What are the characteristics of Chen Mingyuan teapot?

Zisha pottery began in the Northern Song Dynasty and has become a mature craft with complete technology through continuous improvement by famous craftsmen such as Gong Chun and Shi Dabin in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Shi Dabin played a decisive role in the development of purple sand technology and the artistry of purple sand pots. With the replacement of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the war ended, the society tended to be stable, the economy began to recover, and the purple sand craft also entered a prosperous period of all-round development, reaching new heights in craft, modeling, sculpture, color matching and so on. The most important figure in this period was Chen Mingyuan, and Chen Mingyuan was the most accomplished Zisha master after Gong Chun and Shi Dabin. He inherited the essence of the Ming dynasty and opened up the pattern of the Qing dynasty, which had a great influence. In the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1686), when Xu Yifeng compiled the Records of Yixing City, Chen Mingyuan, who was in his prime, made an exception. He said: "The techniques of pots, cups, bottles and boxes in Ming Dynasty are between Xu and Shen Shiliang, while the wide and straight calligraphy is unique and elegant, with the style of Jin and Tang Dynasties." Chen Mingyuan, also known as Hu Yin, was born during the reign of Kangxi and Yongzheng in the early Qing Dynasty. It is said that his father was Chen Ziqi, a famous purple sand artist in Ming Dynasty. Chen Mingyuan is the master who is best at using comprehensive skills in the history of purple sand. His endless creativity has opened up a broader development path for purple sand craft, and his achievements and contributions are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, in the design of pot shape, Chen Mingyuan jumped out of the limitations of geometric shape and rib shape in Ming Dynasty and shaped the pot body by simulating natural modeling. Flowers, trees, vegetables, fruits, birds, animals, fish and insects in nature can all be put into the pot. Its shape comes from nature and is exaggerated appropriately. His works are lively and full of beauty. It is an artist who loves life and recreates life, creating a precedent for later generations to "spend goods". Handed down works include Tianji pot, pumpkin pot and so on. Secondly, Chen Mingyuan expanded the artistic category of purple sand pottery. In addition to pots, cups, bottles and boxes, he also designed and made many elegant games in his study, such as pen container, pen container and bamboo shoots. Thirdly, the close communication and cooperation between Chen Mingyuan and literati brought elegant cultural connotation to Zisha works. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, Janice's "Yang Xian Ming Lu Tao" contained "the skill of Ming Yuan, the world's talents. Since more than a hundred years ago, there have been fewer and fewer masterpieces, so its name is particularly noisy. " Scholars compete to attract them wherever they go. They often go to Haiyan Pavilion, Zhang Zhi's garden, Wang Keting's family in Tongxiang, Chen's family, Cao Shijia's family and Ma's family in Haining, and they have a very good friendship with Yang Zhongyun. "Zhang (Ke), Wang Keting, Cao Shi (Lian Rang), (Si Zan) and Yang Zhongyun are all literati in Historical Records, some of whom are good at painting and some are good at calligraphy. They invited Chen Mingyuan to their home to make teapots and learn pottery. These literati directly participated in the design, selection or formulation of pot shapes, and even wrote pot shapes by themselves, such as Cao Lianrang's book-style space-based pot (now in Tianjin Art Museum). This kind of work is bound to show a strong literati interest. Chen Mingyuan is a genius, deeply influenced by literati for a long time, and his cultural and artistic accomplishment has gradually reached a high level. This is fully reflected in Chen Mingyuan's pot type, seal cutting calligraphy and the cooperation between pots. For example, the pumpkin pot in Nanjing Museum is called Dongling style, which is filled with snow and frankincense.
