"It's fun to nourish tea pets. Some tea pets adopt a hollow structure, and after pouring tea, they will spit bubbles and spray water to add interest to tea leisure. " Popular tea pets in the market are mainly made of purple sand, resin or clay. Among them, the price of purple sand is relatively high, but these purple sand tea pets are mostly created by arts and crafts artists and ordinary artists, and the price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan.
Generally speaking, the price of large and auspicious items is likely to exceed 1,000 yuan. At present, the most common water-spraying tea pets on the market are mostly boys. As long as you pour hot tea on them, they will "pee" playfully. It is understood that this kind of tea pet with water spraying function generally adopts hollow structure. Usually, tea pets are soaked in water, and the water will slowly flow into the "belly" of tea pets and come into contact with hot tea. When the air in the "belly" expands with heat and contracts with cold, water will be ejected from the entrance. When buying a tea pet, you should choose a suitable tea pet from many aspects, such as whether the workmanship is fine, whether the mud is good, and so on. Tea pets with delicate fetal quality, exquisite shape, bright luster and vivid painting are of relatively high value. The tea pet I just bought is a very new purple sand color, either red or purple or white, with a slightly sandy surface. It only needs to be lightly brushed with a pen dipped in tea every day, or watered with tea. Therefore, when choosing a suitable tea pet, we should consider tea material's absorbability and interesting modeling. Choose the right shape according to your own preferences. Choose a tea pet that suits you while giving consideration to beauty and interest.

A mythical wild animal
Due to the special traditional culture in China, several kinds of tea pets are the most common. One is the legendary ninth son of the dragon, commonly known as "only getting in but not getting out", so people think it has the function of seeking money and making money. At the same time, it also has the function of town house and becomes the patron saint of the family, so it has become people's favorite. According to legend, raccoon is a fierce beast, the male is "raccoon" and the female is "raccoon", but today, people have no gender. In ancient times, it was divided into one corner or two corners. One horn is called "Tianlu" and the other two horns are called "evil spirits". Later, it was mainly shaped in a corner. In the south, most people like to call it "magic", while in the north, it is called "exorcism". The popular shape of this animal is a horn on its head, a long mane rolled all over its body, and some tails with wings and tendrils.
toad
Another popular tea pet is the golden toad. This toad is no ordinary toad. It has three feet. Legend has it that it was originally a demon, but later it was surrendered by the immortal Liu Hai, turned over a new leaf, helped the poor everywhere and spat money at people, so it was later regarded as a beast of fortune. Wherever the golden toad goes, the place where money gathers. Golden toad is the homonym of money. "Wang Caijin toad" carries a "money string" on him, which means that money enters the house one by one. The copper coins in Jin Chan's mouth can be transferred. The homonym of hand-to-hand money transfer is "making money". Three-legged golden toad urges money and divides Qian Qian. You can't face the door with a coin in your mouth, or you will send the money from home. Empty talk without money is to attract money, and the mouth is open to the outside world. If you go to the store, you will usually see the golden toad with money in his mouth, which should be pointing at his ass. And if there is an empty mouth facing the golden toad, it is sucking money, so hurry away. In addition, under normal circumstances, only one golden toad can be placed at home.
Be content with your own destiny
There is also a round and lovely purple sand foot with a spider on it. It is the homonym of "seeking" and "foot", which means contentment.
elephant
Elephants are also favorite tea pets of tea people. Elephants are famous for being good at absorbing water. In China, water is wealth. If the elephant is invited to live at home, all the wealth is yours. Moreover, elephants are gentle and peaceful in nature, which symbolizes good luck at home. People who believe in Feng Shui will put it in the most prosperous place indoors, and then the whole family will benefit.
Young boys and girls
Generally, they are carved on gold ingots, and some are made together. Its significance is self-evident, needless to say.
Golden pig
Pigs have always been a symbol of abundance and good luck. So putting it in a tea tray is very cute and attractive. Generally, you can pay a bill, and there are also a pair. Therefore, it is divided into yin engraving and yang engraving, that is, some show their feet and tails, and some all reflect their emotions in sand and stone fencing. More importantly, 2007 is the Year of the Pig, and we all like to celebrate this moment in China, so it would be great if Golden Pig provided a gift.
Buddhist patriarch
There are various colors of sand, mostly Maitreya, with more lying and sitting postures and less standing postures. There are grotesque ones, such as Kirin, buffalo and tortoise. Anyway, there are few thin animals such as cranes, not because they are not good, but because they can't meet the requirements of water storage. There are many animals that have not been mentioned, such as lions and rhinos. Anyway, most of them mean good luck and longevity, so I won't go into details here.
