The appearance of teapots designed by Chen Hongshou is a landmark in the history of purple clay teapots.Dur-ing the period of Emperor Jiaqing's reign and Daoguang's reign,the literati,represented by Chen Hongshou,drew on the tradi-tion of Shi Dabin's teapots making in the late Ming Dynasty,applying the art of calligraphy and painting,which the literati spe-cialized in,to the teapots,giving them cultural significance beyond their practical function,and realizing a complement between the form and the inscriptions on the teapots.This is the reason why the teapots designed by Chen Hongshou were so highly ap-preciated by the literati.Literati writing on the teapots designed by Chen Hongshou has also focused on Chen Hongshou's contri-bution to creating the form and engraving the inscription.Because of the difference in status between Chen Hongshou and Yang Pengnian,and the notion that painting and calligraphy were higher in status than the craft,Chen Hongshou's contribution was emphasized,and he gained the right to naming the teapot.
