Abstract

The Yixing Zisha teapot hand-beating forming technique is a unique method of tea ware formation in China. This technique is a combination of the existing pottery-making skills in Yixing and the local special clay, which contributes to its unique characteristics. Its most distinctive feature is the use of wooden mallets to form the teapot's body on a potter's wheel. This paper systematically reviewed the historical process of the formation of the Yixing Zisha teapot hand-beating technique. The paper focused on its tool classification and the specific production process. Additionally, it analysed the clay used in Yixing Zisha. The single clay characteristics of Yixing Zisha were one of the important reasons that promote the formation of this technique. It referred to the fact that the mined clay can be directly used for teapot making after refining, without the need for a clay formula. This feature was not present in other famous pottery production areas in China. During the period when the clay formula of ancient Chinese ceramics was not well developed, it was conducive to the development of this technique. Through the introduction of the tools and specific production methods of the Zisha teapot hand-beating technique, readers can gain a systematic understanding of it.
