From ancient times to the present, silver pots have always been praised by scholars and writers.  In addition, tea addicts have long discovered the beauty of silver teapots for purifying water and sterilizing bacteria in addition to their aesthetic value, without harming the fragrance of tea.  Therefore, there is a saying that "the silver pot is the most valuable for boiling water, and the silver pot is the most important for making tea".  Zhao Ji stated in "Daguan Tea Theory" that the benefits of silver pots for drinking tea: "bottles should be gold and silver".  In "Tea Shu", Xu Cishu said, "Tea notes are good for those who are not angry with others, so the first silver and the second tin".  And Lu Yu also wrote in "The Classic of Tea": "Elegant is elegant, and clean is also clean. If you use it for a long time, you will die in silver."
