That is, Li Yangxin. Ming Dynasty Jiajing, Wanlijian (1522-1619) Yixing pot maker. No. Maolin. People from Yixing, Jiangsu, and Wuyuan, Jiangxi. Birth and death are unknown. The "four famous masters" (Dong Han, Zhao Liang, Yuan Xi, Shi Peng) were famous potters who were good at making small round pots. They are known as "famous playmakers" in the world. They are simple and beautiful. It ranks fourth, so it is also named after the "Little Round Pot Li Silaoguan". There is no signature on the pot, just the number of the book. The original pots were all attached to the vat kiln for firing, without being sealed with saggar, and stained with vat glaze tears. Since self-cultivation, the pot has been made into a tile bag and closed into the ceramic cavity to prevent the sand pot from staining glaze tears. The quality of the sand pot has been greatly improved. Son Li Zhongfang was also a famous pot maker at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Gaoqi's "Yang envies the tea pot system. At the beginning": "Li Maolin, the fourth line, is known as nourishing the heart. It is made in a small round style, and is grinded in a simple manner. It is allowed to play. Since then, the pot has been made into a separate tile bag, and closed into the pottery hole. Therefore, the former pot can not avoid being stained with oil and tears in the jar." Ming Chen Zhenhui's "Autumn Garden Miscellaneous Pendant" said that the art of nourishing the heart is above Shi Dabin, and it is a powerful enemy for the spring festival. There are few works handed down. In the Republic of China, Li Jingkang and Zhang Hong's "Examination of the Painting of Yang Xian's Sand Pot. The Founding": "From Zhengde to Wanli, Li Maolin began to make a small round pot, which is actually the ancestor of Yang Xian's small pot." Gu Jingzhou's "Yixing Purple Sand Treasure", which contains Li Yangxin's "chrysanthemum eight petal pot", and the four-character regular script version of "made by Li Maolin" on the bottom, is a collection of Hong Kong Tea Set Cultural Relics Museum.
