Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bone, and Confucianism is the table. You should look at the world generously. This is a sentence that Fan Zefeng regarded as a life rule. His purple sand works are often combined with Buddhism: Buddhism is human feelings and making pots is practice.

Teacher Fan Zefeng's "Six Benefits".

This pot is a ribbed hanging beam pot. The symmetrical hanging beam is like a monk's palm. There are many ridges on the three-bend flow, and the round pot body is supported by three legs. The yin and yang lines on the pot body are spaced, concave and convex, and the tension is great. Ridge lines are arranged on the protrusions of the pot cover, and the ridge lines are connected with the lines of the pot body. The connection between the bridge button and the pot surface is decorated with scroll texture, which is similar to a tripod and echoes up and down.

"Six degrees" is also called "six paramita", which means "to the other side" in Sanskrit. Six degrees, that is, from trouble to consciousness, from one shore to the other.

Making rib pots with strict methods is to practice according to law and cultivate six degrees of altruism, which is also the fate of artists and tea people.

Teacher Fan Zefeng's "Pu Kui Ti Liang".

The pot body is like mallow, the fan-shaped leaves are petal-shaped, the waist fold line separates the pot body, and with smooth ribs, the vivid charm is integrated into the precise design.

The shape of the cover takes the shape of a sunflower, which is balanced and symmetrical and evenly decorated on all sides. Lifting the beam is narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, and the beam body is tortuous, combining reality with reality, just like leaving a blank in the painting, taking advantage of the scenery to achieve a subtle visual balance.

Look at this device, just like a palm flower moving rhythmically in the wind, with convoluted lines and exquisite craftsmanship.

Teacher Ze Feng's "Seeing Buddha in bloom".

The work is very clever and fragrant, which is a tribute to the Buddha.

Fiona Fang's shapes are varied, the lotus on the pot body is dignified and elegant, the lotus petals on the pot cover bloom one after another, the pot buttons are flower buds, and the scabbed Buddha statues are decorated with hollows on the four flower buds, which increases the author's understanding of the fourth of the three Buddha phases, that is, the realm where the Buddha stays in the hearts of believers.

The pot is shaped like a lotus flower, with full petals. The pot body reaches the pot button and blooms once every second, which means that bloom sees Buddha. The hanging beam of the pot is like hands, holding a new lotus flower, making the pot as pious as people.
