俗佬(徐自先),澳门中华紫砂文化艺术研究会会长，大湾区紫砂艺术交流中心紫砂馆馆长，珠海自宜斋紫砂馆创办者，工艺美术、紫砂文化研究专家委员会专家。俗佬自幼受到文学艺术、哲学、传统文化滋养，九十年代初来珠海之后，开始了对紫砂壶的收藏和研究。自宜斋紫砂馆，吸引了全国二十多个省市'和台、港、澳地区与国外朋友前来参观、交流。其四次走向国际化的文博展览，用实物系统的介绍紫砂历史文化，属于首创。

在紫砂收藏方面，俗佬几十年来专注于明、清、民国至“紫砂七老"的名家壶，精品壶美不胜收；其中金沙寺僧壶，供春八景和曼生三十八式为世所罕见，三大紫砂泰斗的珍品，绝品令人称奇。

在文化研究方面，俗佬在探索上博览群书，反复求证。对明、清、民国各历史时期的紫砂名人名壶，按其文化价值对其历史定位，作了系统的梳理排列。俗佬对紫砂历史進行文化解读的同时，提出了自己收藏的所思所得的新见解、新建议，并编写了多篇关于紫砂研究成果的文章。

自宜斋对紫砂的展示，独树一帜。比如——按历史时期、家族传承、师徒关系、堂号组合等分门别类，使人一览可知紫砂历史全貌。俗佬注重民间收藏和文化研究，并已取得重大成果。近几年，作为澳门中华紫砂历史文化博物院院长和研究会会长，俗佬的紫砂收藏，已多次为新华社，央视中央媒体所关注并宣传，誉为中国当代收藏名家；在“盛世中华，复兴有您”的活动中，发行了素有“国家名片”之美誉的纪念珍藏邮折，自宜斋文化中心作为中央政府供货商入庫企业而被选中；俗佬本人也被工信部的工艺美术、紫砂文化研究专家委会聘请为专家。工信部工业文化发展中心将在自宜斋紫砂收藏的基础上，建立大湾区紫砂交流中心，并将迅速开展工作。个人梦想创办一个独具特色的能够全面体现紫砂历史文化的博物馆。

Su Lao (Xu Zixian), president of the Macao Chinese Purple Clay Art and Culture Research Association, director of the Purple Clay Museum of the Greater Bay Area Purple Clay Art Exchange Center, founder of the Zhuhai Ziyizhai Purple Clay Museum, and an expert of the Expert Committee on Arts and Crafts and Purple Clay Culture Research. Since childhood, Su Lao has been nourished by literature, art, philosophy and traditional culture. After coming to Zhuhai in the early 1990s, he began to collect and study purple clay teapots. The Ziyi Zhai Zisha Museum has attracted friends from over twenty provinces and cities across the country, as well as from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and foreign countries to visit and exchange. Its fourth international cultural and museum exhibition, which systematically introduces the history and culture of purple clay through physical objects, is a first.

For decades, Su Lao has been dedicated to the collection of purple clay teapots from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods to the "Seven Masters of Purple Clay". His exquisite teapots are simply breathtaking. Among them, the monk's teapot of Jinsha Temple, the Eight Scenes of Spring Offering and the Thirty-Eight Styles of Man Sheng are extremely rare in the world. They are the treasures of the three masters of purple clay, and their masterpieces are truly astonishing.

In the field of cultural studies, the common people read extensively and repeatedly sought verification in their exploration. A systematic sorting and arrangement of the historical positioning of famous purple clay teapots from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods based on their cultural values has been made. While the vulgar man was providing cultural interpretations of the history of purple clay, he put forward new insights and suggestions based on his own collection of thoughts and gains, and wrote many articles on the research results of purple clay.

The display of purple clay at Ziyi Studio is unique. For instance, by classifying them according to historical periods, family lineages, master-apprentice relationships, and combinations of ancestral hall names, etc., one can have a comprehensive understanding of the entire history of purple clay at a glance. Su Lao attaches great importance to folk collection and cultural research and has achieved significant results. In recent years, as the director of the Macao Museum of Chinese Purple Clay History and Culture and the president of the Research Association, Su Lao's collection of purple clay has been frequently featured and publicized by Xinhua News Agency and CCTV central media, earning him the title of a contemporary Chinese collector. In the event "Prosperous China, Revival with You", a commemorative and collectible stamp album, which is known as the "National business card", was issued. Ziyizhai Cultural Center was selected as a supplier to the central government. Su Lao himself has also been hired as an expert by the Expert Committee on Arts and Crafts and Purple Clay Culture Research of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Industrial Culture Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will establish a purple clay exchange center in the Greater Bay Area based on the purple clay collection of Ziyi Studio and will promptly commence its work. My personal dream is to establish a unique museum that can comprehensively reflect the history and culture of purple clay.
