At the beginning of 2002, Ji Hansheng, the former chairman of Jiangsu Weiju Energy Saving Lamp Group Company, felt that Taiwan independence in Taiwan Province Province was rampant and decided to use Yixing purple sand, which was deeply loved by compatriots on both sides of the strait, to create a special work that reflected the history of the Chinese nation and broke through the traditional art of Yixing pot making. I happened to see an advertisement for Yuanyang hot pot, which led to the idea of developing Yuanyang teapot. He first experimented with plastic products, and then learned the technology from a famous pot-making teacher. In a purple sand craft workshop in Dingshan, Yixing, he developed it with a famous pot maker. The idea invented by MengMeng is very simple, just between the electro-optic Shi Huo, but it is extremely difficult to realize. After 8 years, I stayed in front of the kiln 14 months, giving up the family happiness of many ordinary people, and finally successfully made the first "Yuanyang teapot".
Ji Hansheng's unremitting efforts won him a pioneering work in the history of making teapot. Among the 586 kinds of famous purple sand products since the Ming Dynasty, there is no record of this kind of "Yuanyang teapot" in Appreciation of Purple Sand Pots in China. He Daohong, a master of arts and crafts and pot-making in China, called this pot "a stunt in a pot". But Ji Hansheng always felt that this teapot lacked a little charm. In 2006, it happened that Zhang Manxin, the founding chairman of the Overseas Chinese Conference for the Peaceful Reunification of China and the president of the European Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China, visited Nantong and suggested that Ji Hansheng make the "Yuanyang Teapot" a token of peace. Encouraged, Ji Hansheng specially designed the faucet on the lid of the pot with some famous pot makers. Ji Hansheng said: "The angle of the dragon is very particular, whether it is high or low. It took me two years to design this faucet. "
Since then, "Yuanyang Teapot" has been upgraded to "Zhonghua Dragon Pot". This pot is round, which means perfection. The lid of the pot is shaped like a dragon playing with beads, and the word "harmony" is engraved on the beads, which means peace and harmony in loong; ; The inside of the pot body adopts a patented structure that can brew two kinds of tea at the same time, symbolizing "one country, two systems". The whole teapot conveys the concepts of "world peace, motherland reunification", "one country, two systems and social harmony". Mr. Zhang Manxin, director of the Organizing Committee of the Global Overseas Chinese Activities for Promoting the Peaceful Reunification of China, rushed to Nantong at the first time to discuss and cooperate with Ji Hansheng to create a "keepsake for promoting peaceful reunification", and sent an official letter to the Taiwan Affairs Office of Nantong City, deciding to designate the "Chinese Dragon Pot" as a special gift for national leaders.
On July 20 10, David Ding, then deputy secretary of Nantong Municipal Committee and mayor, paid a visit to Lien Chan, honorary chairman of the Kuomintang, and presented them with a "loong pot" in Taiwan Province. Lien Chan returned Alishan Tea and said: "The rapid breakthrough and development of cross-strait relations have been welcomed by people on both sides of the strait. 2011165438+1On October 29th, Zhang Guohua, deputy secretary of Nantong Municipal Committee and mayor, led a Nantong economic and trade delegation to carry out intensive economic and trade activities with Taiwan, which promoted the development of economic and trade cooperation between the two places to a higher level and in a wider field, and presented the modern art treasure "Chinese Dragon Pot" to Jiang Bingkun and Wang Jinping, vice chairmen of Kuomintang.

On June 20 13, a delegation of overseas Chinese leaders from Chinese mainland completed a "Chinese cultural tour across the Taiwan Strait" in Taiwan Province Province, and presented the "Chinese Dragon Pot" as a peace token to Jane Hansheng, chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese in Taiwan Province Province. The two sides signed a proposal of "Overseas Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to safeguard Chinese culture and values and strengthen cooperation and exchanges", calling on overseas Chinese around the world to promote cross-strait peaceful relations.
