Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, which was called Duanzhou in ancient times, appeared as early as the Tang Wude period, ranking first among the four famous inkstones, with a history of 1300 years. Since Duanyan was listed as a tribute in the Tang Dynasty, more than 60 emperors became attached to it, and experienced the use and chanting of dignitaries and literati, which endowed Duanyan with rich and colorful cultural connotations. Making tea tray with Duanyan stone is actually endowed with the spirit of stone, and it is also a combination of water and soil, and the five elements are born together, which makes tea return to nature. When tasting tea, it can give people a feeling of returning to nature and being natural and elegant, which makes Duanyan culture and China tea culture come down in one continuous line and achieve the natural realm of tasting tea, appreciating inkstone, enlightening wisdom and cultivating self-cultivation; In 2005, "Duanyan Craft" was selected as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. 4.

Therefore, compared with other tea trays, Duanyan tea tray is definitely the most valuable for appreciation and collection; After years of exploitation, the inkstone resources of Duanyan are increasingly scarce, and the state has restricted the exploitation in order to protect the inkstone resources. It is precisely because of the scarcity and uniqueness of Duanyan that the collection value and gift value of Duanyan are increasingly apparent.

When Beijing applied for the Olympic Games, the gift for Samaranch was a priceless Guangdong inkstone, which Saon loved very much.

Generally speaking, the value, practical value, appreciation value, economic value or historical and cultural value should be considered in the collection of each tea set. If it has the meaning of one or two values, it can be regarded as a set. A tea tray, if it has only practical value and no other value, is just an ordinary household appliance and cannot be a collection. Tea tray collection, like calligraphy and painting, stamps, ancient coins and other collections, is a meaningful and interesting hobby, which can improve cultural literacy, cultivate the soul and gain endless spiritual enjoyment. 5. As a gift, it is more cultural. Because of its high artistic appreciation value and profound cultural background, Duanyan tea tray is given to relatives, friends, teachers and elders to carefully cultivate their own leaders.
