‘’春山宜远思 秋鹤见高怀‘’

诗, 吴山明。

春天站在高山上适合思念远方，

秋天看到仙鹤在高空中飞过让人怀念家乡。

This poem is from the Famous Poet, Wu Shan Ming.  He pens these words thus,

"It is Spring, to reach the top of the mountain, it is amenable to thinking and reminiscing of one's loved ones afar,

And when Autumn descends, one watches the cranes that fly past above, they induce one to miss one's loved ones.

Remember those absolute, TRUE information agreed by the fraternity, that we had written and provided about Huang Long Shan 4th Quarry Di Cao Qing.

The only one that the fraternity trusts is the clay stock by Huang Long Yuan company.

Yes, and via the strong, high level connections our Artists have with Huang Long Yuan boss, Senior Master Lu Xue Feng, Assoc Master Yang Quan Sheng and Assoc Master Du Cheng Yao have, in the past two years, been able to procure them and fascinate you friends with their application and mastery of these procured Nationally-Authenticated True 4th Quarry Huang Long Shan Di Cao Qing.  They had crafted many ZiSha works thus adopted into the homes of many of our esteemed and absolutely discerning patrons.  The Holy grail, Huang Long Yuan company National-Authenticated Huang Long Shan 4th Quarry Di Cao Qing 黄龙源国家鉴定黄龙山四号井底槽青。

Dearest Friends, we want to let you into this precious work:
This Tiao Sha 调砂 clay utilised here, is, the combination of Lao Duan Ni, with, lo and behold:
Huang Long Yuan company's National-Authenticated Huang Long Shan 4th Quarry Di Cao Qing.

How it came to being, was that:  during Assoc Master Yang Quan Sheng's and Assoc Master Du Cheng Yao's crafting of their HLY~NA~HLS4QDCQ works (which you friends have seen their past launches), there is a sizeable extra clay slab which they decided to let Assoc Master Du COMBINE with the Lao Duan Ni! :-D to conjure up this Tiao Sha, this combination ZiSha clay, so as to craft into various ZiSha works.

So now, you know :-D We are very happy to avail this work to you friends, just like the previous Tiao Sha works already in the homes of several fortunate patrons and friends.

So yes, Huang Long Yuan's National-Authenticated Huang Long Shan 4th Quarry Di Cao Qing, with Lao Duan Ni.  This Lian Pu work is crafted with this clay.  BUT as always with us at RealZiSha, we only present the absolute truthful works and information, where:
~ we do not believe in hype,
~ where we absolutely avoid hype to hike prices,
Here you witness this ZiSha work by Assoc Master Du at only $412 even if this combination clay had utilised the holy grail clay.  No hyping to hike prices.

$412 is to honestly remunerate Assoc Master Du of his craftsmanship.

🌿🌿🌿

Also to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you observe: besides the usual important, critical and beautiful hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot, this pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks evident on the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks left on the clay slab, complementary to the marks on the workbench of Assoc Master Artist Du. During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Artist/Craftsman will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these cutting strokes will leave marks on the studio workbench. Especially the first major forceful cut across the table to delineate the clay she/he wants to utilize to form the main body of the body.  Thus when the craftsman subsequently pound the clay slab on the workbench, these marks will be etched onto the clay slab.  Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot.  A partially(half) handmade pot will not show these marks because it requires two halfslabs to be pressed from inner, against the outer mould--> thereby making the inner wall compacted, pressed and smooth.  Meanwhile, those fake, those Jigger-machined pots if they show lines, they are CONCENTRIC and continuous circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.

Therfore, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, jagged lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen "Workbench Lines/Marks".
