Is it "imitation drum" or "antique"?
Regarding the theory of imitation drums and antiques, looking at the relevant historical materials, we can see that the earliest antique pot was first created by Shao Tycoon.
According to the Qing Shao tycoon, when this pot was made, it was called an imitation drum pot. Look at the shape of the pot, up and down, slightly drummed, shaped like a flat drum. According to Shao Jingnan, there were many similarities between the two eyebrows, which must be the original origin of the name of this pot.
When did the imitation drum become known as antique?
Gu Jingzhou once took the tycoon antique pot as a model, the heart chased the hand, the potential of special research, benefited a lot, may be the legacy of the ancestors, but also "ancient" through the "drum" sound, and then more called the antique pot, more with the idea of admiration.
In today's purple sand world, the peak of the recognition of antique pot production is Gu Jingzhou and Shao Tycoon, two giants, whose works are two monuments of antique pots.

110 antique pots
Among Gu Lao's many classics, the antique pot is undoubtedly a very representative instrument type; the antique pot also contains profound historical significance for Gu Lao.
In 1946, it was a special time, the eight years of arduous resistance had just ended, and the civil war followed. The war continued again, when the purple sand business was depressed, and the purple sand artists also reached the time of life and death.
At that time, the provincial capital of Jiangsu was still in Zhenjiang, and the National Farmers' Bank planned to hold the sixth provincial bank symposium here. To issue 100 tycoon antique pots as souvenirs, and to be high-end.
100 tycoon antique pots, is a big list, through Xu Zuchun, Zhou Zhilu recommended, this heavy responsibility fell on Gu Jingzhou's shoulders.
Zhou Zhilu demanded that the "one bottom" style of wang Baogen, a famous pot artist in the Republic of China, be taken as an example.
The demand was a total of 100, but in the end Gu Jingzhou made 110, handed over 100 to the bank, more than 10, 5 to Xu Zuchun, 5 to Zhou Zhilu.
Gu Jingzhou and Shen Xiaolu partnered again, Shen did Gu Jingzhou's hand, 110 pots, one month delivery, night and day, pieces of fine.
At that time, the two of them used the assembly line method, Shen Xiaolu hit the mud pieces, hit the mud strips, and did the hands, and Gu Jingzhou hit the bucket to make the cover to do the hand. After the teapot is made, the inside of the lid is covered with Gu Jingzhou's model, and the bottom of the falling section hits the idle seal.
On the pot of calligraphy, Xu Zuchun invited Wu to write isomorphic, this Gong is a descendant of Wu Yishan, a celebrity in Yixing in the Ming Dynasty. The engraver Zhuge Xun was a famous pottery engraver at that time.

The front of the pot is engraved with a book: there is a lanyan on the seat
Another side engraving: the sixth symposium of the national provincial bank commemorated, and the Jiangsu Provincial Farmers Bank and the Jiangsu Provincial Bank congratulated
The bottom of the pot is gu jingzhou's square seal and idle seal: foot my fun and old
"Lan Yan" is the speech of the heart, and the heart will have a common language. From the "Garden Yu Grass Color Rao Wensi, Sitting lan Yan Cha Su heart", it can be seen that Gu Lao's good wishes for the symposium.
Such a heavyweight combination, in the history of purple sand, is an unrepeatable orphan book, and gu lao has never made such a large number of teapots at one time. These 110 pots also laid the important position of antique in Gu Lao's purple sand career.
