Sui Xia

When she came to the studio, Lin Suixia found that Lin Tao and Zhou Qi were busy with their own work again.

She also sat in front of her clay board and continued with the unfinished Skyrim Pot.

Lin Suixia knows that it doesn't matter if the crickets are gone, and it doesn't matter if the quality of the purple clay pot is not good. What is important is that the purple clay pot is still there.

So, she can't stop.

I don't know if it's this hint, but Lin Suixia found that her heart was quieter than before.

Make the lid, the button, the handle, and the spout... Lin Suixia used tools and patiently followed the method taught by Lin Tao to complete it bit by bit.

In these processes, she no longer pursues speed and strives for excellence, which took a lot of time.

She didn't stop to rest until Old Tang brought her lunch.

"Is the video effect not ideal?"

After eating, Zhou Qi asked her quietly.

Hearing Zhou Qi's words, Lin Tao, who was about to go out, froze. Seeing this, Lin Suixia just shook his head at Zhou Qi.

"fine."

If it was before, she would have discussed it with Zhou Qiduo, but today she did not explain too much.

Lin Suixia sat back on the Nideng, and continued to finish and put on the finished handle and spout.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi didn't ask any more questions.

He deliberately took out his mobile phone and looked at the account number of Lin's Zishahu, the data was indeed not ideal.

Zhou Qi was a little worried about Lin Suishia at first, but seeing her making pots, he felt that he was thinking too much.

The wind outside the window blew in, and Lin Suixia just raised her head, blowing her bangs.

If Lin Suixia could see this scene of herself, she would be surprised, this is the tranquility she has never had before.

Intensive repair requires patience and meditation. Lin Suixia holds the tools in hand and wholeheartedly refines the connection between the handle and the spout, until finally, the embryo of the entire Tianji pot is completed.

Lin Suixia made this pot for two days, it wasn't too slow, and it wasn't too fast either.

While waiting for the firing time, Lin Suixia took out another piece of purple clay.

This time, Lin Suixia is going to make a giant wheel bead.

Lin Suixia didn't show Lin Tao her own pot. She doesn't care much about the progress or not now, she just wants to immerse herself in the process of making the pot.

Because Lin Suixia discovered that this is also a process of cultivating the mind.

Julunzhu, also known as Gulunzhu, is a classical and traditional vessel. It was popular in the late Qing Dynasty, especially exported to Japan, and then became popular in Taiwan's tea industry.

This type of pot is originally designed as a practical type, with a large lid for easy pouring of tea dregs, and a direct-flow muzzle for refreshing water.It is easy to handle and take off the lid of the pot.In particular, when people in ancient times made tea, they liked to hold the teapot in their palms and play with it. This kind of round teapot, which is compact and convenient, is more suitable.

Different from the pursuit of balanced shape and exquisite workmanship in the traditional purple sand ware in the late Qing Dynasty, the shape of round beads often presents the "extensive" characteristics of "asymmetry, irregularity, and unevenness", and the craftsmanship also shows the "extensive" characteristics. Deliberately brighten the joints, do not trim the blanks, and deliberately weaken and omit the "de-craft" tendency of Yixing's traditional pot-making finishing techniques such as bright needle decoration.It exudes the Japanese aesthetic atmosphere of "unfinished, incomplete, imperfect, and non-permanent", which is very different from the contemporary purple sand ware.

Japan combines Chaoshan kung fu tea customs in the form of sencha, so there are many small utensils and giant wheel beads that can be held in one hand, which are naturally widely sought after.

Julunzhu is the most well-known Zisha teapot style besides the horizontal teapot.

Gu Lunzhu is based on the ancient irrigation tools and carts. Later, because of the advent of the "thousand-mile ship", the giant ship propels the boat, and it will be called "Giant Lunzhu".

The Japanese Ao Xuanbao said in the book "Minghu Tulu": "Small and fine, the utensils are clumsy and dense, simple and elegant, straight and faster than soup, suitable for size and charm."

The shape of giant round beads is simple and capable, round and thick, and it often presents the "extensive" characteristics of "asymmetry and irregularity" in shape.The purpose is to seek simplicity from workmanship, seek clumsiness from ingenuity, and pursue clumsy taste and simplicity.

There is no standard style of giant wheel beads, and most of them are folded shoulders and long cover round buttons.There are different types of pot lids, such as hat type, gland type, flat gland type, etc.

The giant wheel beads are highly practical, and the large lid is convenient for pouring tea and cleaning.It is often equipped with a straight spout, and the soup is quickly produced.It is a veritable purple clay ware made for making tea.

Lin Suixia also referred to Lin Tao's finished product.

Lin Tao's giant wheel bead has a capacity of 290cc. It is an innovation on the traditional giant wheel bead shape. The edges and corners of the pot body shrink, which is more suitable for playing.The waist of the pot is more prominent, full and round, which makes people want to play with it.The engraving on the body of the pot not only adds charm but also makes the whole pot more ornamental.

After reading it, Lin Suixia was once again impressed by Lin Tao's art and calligraphy skills.She heard from Lin Tao before that Zisha teapot craftsmen are half-artists and calligraphers. She knew that Lin Tao could do these things before, but now she has made Zisha teapots with her own hands and has a deep experience. Works, the feel is completely different.

Lin Suixia didn't talk nonsense anymore, she put Lin Tao's giant wheel beads in front of her eyes, cut the mud again, and beat it with the beat.

For an entire hour, Lin Suixia was controlling the thickness of the mud strips, focusing on making an immersive pot.

Lin Suixia also turned on the phone to record the video to herself. She hasn't figured out how to shoot it next, but these most original and authentic records can at least be made into material.

Even if there is no material later, even if it is a commemoration.

"Sui Xia, go home and do it tomorrow."

Hearing the sound, Lin Suixia looked up and realized that it was already dark outside the window.

When Lin Suishia turned her head, Zhou Qi had already gone back. Lin Tao also took off his glasses and apron and stood beside her.

"Oh, Dad, it's so late." Lin Suixia stood up from the chair, she had just finished wrapping the body of the pot, and she didn't come to take pictures.

Lin Tao looked at the giant wheel bead she was making, and at the Tianji pot she had made before.

Picked it up and watched it.

Lin Suixia was about to stop him, but saw that Lin Tao had put on his glasses again and looked up and down.

"The handle of the pot is too protruding, but the mouth of the pot is low, which is not natural and smooth enough." Lin Tao's voice was natural and peaceful.

Lin Suixia nodded: "I know Dad."

Lin Tao put the pot on the mud and said lightly, "However, there is not much improvement, especially the closure of the spout is very good."

Lin Suixia could tell, and there was a hint of relief in Lin Tao's words.

She raised her head and met Lin Tao's gaze, and Lin Tao looked down at the giant wheel bead she was making, and with just one glance, he saw the problem.

"The thickness of the clay sheet is not uniform enough." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Lin Suishia and said, "Xiao Xia, no matter what you do, don't be in a hurry, and don't be afraid."
