Purple Clay Moon Clay (Volume: 400ml) Author: Wang Guoxiang
The eighteen styles of the "Mansheng Pot" and its inscription include the "Crescent Moon" inscription: "The moon wanes after it is full; place it by my side as a guide."
The teapot is inspired by the natural phenomenon of a "crescent moon," serving as a motto to remind people to be humble and cautious in their conduct and to leave room for maneuver in all things.
The inscription is elegant and profound, and it is thought-provoking to read.
This teapot's body resembles a full moon, with a slightly incomplete base. Functionally, it is designed for stability, featuring a three-curved spout and a handle with ear loops for balance. The upper oval lid blends seamlessly with the overall design, conforming to the standards of teaware design. The body of the teapot is engraved with bamboo from Taihu Lake, a refined and elegant object for appreciation.
allusion:
Chen Mansheng, a scholar and literati who was fond of Yixing teapots, was a man of many romantic affairs. As a local official, he was also caught up in the pleasures of love.
He then devoted himself to classical literature, especially to stories of mutual affection. After serving as an official for two years, on the night of the fifteenth of the month...
In my spare time, I read "Water Margin" at night and was deeply moved by the love between Shishi and Yan Qing.
With a sigh, he wrote down the ancient poem that Shishi had given to Yan Qing: "People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning. Nothing in this world is perfect. I only wish that we may live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart."
At his desk, he imagined himself as Yan Qing and silently recited the poem several times, as if he were actually there. He couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.
Looking out the window, the full moon hangs like a wheel in the sky, and my thoughts wander. In just one day, the full moon will wane, just like life, full of gains and losses.
So he hand-drew a full moon-shaped pot, but upon inspection, it couldn't stand upright, and placing it horizontally was inelegant, so he discarded it. Then he looked at the poems:
Although Mansheng created this moon-shaped teapot out of inspiration, it is a manifestation of his long-term dedication to teapots and the integration of his emotions into them.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the missing line in the text that the writings of Man Gong that we read today seem to lack a concluding sentence, leaving the text unfinished and the meaning incomplete, leaving the world with endless room for imagination.
However, Mansheng himself had his own conclusions in his mind, and perhaps he was waiting for his kindred spirit to arrive. This also corresponds to the yin and yang principle that everything will fall into deficiency when full and overflow when full.
If people could follow the example set by Master Man and act accordingly, perhaps that would be Master Man's greatest comfort!
Deep feelings and earnest intentions are poured into the teapot, and the teapot is used to express emotions. It can be said that one should enjoy life to the fullest, cherish what one has, and look forward to tomorrow.
This teapot is shaped like a crescent moon, exuding a free and unrestrained spirit. It is as if one is riding the moon to a fairyland, soaring through the void, ascending to the highest heavens, and being carefree and detached from the mortal world. If one cannot grasp it, one will regret it for a lifetime. If one can grasp the moon, one's heart will soar!
