Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived an old woman named Amei, who loved making pottery from the unique clay of her hometown when she was young. Her pottery was not only uniquely shaped, but also durable and long-lasting, and the villagers loved her pottery. Many young potters tried to imitate her techniques, but they could never achieve the same effect. Amei's pottery techniques were passed down from generation to generation and remain popular today, becoming a major feature of the area. Even now, many people in the village continue to use her techniques to make pottery, preserving this ancient craft. Amei's pottery is not merely simple daily necessities, but also a precious legacy that carries the local culture and history. Her story has also become an enduring tale of this small mountain village.
