The end of the Tang Dynasty,the Song Dynasty and Liao Jin period are the popular periods of tea culture,when tea was favored by emperors,nobles and commoners and the tea-fighting culture was widely spread.The tea ewers,as a kind of liquid utensils,can be classified into two types,the teapots and wine pots.The pots in the Tang and Song dynasties had different names according to their different usage.The container used for drinking was called zhuzi or jiuzhu(wine bottle),and the pots for tea were called tea bottles,chazhu,soup pots or ying.However,the tea bottles,as the pots for tea making,were often mixed up with jiuzhu.It is the first step to distinguish them in studying tea bottles.There are a large number of murals with tea themes in the tombs of the Tang,Song Dynasties and Liao and Jin Periods.Tea sets from the Song and Jin dynasties have been unearthed many times in recent archaeological excavations.These pots could be considered as the standard teapots.Based on them,this paper attempts to summarize the stylistic characteristics of tea bottles.
