The lines of the teapot body are smooth and vigorous, resembling the majestic helmet of a general, exuding a powerful and imposing air. The simple overturned - basin - shaped lid fits tightly with the sturdy and heavy teapot body, seamlessly integrated, and inadvertently revealing a sense of solemnity and dignity.

The wood - grain gold craftsmanship on the teapot body is truly remarkable. Wood - grain gold, known as "Kijin" in Japanese and "Mokume gane" or "Mokume" in English, as its name implies, uses magical techniques to outline beautiful patterns on the metal surface that resemble natural wood grains. The manufacturing process is an ultimate feast of craftsmanship. It requires various metal plates such as red copper, brass, copper, quarter - copper, and silver. First, these plates are cut and polished, making each piece of metal as delicate and smooth as a carefully carved jade. Subsequently, according to a unique design concept, these plates are stacked layer by layer, just like building a palace of art. Under high - temperature melting, different metals blend with each other while still retaining their respective characteristics. Then, through precise forging and pressing, the metal is given a flexible shape. After that, dozens of complex processes such as carving are carried out to perfectly present the unique wood - grain - like patterns. Each process embodies the efforts and wisdom of the craftsmen, and every strike conveys their dedication and love for the craftsmanship. Precisely because of this, the wood - grain gold has unique textures and infinite color variations, combining the natural beauty of texture and rich artistic beauty. Due to the differences in the welding points of various metals, the accuracy of material ratio is extremely demanding, making each wood - grain gold work a unique masterpiece, a soul - stirring collision between the designer's inspiration and the craftsman's skills.

The designs of the teapot knob and the loop handle are the finishing touches. The teapot knob is elaborately crafted using the gold - and - silver inlay technique. The interwoven gold and silver lines outline delicate patterns, shining brightly on the lid. The loop handle also uses the gold - and - silver inlay technique to create vivid bamboo patterns. The bamboo leaves are stretching, and the bamboo joints are upright. In Chinese culture, bamboo has always symbolized integrity, nobility, and perseverance, complementing the general - like demeanor of the teapot body. It implies that the user is as upright and awe - inspiring as a general, with lofty aspirations. The upper part of the teapot body slightly bulges, with smooth and soft lines, and then gradually converges to the bottom, making the teapot shape more upright and handsome. The overall shape is grand yet stable, solemn yet flexible, fully demonstrating the beauty of returning to simplicity. It abandons the cumbersome decorative lines and returns to the most authentic form of the utensil, vividly depicting the image of an upright and brave general, which makes people feel awe and admiration.
