The precious wealth they created and the exquisite handicrafts that have survived are the proof of their craftsmanship and quality. So - purple sand is a trait, a craft, a quality, and a morality! Shihuang and Shihong, due to their high iron content, are iron red after sintering and are mostly used as colorants. In the old days, because the kiln temperature was difficult to control, Shihuang was mostly black after high-temperature sintering, so when it was mined, it was regarded as waste and discarded. According to the predecessors, at that time, Mr. Gu Jingzhou and Mr. Wang Yinchun had different views on "Shihuang". Mr. Wang Yinchun thought that Shihuang was red mud, while Mr. Gu Jingzhou refuted him that it was not red mud because it was purple-black after sintering. In fact, "Shihuang" with a yellowish-brown core is red after sintering, and "Shihong" with a dark red color is black after sintering. The purple clay is "like the brilliance of astronomy", and both gentlemen are right, it's just a joke played by nature on them. The shihuang mud has a high iron content and can improve the taste
