清代中期后流行吸水烟，随着水烟壶在民间逐渐成为一种日常用具之后，在壶身上刻字作画就流行开来。在文人审美情趣影响下，工匠在水烟壶面上雕刻诗词、山水、花鸟、人物等题材，使水烟壶成为展现传统文化的重要符号。而白铜水烟壶就是一个代表，其雕刻艺术带着浓郁的文化气息，展现了中国传统文人生活的雅致。一壶在手，辗转把玩之际，可观大千世界一草一木、一人一物，方寸壶面如一面镜子折射出中国传统艺术精神。
After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, hookah smoke became popular. After the hookah pot became a daily appliance in the people, it became popular to engraving words and paintings on the pot body. Under the influence of the literati aesthetic taste, the craftsmen carved poems, landscapes, flowers and birds, figures and other themes on the surface of the hookah pot, making the hookah pot become an important symbol to show the traditional culture. The white copper hookah bottle is a representative, its carving art with a strong cultural flavor, showing the elegant life of traditional Chinese literati. A pot in hand, while turning and playing, you can see the vast world of every tree and grass, one person and one thing. The square inch face of the pot is like a mirror reflecting the spirit of traditional Chinese art.
水烟壶盛行于清代，不仅仅局限于民间，朝廷的王公大臣也被这“小小方池”所吸引。金、银、玉等材质虽然能区分水烟壶的等级，但是未免直接浮夸，因此造型独特、格调高雅、工艺精美的水烟壶被认为更能体现一个人的身份、品味和学识，成为工匠们奋斗的目标。
The water bottle was popular in the Qing Dynasty, not only among the people, but also among the princes and ministers of the imperial court. Gold, silver, jade and other materials can distinguish the grade of the hookah, but rather direct grandiousness, so the unique shape, elegant style, exquisite craft is considered to better reflect a person's identity, taste and knowledge, become the goal of the craftsmen.
