What modern people call "tea sets" mainly refers to tea drinking utensils such as teapots, teacups, and tea spoons. The types of tea sets listed in "Ten Odes of Tea Sets" by Pi Rixiu, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, include "tea dock, tea man, tea bamboo shoots, tea set, tea house, tea stove, tea baking, tea tripod, tea pot, tea pot ." "Chawu" refers to the depression where tea is grown. "Tea man", according to modern opinion, should not be included in the utensils.

The tea pot is one of the most typical tea sets of the Tang Dynasty. It is also called a cup or a bowl. By the Song Dynasty, it had developed into an iconic daily tea set for drinking and fighting tea. Tea pots are divided into two categories. One type is represented by a bowl with a jade wall bottom; the other type is a common tea bowl with a flower mouth, usually in the shape of a five-petal flower, which generally appeared in the late Tang Dynasty.

It is also called a tureen, and the tureen is also called the "Sancai Cup", implying the meaning of harmony between heaven and earth. According to legend, it was invented in Chengdu by the daughter of Cui Ning, the military governor of Xichuan, during the Jianzhong period of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (780-783). Because the original teacup had no backing and often burned his fingers, Cui Ning's son ingeniously invented a wooden plate to hold the teacup.

A teacup is a utensil for holding tea. The water comes from the teapot and is poured into the teacup, and then the tea is tasted by the guests. Tea cups are divided into two sizes: the small cup is mainly used for sipping oolong tea, also called the tea cup, and is used in conjunction with the aroma cup; the large cup can also be used directly as a tea making and serving tea utensil, and is mainly used for high-end and delicate tea cups. Tea tasting.

In order to prevent the cup from tipping over when drinking tea, she also tried to use wax to ring the center of the wooden plate to make the cup easier to fix. This is the earliest tea boat. Later, tea ships used lacquer rings instead of wax rings, which was convenient for everyone. In later generations, the ring base was made more and more novel, with various shapes, like a ring-bottomed cup.

A unique tea boat culture, also called Gaiwan tea culture, was born in the Chengdu area. This unique way of drinking tea gradually spread from Dianbashu to surrounding areas, and later spread throughout the south.

Sichuan people also have special considerations when using tea lids: when tasting tea, the tea lid is placed on the table to indicate that the tea cup is empty, and the tea doctor will come over quickly to refill the water; if the tea guest leaves temporarily When going, place the tea lid buckle on the bamboo chair, which means that the person has not gone far and will return soon. Naturally, no one will occupy the seat, and the waiter will also take care of the tea sets and snacks.
