“water is the mother of tea and the father of tea”. This is a saying about the teapot's position in the chinese tea lane. With the rapid economic and social development, the culture of tea has ushered in a world in which more and more tea-loving people have set their targets on the deep, old iron pot of our neighbour。
Beijing and history
From tang dynasty, the japanese tea track was sent to china to bring back the buddhist and tea culture of the then chinese tang dynasty to japan. In 805 a. D., since tang's return day, the missionary master brought chinese tea all over the world, and became popular in japanese buddhist monasteries with the rise of tea and tea culture in tang song。
Long before 1800 (five years ago), japan had developed a series of tea troves, such as tether bottles (200 years before the end of the millennium), thermostats, hand-pickers, and a wide variety of trophies, the process of their production and their absorption, as well as the flourishing of the tea lanes, are important grounds for determining the original shape of the iron bottle。
Although the origin of the kettle is mixed, the addition of hand over the tea sheet used in the japanese tea lanes should be the beginning of the pot, the most widely accepted. In the ancient documents of the edo era (1780s, 45 years of dry dynasty) it is written that “the name of the bottle, it is clear that it began to be popular in this period and should have existed well before it, and that during the period of mingjig (1868-1912 a. D., 7 years of the same treatment and 7 years of the people's republic of china), the use of the kettle was more widespread in the tea lanes, as well as in the many beautiful and sophisticated canteens produced during this period。
The japanese iron kettle dates back to the edo period, during which it was cut off by changes in japanese tea culture. Almost every household uses it, and the fine iron kettle is often given as a gift to relatives and friends. Boiled with old iron canteens, which, on the one hand, absorb chlorine ions in water, on the other hand, release iron ions in the boiled water, supplement the iron needed daily in the human body and prevent and reduce hypertension, which is very helpful to people with high blood pressure. The old canteen boils water, which improves the temperature, softens water quality, makes the water sweet, salivating, salivating and full of water. When you drink tea, you have a lot of work to do。
By using raw iron as a raw material, a particular culture of the old iron canteen is created through casting, together with the artistic design of the author. In terms of the price of the collection market, the price of the old iron pot is cheaper than that of the new iron pot made by modern celebrities. The stock of old japanese iron pots is also diminishing, and prices are soaring。
Ironpot
Today, apart from the continuous creation and production of southern iron, the much-regarded kyoto iron instrument has been cut off during the period of zhao zhao zhao by a change in japanese tea culture, so that the kyoto iron bottle, which is now seen as a copper-cover system such as the dragon hall, has been in existence for at least decades. Over the past century or 200 years, the iron kettle has become very popular in japan. Iron canteens are used in almost every household, and beautiful canteens are often given among family and friends as noble gifts。
The most famous of the iron pots are the kyoto three pussies, mountain castes, longhama's clearing house, kyoto's dragon hall and the southern iron instrument, which is known for its copper caps and some even buy copper caps in japan。
It is worth mentioning that the southern iron apparatus began to become visible throughout the country only during the mejlis period. The reason for this is that during his visit to the 8th generation of koizumi during his 41st year (1908) as the emperor and the crown prince, the southern iron apparatus opened its visibility throughout the country, thanks to a high degree of appreciation of the fine work done, as well as by the journalists who accompanied him and reported in major newspapers。
Ironpot process
The japanese old iron canteen found differently from modern times, when it used a decorative technique, and once each of the canteens had been made, it had to be broken into molds to be found。
And since the old canteens were made in a purely handmade fashion, they would never be made in the same way, having a global uniqueness in their appearance, a rare antiquities of centuries, and a water vessel of artistic and practical value. You can use it as a daily boiler, or as an art, or as an antique。
The original history of the japanese kettle is somewhat blurred, but the source is clear: in western sources, it has been noted without exception that the japanese iron kettle originates from tang song boiler in china. The japanese iron kettle dates back to the edo period in japan, hundreds of years ago。
Today, apart from the continuous creation and production of the southern iron, the kyoto iron, which is now of great interest, has been cut off by changes in japanese tea culture and war during the period of zhao zhao, so that the kyoto iron bottles, such as the dragon palace, are at least decades old. Over the past century or 200 years, the iron kettle has become very popular in japan。
The iron pot
Raw iron (general)
The average japanese canteen is made of raw iron. Raw iron refers to an alloy of iron containing 2~6. 69% carbon. Or cast iron. The raw iron contains, in addition to carbon, silicon, manganese and, in small quantities, sulphur, phosphorus, etc., which is inactivable. Depending on the form of carbon in the raw iron, it can be divided into steel refining, casting and ink casting. The carbon contained in steel is mainly in the form of carbide, with white faults, usually called white baron. This raw iron is hard and hard, and is usually used as a raw material for steel. The graphite is soft and lubricated, so the casting iron has good cutting, grinding and casting properties。
Sand iron (less)
There's also kutsu sand. It's the best place in japan for sand ore and iron in the early days, but this place has disappeared from the japanese tsunami, and the sand canteen that has been passed on is a treasure
1) the raw material is sand iron. Ironsand, which has a purely natural form of iron and iron oxide powder. Compared to ordinary cast iron, the impurity in sand iron is low and almost negligible. Owing to its hardness and its high height, it has long been used as a major raw material for japanese weapons. Because of their extreme hardness, they are not suitable for processing. Together with the high cost of their raw materials themselves, there are few craftsmen who can make sandpots。
2) sand iron is produced from a magnet mine. The rock containing the magnetite is divided into sand iron. The use of sand iron in chinese medicine as an alternative to toxic cyanosis can have a chilling and hypnotic effect on the human body. Sand iron is a fine-grained magnetite, originally born, inter alia, on the sandbed of the mountain river, with the main ingredient being triazide. Alluvial iron ore is highly pure and contains very low carbon, silicon and a small number of trace elements such as titanium, and has a very high degree of light in the finished product, which is very low because of its impurity and lack of perturbability, and is very expensive, not only because of the scarcity of raw materials, but also because it is fragile and difficult to found). But it is very easily broken and cannot be repaired。
The size of the bottle
Emergency. Ironpot
In taiwan's name, the japanese iron kettle, in japanese, is called an iron bottle or an emergency. The iron bottle is probably an iron boiler with capacity above 900cc, while the emergency must be a teapot-like device below 500cc. So, for example, when the southern iron is marked as an iron bottle, you can guess the size of a large boiler, and when it is urgent you can see the size of a teapot。
Iron iron in southern japan
The term “south iron” is a generic (special) term, which refers in general to the specialty of the japanese iwatsu district, which uses traditional castries and the use of handmade raw iron。
Among the raw iron products are iron bottles (water kettles), emergency mustaches ( teapots), firecrackers (fireplaces), bottle pads, teatoes, iron pans, wind bells, and vases。
The production brands of iwaki county in japan are common in the “house of glory”, the “most of peaks”, the “thousaka” and the “ii yongjian workers”. They are of a larger scale and are also traditional processors officially recommended by japan。
Scientific applications of iron pots
Average age in japan is 85 years for women and 77 years for men (%) it may be shorter because of overwork, which is called a country with a long life, and researchers agree that it is about diet。
In recent years, it has been proven that while cooking tea and cooking food, japanese people like to cook with iron casts and irons, clean irons on the ground are constantly releasing second-priced iron ions (subtractive ion, fe2) while eating and being absorbed by the human body. In japan's longevity village, most of the people swe continue to have a habit of using iron, and the same data show that the majority of those who use iron are free of anaemia and iron deficiency。
Iron is an important ingredient of hemoglobin, myoglobin and the key respiratory enzymes, and of the enzymes that it plays an important role in transport and cell sucking. Mostly in the form of fe2. It can also be enzymes。
The iron in the human body is easily lost, but oversupply risks poisoning。
Man cannot absorb metal directly. In general iron is present mainly in the trivalent iron form of food, where gastric acid reacts with iron to produce a bivalent iron ion, which is absorbed by the human body, so it is mainly absorbed in a bivalent iron form at the top of the tactile and empty intestines。
Interesting kettle
An interesting place for an iron kettle is the sound of it。
Some old iron canteens have several different shapes of cams in their inner cores, called sound films. When the water boils, it makes noises through the crumbs of the bottom of the pot, which are very pleasant, either as a wind blow, or as a wave surge, with different effects according to the kifu process. If you want to know if your beloved canteen can make a sound, you can see the following:
1. There are sound films at the bottom
Some of the canteens have three or so pieces of iron on the bottom, which may be a little embroidery, not to be dirty, because it is precisely the sound of a carefully crafted sound made by busan, and the sound of the canteen is the sound of joy。
2. Deliberate dent at the bottom
It's more like modern techniques, where traditional foundries, or the bottoms of handmade canteens made by busan, are deliberately dimmed, and the size of the fire produces different sounds, which are very interesting。
3. The chirping of guy
In general, this technique appears to be more prevalent in the southern iron pots. The root of such pottery is low, its body is in the form of a cylinder, its bottom is wider than the cap and the lid is thinner. With these conditions, the internal pressure occurs when the water boils, and the vapour is released from the lid as it rises, at which point the kettle lid creates a banging sound with the pot。
Canteen collection and added value
After centuries of accumulation, the old japanese canteen has evolved into an iron kettle of different sizes, fine craftsmanship, craftsmen's hands, making the kettle a thousand different and attractive appliance, and when it comes to tea, you can see the way the kettle comes into the water. Relative guests can see the embedded side of the kettle, whether it's a vegan, a sculptor, or a gold and silver mosaic, as well as the taste of its owner, and the place of its collection is different from that of others
The japanese old kettle is now causing a strong cyclone in china. In recent years, the rise of tea in chinese mums has indirectly led to the development of tea tools around them. The double-priced iron produced by the canteen contributes to the health of the human body and, combined with the audacity-driven gas, makes the old canteen the brightest star in the tea. The rumours of using old iron canteens for tea in the interest of health have begun to spread in the streets and alleys of china. Chinese businessmen then went to japan to buy old iron pots, hoping to buy cheap products from their producers. However, the japanese have always sought perfection in quality. Even if supply is not needed, production is still strictly controlled, many of the early old canteens have been flowing abroad, and almost all iron instruments were turned into weapons (guns) during the second world war, resulting in a serious local shortage of goods in japan。
As in the past china’s chinese characters influenced japan’s traditional culture, today’s old iron kettle began to turn back into china, with prices rising from thousands of yen in just one year. Before the global financial tsunami, there were rumours that the unit price of refined goods had risen to over 2 million yen。
The canteen is a pot of water that can be used, and it can be a work of art, a rare antique, and when it is treated well, it will always be a pot of round and thick, rich in good water of double-priced iron, and a growing historical value
Methods of use of iron pots
The new iron kettle, which is packed with a small cup of tea and boiled for about 10 minutes before it is used, will form a sheet of the leather sheet of danning iron on the surface of the tea tea, which will be made more difficult to embroidery. In addition, new pots should be used on a daily basis as soon as they are in use, so that the water can be paid for quickly, but keep them dry when used。
About five days after the start of use, there will be red stains in the interior, white water in the vicinity of 10 days, and after long use, it will all turn red in the interior, so long as the water doesn't get rusty, it doesn't matter, do not erase it, do not think it's rusty or wash it. When normally used, when boiled, try not to let the pot have water, boil it and pour hot water into hot water bottles, etc., and keep it dry. Before the iron canteen is completely cold, please do not put a lid on it and wipe the lid on it with a dry cloth. This is because, when boiled water is loaded into a hot water bottle or other container, the lid is placed on it as soon as the temperature drops, the steam in the pot will flow into the canteen with drops of water, and it will lead to embroidery。
Do not wipe it with dry cloth or brush, nor wash it with a cleaning agent。
For external maintenance of the kettle, take a cloth and wipe it with a little bit of tea while the iron kettle has some heat, which will produce unique light after a long period。
In addition, when the old iron kettle is first used, there may be iron embroidery or rusty objects in the interior, and the method used is to boil it more, so that when the boiled water does not become stale, it can be used。
It is also most important to note that japan’s iron kettle is more suitable for a coal fire, but taiwan should not be used to it now, so if you use a gas stove to burn, remember to fire a small fire in order to avoid damage to the kettle。
Also on the issue of rust, the web pages of many iron-pot manufacturers show that even if rust occurs inside the iron-pot, it is acceptable as long as the boiled water does not stale, probably because it was made for raw iron, so it is okay. But it's hard for some of my friends to accept me to make tea with rusty iron pots, and in the tea industry in japan, if there's too much rust in old tea cans or iron cans, you'll be asked to rearrange the interior。
