Features: Mr. Qu Yanbo, after ten years of dedicated research and practice, and investing his wisdom, has completed the book "Appreciation of Ming and Qing Dynasty Chinese Zisha Teapot Art." I had the opportunity to read it first and deeply felt the profound origin of Zisha teapot art, the profound intricacies of Zisha teapot appreciation, and the close connection between Zisha teapots and people's lives. The book "Appreciation of Ming and Qing Dynasty Chinese Zisha Teapot Art" by Mr. Qu Yanbo has three significant characteristics. First, the author is a scholar engaged in geological and mineral work, with a solid theoretical foundation in geological science. He starts from the perspective of geology, scientifically and deeply analyzing the geological background, tectonic movements, geophysical and geochemical characteristics, and the history of the Earth's crust of the raw material sources of Yixing Zisha ware. Zisha teapots play an important role in the traditional Chinese cultural system. It can be said that the history of using Zisha teapots is the process by which the Chinese have turned life into art. Zisha teapots are different from other artworks, which are merely for appreciation. They must be used, so the practical considerations of Zisha teapots may be more important than the practical evaluations of any other artwork.
