History briefing🍵:

Traditional tea processing techniques and their associated social practices in China were added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on November 29, 2022. Tea is  a part of the Chinese daily routine and of occasions – and thereby truly embedded as part of the overall Chinese culture. That's why there were so many craftsman in China since thousands years ago. The well-known Jianzhan tea ware is one of the eight famous Chinese teacup making kiln site in Jianyang. "Jian" means Jianyang and "Zhan" means cups.

The development: The culture of valuing literati and neglecting military personnel, and the gradual spread of tea tasting and tea fighting laid the foundation for the popularity of Jianzhan teaware. Besides, the development of commerce and handicraft industry, social stability and population gathering paved the way for its popularity. Jianzhan tea ware, as the name suggests, refers to the black glazed tea bowl produced in Jianyang, Fujian Province. Its birth is closely related to the tea fighting culture in the Song Dynasty, which was a fashion in the society at that time and people making tea competed to see who made more delicious tea and for the exquisite and unique tea utensils. Under this background, Jianzhan tea ware came into being and quickly became one of the best tea ware for fighting tea. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of public aesthetic level, Jianzhan tea ware has been recognized and accepted by more and more people and is also appreciated by collectors and porcelain lovers.

In our view, this not only needs to be protected from generation to generation, but also needs to keep pace with present times and bring forth the new ones. Jianzhan culture has a long, extensive and profound history, with high appreciation value, cultural value as well as economic value. 

So thanks for everyone who loves Chinese teacups and tea culture. It really helps us to inherit Chinese tea culture and make it more popular. Hope the tea culture  can be keep forever and becomes more vibrant!
