Covered bowls, also known as "three-talented bowls" and "three-talented cups", as the name implies, are a kind of Han Dynasty tea set with a lid on the top, a tray on the bottom and a bowl in the middle. Cover for the sky, support for the ground, bowl for people, meaning harmony between heaven and earth. When drinking tea with a covered bowl, the cup cover, the cup body and the cup holder cannot be used separately, otherwise it is neither polite nor beautiful.
In the early days, the bowl was for personal use, and the brewing and drinking were combined into one. At this time, the bowl is like a cup. Nowadays, bowls with lids are more used as teapots, because it is easier to observe the color and grasp the concentration of soup when making tea with lids.
After soaking, you can directly appreciate the bottom of the leaves, and it is more convenient to clean the slag than the teapot. So the cover bowl evolved into a brewing vessel, which became another form of tea set combined with cups and cups.
