4. From a physical perspective, the sudden cracking of a purple clay teapot refers to the contraction of the teapot during sudden cooling and heating, which is most likely caused by uneven heating and cooling. Therefore, before using a purple clay teapot, warm water should be poured onto the outside of the teapot, and then warm water should be injected into the teapot. Then, the teapot should be shaken to evenly heat the entire body of the teapot before it can be officially used, This way, the teapot will not suddenly crack after a period of use.
