壶艺茶道相融合·养生保健胜妙方

— — 吴海龙紫砂养生产业初探

中国工艺美术大师吴海龙是吴氏陶艺第五代传人,他创立的紫砂 陶艺品牌“吴氏金鼎壶”汇聚了百年匠心,千年文化,以独具特色的非 物质文化遗产成为国家注册商标。走出国门,享誉全球。吴海龙还将 壶艺和茶道深度融合,不仅使“吴氏金鼎壶” 赏心悦目,具有很强的艺 术价值和审美功能,而且在赏壶品茶后养生健体,很好地起到了非药物疗法之功效,广受国内外紫砂和茶艺圈内人的青睐。

吴海龙善于挖掘和总结吴氏前辈的养生经验,有一套独特的保健理念。他深谙壶艺,也熟知茶道。因为紫砂壶的实用功能,首推以壶煮茶泡茶。捧壶论紫砂,饮茶谈茶道,使壶艺与茶道融为一体,是一 种高雅的文化艺术活动,凝聚了古代先贤的文化智慧。进入现代文明 社会,呼应现代人新的生活方式,满足日益进步的物质需求和精神追 求。吴海龙追本溯源,由壶艺推究茶道。他认为,茶起源于中国,兴 盛于唐宋,吸天地之精华,伴日月而生长。他说“神农尝百草, 日遇 七十二毒,得茶而解之” 。于是,茶叶由原始森林吸云饮露的草木成 为人们消毒提神、解乏去困的仙药。古人早就以茶叶调制冲泡,既是 “柴米油盐酱醋茶”开门七件事不可或缺的日常生活,又是“琴棋书画诗酒茶”文人雅士精神文化生活的重要元素。我国有悠久的茶文化,经过一代代茶人之巧手,培育制作了六大类数千种茶叶。其绿茶、红 茶、白茶、青茶、黄茶、黑茶,加上龙井、祁红、大红袍、黄金桂不 同的地域特色,形态多异,蔚为壮观。长期的养生实践已经充分证明, 喝茶能使人焕发精神、延年益寿。相传唐代唐玄宗之女永乐公主自幼 体弱多病,面容干瘪,后经高人指点,经常泡茶饮服,后来出落得如 花似玉、异常健美。根据科学测试,茶中含有丰富的生物碱、蛋白质、 氨基酸、微量元素等多种营养成分,长久饮服,能增进食欲、溶解脂 肪、抑菌消炎、提神健脑。茶本身已包含了深厚的文化,不负上苍厚 爱,既是物质的,也是精神的,形成了多姿多彩的茶道茶艺文化。由 形而下的生活方式上升为形而上的精神享受,登入文化殿堂雅座,注 入文化、饮食、人生等哲理元素,同时讲究品饮艺术,从选茗、选水、备具、烹煮至品饮,追求美的享受。小小一片茶叶,吸取日月精华,在优质泉水中自我膨胀开来,将精华融入茶水,使人的精气神得到充分蓄养,升华到一个新的境界。

随着茶文化的不断拓展,紫砂文化随之兴起。宜兴紫砂壶享有“世间茶具称为首”之美誉,究其原因,在于其与茶文化的深度融合中,呈现出在材质、工艺、使用功能及文化上无可比拟的优势。紫砂泥矿 土是宜兴特有的一种含铁质、黏土质和粉矿岩的自然特殊矿土,被称 为“岩中岩”“泥中泥” 。紫砂矿土经风化、粉碎、炼制后的泥料具有可 塑性强、干燥收缩率小及透气性好的特点。紫砂泥具有较强的粘合力, 不粘手、不粘工具,有良好的成型性能,使制壶艺人自由发挥,创作 出千姿百态的紫砂茗壶。“吴氏金鼎壶”就是紫砂百花园中的一朵奇葩, 在光货、方货和花货制作中,形成了自己独特的技艺。吴海龙家中珍 藏了数吨黄龙山紫泥,有底槽清、天青泥、老紫泥、紫茄泥等。吴海 龙传承吴氏先人的工匠精神,重视制壶的每一道工序,每一个细,首 先就是选取优质的紫砂泥料。在此基础上,他勤于观察,精心构思, 巧妙设计,将吴氏家传的审美理念恰到好处的融入每一件作品之中。 细细欣赏他的每一件作品,从壶身、壶钮、壶嘴至把手,都是相互呼 应,相得益彰,构成一个和谐完美的艺术整体。这里,我们不妨一起来欣赏他的两件代表作品。

其一是“ 哈密瓜壶”。吴海龙选用了温润细腻的黄龙山段泥,以新 疆出产的哈密瓜为壶体,以瓜的枝、藤、叶分别作为壶的把手、壶嘴、 壶钮,以不同颜色的段泥装饰壶体纹理,采用立体造型的手法,把饱 满的枝叶通过壶把巧妙地覆盖到壶面上,丝丝入扣,惟妙惟肖。哈密 瓜粗糙的表皮、鲜嫩的枝叶,逼真细腻、婀娜多姿,在大自然中焕发 出蓬勃向上的生命气息,高奏出一曲生机勃勃的田园牧歌。那小小的一把壶,既是大自然产物的真实写照,又是创作者才思的艺术结晶。

其二是“彩蝶壶”。吴海龙采用虚实结合的手法,以一个花瓣为壶 面,以一只舞动的花蝴蝶为壶钮,以花藤叶蔓作为壶把壶嘴,前后呼 应。正面欣赏,花瓣盛开,藤摇叶卷,一只花蝴蝶翩翩而来,舞动着伏扑于花蕊之上,尽情吮吸着大自然的芬芳。壶型饱满,线条挺括,删繁就简,高雅脱俗。几种不同色彩的泥料丰富了整体造型,十分和 谐,给人带来一幅风拂花香、蝶飞春暖的美丽图景。动与静的结合更使人赏心悦目。以上两件作品都在国家级比赛中荣获金奖。

“吴氏金鼎壶”成型以后,吴海龙小心翼翼的加以干燥到一定程度 以后,进入老窑烧制,其窑温必须保证在 1150 度以上。其绞泥壶用 的是祖传配方,每一件泥在色彩的搭配和份量的分配上都有不同变化。 均以纱布包裹数天后打压,而且都是双面绞泥,穿透力非常强,烧制也不容易开裂。

为了真正起到养生保健效果,吴海龙还十分讲究茗壶的取水和用 水。取来的泉水出于紫砂水缸,然后以他的养生壶烧煮沸腾后,再加 以过滤。在壶里的茶水取其 5 公分以上的,因为在 5 公分下的茶水含 有超量的重金属元素。饮茶还需讲究时间差异,上午喝绿茶,可以消 炎排毒。茶能杀死胃肠粘膜里的细菌,减轻细菌的毒性,起到消炎止 泻的作用,并有一种强力的抗氧化功能,抑制细胞衰老,抑制致癌物 质。下午饮红茶,能增进食欲,促进胃肠蠕动,加快消化吸收,还能 扩张心脏血管,改善心肌供血,调节脂肪代谢,降低胆固醇,防止心脑血管疾病的发生。

人的肉体受控于生物基因,而人的灵魂受到先于个体存在的“文 化基因” 的控制。吴海龙认为茶具具有使人健康的物质基础,又有让 人愉悦的精神涵养,从美的感受中调节心理,使心理健康与躯体健康 并驾齐驱,拥有“健康养老” 的人生福祉。坚守先辈古朴严谨的传统工 艺,继承高雅简练的独特技法,注重表达力度和生命气息。他依据日 趋盛行的“茶道”,采用多样化的制壶手法,设计制作出与新的饮茶方 式相匹配的茗壶杰作。他或雕或缕,或捏或塑,将一段段紫泥演绎为 一件件精美的保健艺术品,既有养生实用功能,又有赏心悦目的审美价值。他制作的养生光器外形精致,轮廓分明,简洁高雅。他出品的养生花器造型逼真,纹理清晰,疏密有致。他仿效苏东坡制作的提梁 养生壶,造型高古,壶体与提梁虚实对比,直线干净利落,曲线流畅奔放,静如高僧静坐,吉祥安逸; 曲似美女浣纱,流水有声。

吴海龙精湛的壶艺能养气。他依据紫砂泥的柔性和色彩,从造型、 刻章、铭文、绘画到篆刻,都洋溢着文化情趣,跟随他的构思来感悟。 可以跟道家学大气,跟佛家学静气,跟儒家学正气,让人大道为心,自然为意, 日月为形,天地为神,进入养生仙境。

“吴氏金鼎壶”能养心。修身在于养心,养心务求本真。品茶中把 玩茗壶,通过茶人的口、舌、鼻、眼、手等感官充分体会与享受。捧 于手中,舒筋活血;饮茶生津,温及肠胃;纯洁真诚,沁入脑际; 自然天成,享受无穷乐趣。

在社会进步,经济发展,物质财富增加,生活节奏加快的时 代背景下,人们在追求物质享受,保障身体健康的同时,更加注 重对精神文化的追求。青山绿水,碧野芳草,茗壶泡茶,美妙绝 伦。为进一步促进紫砂文化和养生事业的发展,吴海龙先后创办了“ 吴氏陶艺” 、“ 吴海龙紫砂艺术馆” 和 “ 吴氏金鼎”品牌商标。作为对外交流的重要窗口, 由此吸引了海内外无数爱好者的目光。许多人纷至沓来,在传统的饮茶习惯的基础上变得更加丰富多彩。吴海龙始终不忘家风家训,“一生只做一件事,一 事只怀一颗心” ,将他的壶艺和茶道深度融合,把非药物疗法的紫砂养生事业推向一个新的境地。

The integration of teapot art and tea ceremony, a miraculous recipefor health preservation and wellness

— — Preliminary Exploration of Wu Hailong's Purple Sand HealthPreservation Industry

Chinese master of arts and crafts, Wu Hailong, is the fifthgeneration descendant of Wu's pottery. The purple clay pottery brandhe founded, "Wu's Golden Tripod Pot," embodies a century ofcraftsmanship and a millennium of culture, and has become a nationallyregistered trademark with its unique intangible cultural heritage. Goabroad and enjoy a global reputation. Wu Hailong also deeply integratesthe art of teapot and tea ceremony, not only making the "Wu's GoldenTripod Pot" pleasing to the eye, with strong artistic value and aestheticfunction, but also promoting health and wellness after appreciating thepot and tasting tea, effectively serving as a non pharmacological therapy,and widely favored by people in the purple clay and tea art circles athome and abroad.

Wu Hailong is adept at exploring and summarizing the healthexperience of Wu's predecessors, and has a unique set of healthconcepts. He is well versed in pot art and also familiar with teaceremony. Due to the practical function of the purple clay teapot, it isrecommended to use the teapot to brew tea. Holding a teapot to discuss purple clay and drinking tea to discuss tea ceremony, integrating teapotart with tea ceremony, is an elegant cultural and artistic activity thatembodies the cultural wisdom of ancient sages. Entering moderncivilized society, it echoes the new way of life of modern people, meetsthe increasingly progressive material needs and spiritual pursuits. WuHailong traced back to the origin and deduced the tea ceremony fromthe pot art. He believed that tea originated in China and flourished in theTang and Song Dynasties. It absorbed the essence of heaven and earthand grew with the sun and the moon. He said, "Shen Nong tasted ahundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons a day, and obtainedtea to relieve them.". So, tea transformed from the grass and trees thatsucked clouds and drank dew in the primitive forest into the elixir forpeople to disinfect, refresh, and relieve fatigue. The ancients have long used tea to brew and blend tea, which is not only an indispensable partof daily life for the seven essential tasks of "firewood, rice, oil, salt, soysauce, vinegar, and tea", but also an important element of the spiritualand cultural life of literati and literati in "qin, qi, calligraphy, painting,poetry, wine, and tea". Our country has a long tea culture, and throughgenerations of skilled tea makers, we have cultivated and producedthousands of types of tea in six major categories. Its green tea, black tea, white tea, green tea, yellow tea, black tea, combined with the differentregional characteristics of Longjing, Qihong, Dahongpao, andHuangjingui, have diverse forms and are magnificent. Long term health practices have fully proven that drinking tea can rejuvenate one's spirit and prolong life. According to legend, Princess Yongle, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, was weak and sickly from a youngage, with a withered face. Later, under the guidance of a master, sheoften brewed tea and drank clothes. Later on, she became exceptionallybeautiful and beautiful like a flower. According to scientific testing, teacontains rich nutrients such as alkaloids, proteins, amino acids, and traceelements. Long term consumption can enhance appetite, dissolve fat,inhibit bacteria and inflammation, and invigorate the mind. Tea itself contains a profound culture that does not disappoint the love of theheavens. It is both material and spiritual, forming a colorful teaceremony and tea art culture. Ascending from a physical lifestyle to a metaphysical spiritual enjoyment, stepping into the cultural palace, injecting philosophical elements such as culture, food, and life, while emphasizing the art of drinking, from selecting tea, selecting water,preparing utensils, cooking to drinking, pursuing the enjoyment ofbeauty. A small piece of tea absorbs the essence of the sun and themoon, expands itself in the high-quality spring water, and integrates the essence into the tea water, so that people's spirit can be fully stored andsublimed to a new level.

With the continuous expansion of tea culture, purple sand culturehas emerged. The Yixing purple clay teapot enjoys the reputation ofbeing the world's leading tea set. The reason for this is that in its deepintegration with tea culture, it presents unparalleled advantages inmaterial, craftsmanship, functional use, and culture. Zisha mud mineral soil is a natural special mineral soil unique to Yixing, which contains iron, clay, and fine mineral rocks, known as "rock in rock" and "mud in mud". The clay produced by weathering, crushing, and refining of purple sand ore soil has the characteristics of strong plasticity, low drying shrinkagerate, and good air permeability. Purple clay has strong adhesion, is notsticky to hands or tools, and has good molding performance, allowingpot makers to freely unleash their creativity and create a variety ofpurple clay teapots. "Wu's Golden Tripod Pot" is a unique flower in thePurple Sand Hundred Flowers Garden, which has developed its ownunique skills in the production of light goods, square goods, and flowergoods. Wu Hailong's family treasures several tons of HuanglongMountain purple mud, including Dicao Qing, Tianqing Mud, Lao Zi Mud, Purple Eggplant Mud, etc. Wu Hailong inherits the craftsmanship spirit of the ancestors of the Wu family, attaches great importance to everyprocess and detail of pot making, and first and foremost selectshigh-quality purple clay. On this basis, he is diligent in observation,carefully conceived, and cleverly designed, perfectly integrating theaesthetic concepts passed down by the Wu family into every work.Appreciate each of his works in detail, from the pot body, button, spoutto handle, all of which echo and complement each other, forming aharmonious and perfect artistic whole. Here, let's enjoy his tworepresentative works together.

One is the "Hami melon pot". Wu Hailong chose the warm anddelicate Huanglong Mountain mud, using Hami melons produced inXinjiang as the pot body. The branches, vines, and leaves of the melons were used as the handles, spouts, and buttons of the pot, respectively. The texture of the pot body was decorated with different colored mudsections, and a three-dimensional modeling technique was used tocleverly cover the full branches and leaves on the surface of the potthrough the pot handle, with intricate and lifelike details. The rough skin and tender branches and leaves of cantaloupe are lifelike, delicate, andgraceful, radiating a vigorous and upward vitality in nature, a vibrantpastoral song. That small pot is not only a true reflection of nature'sproducts, but also an artistic crystallization of the creator's talent.

The second is the "colorful butterfly pot". Wu Hailong adopts acombination of virtual and real techniques, using a petal as the surface of the pot, a dancing butterfly as the button, and a vine and leaf vine asthe handle and spout, echoing back and forth. Appreciating from thefront, the petals are in full bloom, the vines are swaying and the leaves are rolling. A butterfly is gracefully approaching, dancing and pouncingon the stamens, fully sucking on the fragrance of nature. The pot shapeis full, the lines are straight, the complexity is simplified, and it is elegantand refined. Several different colored clay materials enrich the overallshape, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene of the fragrance of flowers and the warmth of butterflies flying in spring. The combination of motion and stillness is more pleasing to the eye. Both of the aboveworks have won gold medals in national competitions.

After the Wu's Golden Tripod Pot was formed, Wu Hailong carefully dried it to a certain degree before entering the old kiln for firing. The kilntemperature must be ensured to be above 1150 degrees. The claymixing pot uses an ancestral formula, and each piece of clay undergoes different changes in color matching and ingredient distribution. All arewrapped in gauze and pressed after a few days, and they aredouble-sided twisted mud with strong penetration and are not easy tocrack during firing.

In order to truly achieve health benefits, Wu Hailong also pays greatattention to the water intake and usage of the teapot. The spring wateris taken from the purple sand water tank, and then boiled in his healthpot before being filtered. Take more than 5 centimeters of tea in the pot,as tea below 5 centimeters contains excessive amounts of heavy metalelements. Drinking tea also requires attention to time differences.Drinking green tea in the morning can reduce inflammation anddetoxification. Tea can kill bacteria in the gastrointestinal mucosa,reduce bacterial toxicity, have anti-inflammatory and anti diarrhealeffects, and have a strong antioxidant function, inhibit cell aging, andinhibit carcinogens. Drinking black tea in the afternoon can enhanceappetite, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, accelerate digestion andabsorption, expand heart blood vessels, improve myocardial bloodsupply, regulate fat metabolism, lower cholesterol, and prevent theoccurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The human body is controlled by biological genes, while the humansoul is controlled by cultural genes that exist before the individual. WuHailong believes that tea sets have the material basis for people's health,as well as pleasant spiritual self-restraint. They adjust psychology fromthe feeling of beauty, so that mental health and physical health go handin hand, and have the life happiness of "healthy pension". Adhering tothe ancient and rigorous traditional craftsmanship of our ancestors,inheriting elegant and concise unique techniques, and emphasizingexpression and vitality. Based on the increasingly popular "teaceremony" and using diverse techniques to make teapots, he designedand produced masterpieces that matched the new way of drinking tea.He carved, twisted, or sculpted sections of purple clay into exquisitehealth artworks, which not only have practical health benefits but alsohave pleasing aesthetic value. The health preserving light vessel hemade has a delicate appearance, clear contours, and is simple andelegant. The health preserving floral ware he produces has a realisticshape, clear texture, and exquisite density. He imitated the lifting beam health pot made by Su Dongpo, with a high and ancient design. The pot body contrasts with the lifting beam in both virtual and real, with a cleanand clean straight line and smooth curves, as calm as a monk sittingquietly, auspicious and comfortable; The melody is like a beautifulwoman washing her veil, and the flowing water makes a sound.

Wu Hailong's superb potting skills can nourish qi. Based on theflexibility and color of purple clay, he exudes cultural charm in hisdesigns, inscriptions, paintings, and seal carving, following his ideas tocomprehend. You can learn grandeur from Taoism, calmness fromBuddhism, and righteousness from Confucianism, so that the Tao is the heart, nature is the will, the sun and moon are the form, and heaven andearth are the gods, entering a health preserving fairyland.

"Wu's Golden Cauldron Pot" can nourish the heart. Self cultivationlies in nourishing the heart, and cultivating the heart seeks the trueessence. Playing with the teapot during tea tasting allows the tea personto fully experience and enjoy through their senses such as mouth,tongue, nose, eyes, and hands. Hold it in your hand, relax your muscles and promote blood circulation; Drinking tea produces saliva, warmingthe intestines and stomach; Pure and sincere, seeping into the mind;Naturally formed, enjoy endless fun.

Green mountains and waters, lush green fields and fragrant grass, brewing tea in a teapot, the beauty is unparalleled. In order to further promote the developmentof purple sand culture and health preservation, Wu Hailong hassuccessively established the "Wu's Ceramic Art", "Wu Hailong Purple Sand Art Museum", and "Wu's Golden Ding" brand trademarks. As animportant window for external communication, it has attracted theattention of countless enthusiasts at home and abroad. Many peopleflock here, becoming more diverse and colorful on the basis oftraditional tea drinking habits.
