Introduction to the final payment: the Jinding trademark, that is, Wu Desheng Zisha pottery shop (also known as company or shop) in the Republic of China, was established by Wu Hanwen in the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916). The store is located near Jiaoqiao Bridge in Yixing County. In the early period, it was printed as a small square seal in the Yang script of "Wu Desheng", and the bottom cover was used simultaneously. Later, it was printed as the Dafang chapter of Yangwen zhenshu "made by Wu Desheng". In the middle period, it was printed as "Wu Desheng System" and "Yixing Wu Desheng System". In the late 1920s, the owner Wu Hanwen established the famous trademark "Jinding trademark" as the shop name of "Wu Desheng". The printing of "Jinding Brand" takes the tripod as the pattern in the center, and the four corners are printed with "Jinding Brand" in regular script, which is dedicated to ordering bottles for "Wudesheng" shop. In the later Wu Han Dynasty, the seal "Pine and Crane Pavilion" was also printed on the refined pot in regular script. The seal of "Wu Desheng" and "Jinding trademark" is sealed on the bottom of the pot, and the seal of the pot maker is usually printed on the lid. At that time, Yan Ru, Chu Yinlan, Wang Xichen, Feng Guilin, etc. specially made purple sand tea pots for Wu Desheng. The artist who specially engraved for Wu Desheng was Ren Ganting. Yu Guoliang, Cheng ShouZhen, Zhu Kexin, Wang Baogen, Wu yungen, Wang Yinchun, etc. often ordered blanks. In the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), Wu Hanwen set up a "Wu Desheng" branch in Shanghai, mainly selling purple clay products. The tea pot made by Wu Hanwen himself was also made by Wu Desheng in the early period. After the outbreak of the war of resistance against Japan, "Wu Desheng" closed down, and the printing of "Wu Desheng" and "Jinding trademark" continued until the end of 1939.
