China is the hometown of tea. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, there was a custom of drinking tea among the people. Up to the Song Dynasty, the custom of drinking tea prevailed, from the court down to the common people. Wang Anshi said in the “Law on Tea” that “tea is for civil use, equal to raw salt, and cannot be used without it for a day.” At that time, tea fighting was very popular. Tea in the Song Dynasty is usually made into semi-fermented cream cake. Before drinking, the cream cake is ground into fine powder and placed in the tea cup, and then boiled with boiling water. A layer of white foam will boil on the water surface. Tea fighters should first fight for their tea color, and win with green and white. Next, the water mark of the tea cup should be measured. The tea soup should be stained with a circle of tea marks around the tea cup, and the one who retreats first should be negative. Black-glazed tea cups set off white tea foam are most suitable for tea fighting, and are therefore loved by tea lovers. A large number of black-glazed tea cups were fired in the southern and northern porcelain kilns, especially in the northern part of Fujian. The black-glazed tea cups of Fujian Jianyao were once used by the imperial court
