傲寒, its two characters,傲 as in 傲立, 傲视群雄, meaning proudly standing tall, proudly overlooking the rest.寒 is cold, and infers to the winter.Xue Lei wisely designed this Ornate class work, with the features crafted in likeness to the Plum Blossoms.  Because Plum Blossoms is the only flower that will bloom and also persevere through the winter, Xue Lei crafted this work in likeness of the Plum Blossoms, and named this work 傲寒, to inspire the user to have strength of good character that will enable one to traverse the toughest times.  A more literal meaning is to stand tall, majestically, and with perseverance, through difficult times. Through the practice of patience, kindness and letting go in our tea practice, this work reminds, inspires and motivates us artistically, to have one in a million's strength as well.  Presenting The "Ao Han" 《傲寒》~ 171.1ml, Lao Duan Ni 老段泥, by Top Ornate Class Artist & Prodigy L4 Assoc Master 张雪磊 Zhang Xue Lei! https://www.realzisha.com/collections/%E5%BC%A
