1, Shi Dabin (1573—— 1648), born between Wanli of Ming Dynasty and Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty, is the son of Shi Peng, one of the famous "Four Masters" of Zisha. He studied the mud-making, modeling technology, modeling design and inscription of purple sand pottery, and established a difficult technical system of clay tablets and inlaying that is still used in the purple sand industry. Born in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, he died in the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Shi Dabin's pot-making skills are comprehensive, and he has made outstanding achievements in mud-making, molding techniques, vessel design and calligraphy.
