Chapter 109 father of tea art

"The so-called spirit of tea is the spirit of sacrifice and dedication throughout life. You see, the tea leaves are plucked for you when they are very tender. After plucked, they are placed in the sun to dry, kneaded by you, and then fried and dried with fire. , to make tea, but also to use boiling water to brew, and the remaining tea dregs are used to make pillows and fertilizers, and life is dedication, which is the spirit of tea people.” Mr. Lin Zhihong said in the interview.It has been about a year since Mr. Lin passed away. Cai Chuanxing sent Fan Zengping's "Interview Record of Chinese Tea People" published by Taiwan Wanjuanlou. After reading it, I admired Mr. Lin even more.There are 460,000 people in Macau; celebrities account for about 450,000; the remaining 10,000 are top celebrities.Mr. Lin's name is a high name and a real name. After he left, there are fewer mourning articles than the honorary village head of a certain village in Jiangmen. At first, it was very puzzling and puzzled. : He speaks too much of the truth and too little of the good.

Mr. Lin didn't leave desertedly, he walked peacefully; in a person's life, a few bosom friends are enough, no more, it would be in vain to fatten the wreath seller. "To develop tea, we must first promote tea culture to schools, so that elementary and middle school students can receive this education and cultivate moral education through tea." Mr. Lin used tea to preach, which is called "tea ceremony"; Principal, it is a pity that we really want to implement "tea education", but we encounter too many obstacles. Two years ago, I lived in Taipa, and in the afternoon, I would occasionally go to a nearby tea stall to eat a plate of cold noodles, because there were not many people and it was deserted enough.Unexpectedly, when Mr. Lin was the owner of the tea stall, he was an onion, peeled layer by layer. "The most important thing about making tea is 'truth' and 'naturalness'. You should not only pay attention to the form. You should let a person feel that tea art is easy, and don't let a person feel that drinking a cup of tea is so difficult." Difficult, just It cannot be popularized; Mr. Lin said. "Tea Onion" held "Tea Art Classes for the Elderly", which frightened the senior citizens to dare not even drink tea, let alone "art" and "culture".

Vulgarity, I think, should be divided into three categories: first, popular; second, vulgar; third, vulgar.Like me, I am not elegant enough to be homely, and not to be vulgar in the end, so it is considered common.That Dai Jinlao hugged the Russian girl, drank red wine in a Qianlong blue and white bowl, and said with his nostrils upturned: "Isn't this cultural heritage protected by the uncle?" That's vulgar.Stinky vulgarity originates from "elegance". When a thousand people see it, they will admire it, and 10,000 people will admire it when they see it; "Ya", but it is used to gain fame, profit, and deceive the world, just like when we look at Tianhuang and see "lice eggs" in the yellow skin, we are shocked: "It's another fake!" This is bad vulgarity.In the eyes of Mr. Lin Zhihong, the vulgarity of "tea onion" is really bottomless and stinks.

Tea is for drinking; selling tea is a legitimate business after all, and it should be for profit; "What about the brewing method of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty? Your brewing method may not be true in essence. You emphasize how much water should be boiled, and use tea powder or tea leaves. People can read these things from books or CDs... ..." Mr. Lin was angry, and continued to use "tea onion" as a bad example. "Preparation method" is just "technique", which is "tea technique"; technique is about posture, not connotation; unfortunately, everyone likes to look at posture, and after reading it, they go around telling each other; "technician" regards himself as "master", which is false ;You regard a "technician" as a "master", which is lonely.

Four or nine years later, Mr. Lin Zhihong began to collect purple clay teapots, with a collection of more than a thousand.I respect Mr. Lin because I respect his "truth" and his "nature"; his truth and nature are like a mirror, and in the mirror, there are all small-eyed monsters, and even an elegant drink like tea is indifferent. Floating monsters! In 1994, Lu Lianruo Park held the "Zishahu Art Exhibition". It was the first time in Macao that the people of Macao held a Zishahu collection exhibition. "Products" as the name of the exhibition. Mr. Lin is well-deserved as the "father of tea art in Macau", but he himself does not take credit for it.The land is small and the people are small, so it is inevitable to "make it big". It is clearly "Taipa", which can be called "China"; tea sellers can be called "Chinese Tea Ceremony". "Have fun.I miss Mr. Lin, because in Macau, it is not easy to meet such a normal person.

In 2003, Cai Chuanxing took me to meet Mr. Lin and made an appointment to drink tea at his "Juzixuan".At the age of eighty-two, he was healthy and healthy, with a noble bearing. Unexpectedly, he died suddenly in 2004.That day, Mr. Lin brewed for us single tea; from then on, I like to drink this kind of tea the most, and every time I drink it, I think of Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin believes that there should be a "tea art museum". "No matter what the scale is in the future, it is always better than nothing." My own interests are the starting point." (I changed my real name to "tea onion" to allow room for it.) Mr. Lin left, and the tea art museum in Lujiu Park was built, and it is probably still exhibiting his "gathering" Zixuan" teapot.I passed by every day, but never went in; I didn't go to Mr. Lin's funeral, and I didn't even send a wreath; I just thought of him often, and thought that a person should be like Mr. Lin, with some bones.
