| Tea is not only a kind of beverage,but also a cultural symbol.The process of tea drinking has been elevated to a realm of tea spirit.The whole tea activities,including the use of tea sets,have gone beyond the material level and integrated more spiritual and cultural connotations.The Tang Dynasty,as the heyday of the development of Chinese history,was also the initial period of tea culture.The development of tea culture in Tang Dynasty had a profound influence on the cultural life,aesthetic art and etiquette activities of the Tang Dynasty and the later generations.China is the hometown of porcelain and tea.Tea culture and ceramic culture both have a long history in China.Ceramic culture is constantly changing with the development of tea culture,and the two are inseparable.Ancient people paid attention to tea drinking,not only paying attention to the taste of tea and the way of drinking,but also the use of tea ware and plastic arts and aesthetics.Changsha Kiln,also named Tongguan Kiln,is one of the huge kiln sites in southern China in Tang Dynasty.The site is located in the northern suburb of Changsha,Hunan province,from Shizhu Lake to Tongguan Town,Shizhu Wazhaping area.After years of archaeological excavations,it was found that a large number of tea sets,such as bowls,cups,bottles,pots and stoves,were unearthed from Changsha Kiln,and there were even tea wares clearly written with "tea cups","tea bowls" "tea bottles".The firing of a large number of porcelain tea sets reflected the rise of tea drinking fashion at that time.The special research on Changsha kiln tea sets can expand the research scope of Changsha kiln porcelain tea sets and the tea culture in Tang Dynasty,which not only improves the integrity of the systematic study of Changsha kiln,but also reveals the social culture and spiritual outlook of the Tang Dynasty. |
