"Bafang"-The octagonal yixing teapot is a relatively rare type of square-shaped purple clay teapot. The lines and surfaces are straight, flat, and distinct, giving people a sense of cleanliness, sharpness, and elegance. The rules for creating a square-shaped teapot require "smooth lines, distinct contours, and a stable and solemn appearance," with straight and horizontal lines as the main elements, and curved and thin lines as the auxiliary elements. In addition to requiring symmetry between the mouth, lid, spout, handle, and body of the teapot, the square shape also requires "roundness within squareness, seeking change within the squareness, and uniformity between the mouth and lid, with a balance between rigidity and flexibility."
