The followings are some of Hwang Jeng-daw’s feelings collected throughout his teapot-making career :
-
Teapots show us different ways and we also give teapots different appearances.
-
Drinking tea is not only a way of life, but also a belief in the life of art.
-
If you cannot make a good teapot, reflect upon the Confucian teachings. If you make a great teapot, reflect upon the Buddhist teachings. If this doesn’t work, reflect upon the Taoist teachings.
