Origin: Ziye Shilao was originally created by Mansheng, but named after Ziye. Qu Yingshao, also known as Ziye, refers to himself as Hu Gong. He is best at painting bamboo, orchids and willows, and can calligraphy and seal carving.
I like to use the purple sand teapot made in Yixing, with bamboo patterns carved on it and engraved on it. I have a unique way of playing the sword, so that others cannot look at its back. Soseki of the Republic of China wrote in "Notes on Tuixinglu": " ... Qu pots like this are occasionally found in antique shops and are considered rare items. They cost ten or dozens of gold, and the genuine ones may not be able to do so."
It can be seen that this pot has always been regarded as a treasure by collectors and is almost impossible to obtain. Therefore, later generations use Ziye stone ladle as a classic to make it, so it is named Ziye stone ladle, which later derived Jingzhou stone scoop, Hantang stone scoop, etc.
