What is the difference between purple sand and vermilion clay?

Zhuni and purple sand are two different ceramic materials, and their differences can be seen from many aspects. First of all, in terms of raw materials, Zhu Ni belongs to the fine category of purple sand and red mud. The main production area is in the lower layer of the tender mud mine, and its texture is as hard as stone. Purple mud is refined from the raw purple sand ore excavated from the veins. The particles contained in the mud are large and have a loose structure. Secondly, there are also obvious differences between vermilion mud and purple sand in terms of material, raw ore and output. The particles of vermilion mud are relatively fine and feel relatively smooth, while the graininess of purple sand is obvious, but the gloss is not as good as vermilion; purple sand is distributed in the middle of the mineral layer, its plasticity is much better than that of vermilion, and the product rate is higher, while vermilion is located at the bottom of the mineral layer , mining is difficult and output is scarce. In addition, vermillion mud and purple sand can also be distinguished in terms of color, yield, and firing temperature.

Both purple sand and vermilion clay are traditional pottery materials, but they have the following differences:

1. Different raw materials: purple sand has a variety of granite-like sintered clay, while red clay is mostly made of red clay . 2. Different colors and textures: The color of purple sand is dark reddish brown or brown, with simple textures, and its main characteristics are natural taste and literati flavor; while Zhuni is bright red or brownish-red, with rich and colorful textures, suitable for depicting characters Avatars, scenery, etc. 3. Different uses: Purple clay pottery is mostly used in daily necessities such as tea sets and smoking sets and in literati gatherings such as the Four Treasures of the Study, while Zhu Ni is mostly used in antique handicrafts, folk handicrafts, architectural decoration and other fields. 4. The production process is different: purple sand has multiple processes such as high-temperature calcination, tire digging, and grinding, while Zhu Ni has processes such as washing, grinding, and mixing.
