About This Novel
With Shushan Mountain to the east and Li River to the west, the story begins with a Liaohu teahouse on Gunan Street, Gushu Town, Jiangnan. Every inch of land in the "mud of Huanglong Mountain" is precious, and the handed down master's pot is even more expensive. A pot carries the ingenuity of the pot maker, the discernment of the pot hider, the integrity of the pot appraiser, and the covetousness of speculators. The novel takes the legend of three generations of the Ge family of the purple sand family as the main line, connecting the past events of a century since the late Qing Dynasty to the present. Monk hat teapots, tie-beam teapots, buck melon teapots, Mengchen teapots, double-butterfly teapots... In the tiny space of teapots, the centuries-old history of Chinese purple sand craftsmanship and cultural development slowly unfolds. The art of purple sand is passed down to inherit the family's prosperity. The coating of the pot is also the coating of people.
