The origin of teapot

The appearance of teapots can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, there were no teapots, and the tea bowls were mostly black glazed, which could fully set off the delicacy of tea foam when ordering tea.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, people mainly used tea as medicine, and later it gradually developed into a healthy drink for strengthening the spleen and helping digestion. Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and the perfect combination of Buddhism and tea further promoted the development of tea ceremony, and Cha Sheng Luyu's Tea Classic laid the foundation for the development of tea ceremony.

Teapots originated from flagons. In ancient times, there were two ways of drinking. One is to use the urn as a kettle and drink it in a big bowl. For example, heroes in the water margin drink this way. The other is a scholar, using that exquisite and beautiful hip flask. This hip flask shape was gradually used for reference by teapot, and teapot was gradually popularized and used today.
