparable from the combination of tea needles, teaspoons and tea clips. The tea needle is used to unclog the mouth of the teapot. The tea clip is used to hold the cup and the lid. The teaspoon is used to make tea... The graceful cloud pattern symbolizes good luck and rises step by step, which is the creative theme of this tea set. Choose the finest purple sandalwood, go through material selection, line drawing, blank planing, planing, and then fine filing, fine scraping, and fine polishing. Every minute arc needs to be finely polished by hand. Only in this way can it show exquisite lines and perfect touch.

"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Tea Ware "Gengshan" series

The work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in "Growing Mountains" was inspired by Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Song Dynasty. The work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in "Growing Mountains" was inspired by Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Song Dynasty. Using minimalist aesthetics, subtraction in the carving process, combined with the cultural development trend of modern tea utensils from the heavy wet brewing table to clean and elegant, the designer's understanding of modern utensils is used to create.

Designers interpret the invisible "spiritual beauty" of the artistic realm and cultural expectations in our lives through the "design beauty" and "texture beauty" that can be seen on the artifacts, so that the works can have a direct dialogue with the people who appreciate them.

So, there is this group of works, named"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Tribute to the excellent traditional Chinese culture!

Dry landscape-Huiyuan Tea Collection

The inspiration of "Huiyuan Tea Collection" is to design the dry landscape with cultural heritage in the tea vessels to create an elegant and interesting tea drinking experience. By extracting the artistic conception and elements of the dry landscape, the simplicity of the pottery is integrated into the tea ware, and gives the gravel feel. The whole tea collection presents a miniature dry landscape, making tea utensils more than just utensils. In the first case, a master cup design was added to the tea set, which was distinguished by five black and one white colors, creating a spirit of white space. The tea cup in the shape of sand pile represents the mountains and hills of dry landscape culture. A dual-purpose double-layer tea tray. The upper layer is a dry bubble tray. The plate is high in the middle and low on the outside, allowing tea to flow into the lower layer by itself. It can also be used as a pot holder. After removing the plate surface, the chassis is a tea tray design with pottery and stone landscaping. When tea is poured into it, it can bring out the artistic conception of the lake and the stones. The "Huiyuan Tea Collection" inherits the dry landscape culture in a way that is close to life, and also gives new life to tea through art.

The "Ancient Tea Horse Road" arose in the Tang and Song dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It originated in the tea and horse exchange market in the ancient southwestern frontier, and is an important trade channel between China and South Asia, West Asia, West Africa and other regions. If the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" is the link between China and regional economic and cultural exchanges, then tea is the yeast for the common prosperity of China and the world economy and culture. Obviously, tea is an ideal medium. ADCC committee members and [Furniture Center·Jingqilin Award] winning designers have brought Chinese tea culture to the world. In fact, it is to develop the friendship between the Chinese nation and the people of the world. What they do for the spread of tea culture is actually to dedicate Chinese etiquette, wisdom, and dedication to the people of the world.
