Master Huang Yanan is a renowned Zhuang ethnic "Ni Ren" (clay figure artist) in Guangxi and throughout China—a master artist in the Chinese arts and crafts industry, a representative inheritor of Nixing pottery at the provincial level, a Guangxi arts and crafts master, a senior arts and crafts technician, and a senior technician. High art is inseparable from the nourishment of virtue. As a "Ni Xia" (clay warrior), Yanan's unwavering dedication is admirable, and as a "teacher," Yanan imparts knowledge and skills, inspiring new talent. With a heart full of Zhuang spirit and passion, a chivalrous and Zen-like mind, he embodies the spirit of Nixing pottery! Recently, I had the honor of meeting him and his apprentice, and we enjoyed tea together and had a pleasant conversation.

During our tea session, Master Huang Yanan compared containers made from our company's Haiyan crystal sand with Nixing pottery containers. He gave very high praise, noting the smooth texture of the water, the rich and fragrant aroma of the tea, and the lingering sweetness in the throat. 。
During our discussion, I learned that Master Huang Yanan was fortunate enough to attend the advanced training class for arts and crafts masters at Tsinghua University. This was a transformative experience. The systematic and rigorous study and practice of ceramic technology, the new artistic vision, the new design concepts, and the new creative practices completely activated Yanan's comprehensive thinking about the innovation of Nixing pottery art and the exploration of Zhuang and Luoyue culture and art, greatly contributing to the formation of his highly individual artistic style. 。

I am very pleased that our company, Wangshuihetao, has forged a connection with Nixing pottery master Huang Yanan. I benefited greatly from this exchange. Master Huang Yanan cordially invited our company to participate in the 7th Millennium Nixing Pottery Gulong Kiln Opening Ceremony.

Finally, everyone took a commemorative photo in front of Yanan's pottery studio in Qinzhou Garden Expo Park.
