Kangxi's Private Visit in Incognito 1. Purple Sand Teapot.
The complete story of the purple clay teapot is as follows: During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an emperor named Emperor Kangxi. He liked to make purple clay teapots, so there were some stories about him going on private visits in disguise. One day, Emperor Kangxi decided to go on a private visit to understand the living conditions of the common people. He put on the clothes of an ordinary person and left the palace to begin his private visit. On the way, Emperor Kangxi saw many strange things such as some magical herbs, strange animals and mysterious caves. He also met some loyal officials and commoners who shared their lives with them. In the end, Emperor Kangxi came to a place called the Purple Cloud Cave. The spiritual energy here was very rich and very suitable for making purple clay pots. Emperor Kangxi decided to learn the skills of making purple clay teapots here and bring them back to the palace to make more purple clay teapots for the royal family. During this process, Emperor Kangxi also met a teapot master named Li Qinglian. He admired Emperor Kangxi's teapot talent and asked him for advice on making purple clay teapot. Emperor Kangxi was very grateful and made the first purple clay teapot for Li Qinglian. This teapot was not only of good quality but also of great artistic value. Finally, Emperor Kangxi returned to the palace and handed over the purple clay teapot to the officials and the people for them to use. This incident caused the production of purple clay pots to receive widespread attention and develop into a very important element in Chinese culture.
