正在广州热展的它们是现代茶壶的"源头"-中新网

　　“水为茶之母，器为茶之父”。
　　我们现在通常把饮茶器具称为“茶具”。但在古代，用于饮茶的“器”和“具”是有区分的。
　　按《茶经》的划分，“茶器”是指用于生火、煮茶、烤茶、碾茶、量茶、分茶、取水、盛水、滤水、盛盐、取盐、饮茶等用具。而“茶具”是指用于采茶、蒸茶、成型、干燥、封藏和记数的用具。
　　可见唐代的“茶具”与现在的茶具基本上没什么关系，而《茶经》中部分“茶器”则相当于现在的茶具。
　　直到南宋，审安老人写《茶具图赞》时，才将以往被称作“茶器”的饮茶器具改称为“茶具”，并一直沿用至今。
　　在林林总总的茶具中，茶壶自然是必不可少，泡茶、斟茶都要用它。虽说茶壶的造型有200多种，但万变不离其宗，茶壶都是壶状的，有嘴、有盖、有把儿或提梁。
　　茶壶的这种造型，我们已是司空见惯。不过，从古代的“壶”到现在的“茶壶”，却经历了一个漫长的演变过程。
　　鸡首壶曾是当年“最流行”
　　有人问：为何古人喜欢把壶嘴做成鸡首和羊首的模样？其中有何寓意？这是因为三国两晋南北朝的青瓷多以动物造型为装饰，这些动物造型又各有其特殊寓意。如蛙、鱼等象征“繁衍”；而鸡和羊则代表“吉祥”，且古人还认为鸡有文、武、勇、仁、信五德。
　　在这种观念影响下，鸡首壶和羊首壶在魏晋南北朝、隋及唐初曾流行一时，尤其是鸡首壶，是大众最喜爱最常用的器具之一。
　　“注子”“汤瓶”唐代亮相
　　唐代的“注子”由盘口变成撇口，颈部变得粗短，器身变高呈圆筒状，有的有系，有的无系。“鸡头”“羊头”被简化为短小的管状流，流和把手依旧在器物肩部两侧，与茶壶的造型更为接近。
　　这种“注子”还有个别称叫“偏提”，大约是因其把手安于一侧，与有系穿绳的老壶提法不同之故。
　　“注子”虽然像茶壶，但在唐代主要是酒器而不是茶具，既能盛酒，又可注酒于酒杯中。
　　在“注子”造型的基础上，从唐代末期开始，人们又研制出一种新的茶具——“汤瓶”。
　　“汤瓶”的出现，是因应了古人喝茶方式的改变。唐人吃的是煎茶，有点类似于今天的擂茶，会加入一些食物混在一起吃。至陆羽后才开始提倡“清饮”，只在茶饮中加一点盐。
　　宋代以后，转而流行吃“点茶”。所谓“点茶”，就是将磨好后的茶粉置于茶盏内，逐步加入沸水，同时以茶筅击拂，使茶粉融于沸水，茶汤产生“汤花”，“汤花”以白为美，以持久为上。
　　因要在茶盏内注入沸水，“汤瓶”便应运而生。“汤瓶”用于煮水或盛沸水，用“汤瓶”向茶盏中冲注的动作称为“点”。故审安老人在《茶具图赞》中将“汤瓶”命名为“汤提点”。
　　早期的汤瓶，继承了注子流短而置于肩部的特点，瓶口往往高于流，造成器内无法灌满，倾侧倒水也不方便。后来，人们将流和把手的下端从肩部往下移到腹部，上端与瓶口等高，并改名为“执壶”。
　　“茶壶”于明代正式出现
　　明洪武二十四年(公元1391年)，朱元璋下诏废团茶，改贡叶茶，从而又改“点茶”为泡茶。“茶壶”一名，也于此时正式出现。
　　同时，叶茶的使用，使明代的茶壶有别于早期的汤瓶、执壶。因饮茶方式已改变，其功能完全不同，汤壶类似于现在的开水壶，茶壶则专门用于泡茶、斟茶。
　　明代的茶壶，最大的特点是崇尚紫砂或瓷制的小茶壶。如文震亨说：“壶以砂者为上，盖既不夺香，又无熟汤气。”张谦德说：“茶性狭，壶过大则香不聚，容一、两升足矣。”
　　一个小小的茶壶，竟有如此曲折多变的历史演变，我国茶文化的博大精深由此可见一斑。

6 Heritage Venues To Enjoy Dim Sum In Hong Kong

In 1991, Ip Wing-chi, who has always been fond of tea appreciation, Chinese calligraphy and Chinese music, set up Lock Cha, which was relocated to its current Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware in Hong Kong Park in 2003. “Lock Cha means the joy of drinking tea whereas Ork Cha (another Cantonese pronunciation for the character “lock”) means music and tea—I’m fine with both,” says Ip. In this cream-coloured colonial building surrounded by birds and flowers, diners get to choose from a long menu of 60 types of tea while listening to Cantonese naamyam songs or gu qin music by So See Dai, an expert of the ancient Chinese string instrument (unavailable temporarily due to the pandemic). “I look for the tip-top qualities in both the food and drinks,” Ip says. Each table has its own kettle to brew hot tea, which is served in porcelain cups and clay kettles of various sizes according to the tea leaves’ nature. Ip recommends the aged Zhen Shan brown pu’er, which has a mellow and clean taste and a smooth texture. The old Liubao, Lion Peak Mingqian Longjing, white peony, old tree Shuixian and narcissus white are all popular choices due to their rarity in the city.

Huls Gallery Brings the Fine Art of Serveware and Teaware to Singapore

In the three years since it has opened its doors in Singapore, Huls Gallery has become synonymous with Japanese arts and craftsmanship. The craft gallery has, from day one, set out to bring the unique Japanese culture to our shores with a curated selection of artisanal drinkware, tableware and cookware, spanning from ceramics and lacquerware to textile, wood and bamboo crafts.

THE ART OF TEA
Just like the world of crafts, the art of preparing and drinking tea is very profound. Besides appreciating the tea, the types of pots and cups used in making it is yet another art form in itself. This is one of the reasons why Japanese teaware is one of the most popular categories among the gallery’s beautifully made yet functional objects.
