紫砂矿料经开采、选料、风化、粉碎、筛分、提纯等加工步骤后，和水拌匀，掇成泥块，保持一定的温度和湿度，置于不透光的封闭环境中储存。 After the Zisha stone is unearthed it is put into the air for several months, and it will become brittle and turn into pebbles as big as beans. Afterwards the material is milled, and refined by different sized sieves. This power material is then poured into containers with some water and kneaded into bricks of Zisha clay. This is what is called raw clay. Finally, the raw clay is beaten with wooden mallets as many as ten times at which point it can be directly used to make Zisha ware. This clay is known as matured clay and will be preserved in a closed environment under a certain temperature and humidity.
