As the most popular drink in the world (after water), tea is no stranger to us. But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know that they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are mentioned.
The tea sets in the Tang Dynasty were simple while the ones in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). In the Song Dynasty, the competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a curved (弧形的) mouth, which could control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then. The color matches the tea better and the thickness of the cup can help keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple again, and those made of gold and silver gradually disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu flourished and were loved widely. It is said that tea made by Yixing's purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.
