The Yixing teapot is a traditional Chinese handmade tea utensil renowned for its unique materials and craftsmanship. Today's featured teapot, named "Qin Quan," was personally created by national-level craft artist Yang Junbao. It serves not only as functional teaware but also embodies Eastern wisdom of "self-discipline, meticulousness, prudent speech, and circumspect action" - principles integrated throughout its creation process.

This purple clay teapot utilizes precious No.4 Mine Zini Pink Pi Long clay from Jiangsu Yixing, a historic zisha clay source. Aged for years, this refined material develops warm purplish-red hues after firing. The 260ml capacity makes it ideal for group tea sessions. Its diamond-shaped single-hole water outlet ensures rapid pouring while effectively filtering tea leaves.

The teapot's most striking feature is its landscape painting using colored zisha clays as pigments. This technique requires years of experience to maintain dimensional effects through high-temperature firing. Each detail reflects the "circumspect action" philosophy through deliberate planning.

The purple clay teapot's uniqueness lies in irreplicability. Even the same artisan cannot recreate identical works. The "Qin Quan" requires precise kiln control and spontaneous clay painting, making it a singular artwork for daily use and cultural preservation.
