Chapter 15 3. Anecdotes about tea

The anecdotes about the tea event mentioned here mainly fall into two categories, one is the anecdote related to the tea event, and the other is the ancient tea event stories quoted in poems and words with origins. (1) Sun Hao gave tea instead of wine Sun Hao (242-283) was the fourth king of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was later destroyed by Jin.He was domineering, brutal, extravagant and dissolute, and he was fond of drinking.Every time a banquet is held, the guests drink at least seven liters of wine, "although it is not enough to drink, it is all poured out."Wei Yao, a courtier, was knowledgeable and highly valued by Sun Hao.Wei Yao's drinking capacity is very small, no more than two liters.Sun Hao treated him with special courtesy, "secretly giving him tea instead of wine", that is, secretly giving him tea instead of wine.

This matter can be seen in "Wu Zhi · Wei Yao Biography", which is the earliest record about "replacing wine with tea" in historical records. (Ruan Haogeng) (2) Lu Na treats guests with tea and fruit Lu Na, a native of Jin, was once the prefect of Wuxing, and moved to Shang Shuling.People at that time praised him as "diligent, loyal and persistent, never change", and he was a figure known for his frugality.Jin's "Zhongxing Shu" contains such a thing: General Wei Xie An is going to visit Lu Na.Lu Na's nephew, Lu Chu, saw that his uncle hadn't prepared, but he didn't dare to ask him, so he prepared dishes for a dozen people in private.When Xie An came, Lu Na only entertained the guests with tea and fruit.Lu Chu put out a pre-prepared sumptuous banquet, which was full of delicacies from mountains and seas.After the guests left, Lu Na beat Lu Chu with forty sticks and taught him a lesson: "If you can't benefit uncle, how can you defile my career."

(Ruan Haogeng) (3) Drinking tea and Su in one way Lu Yu's "The Book of Tea Seven Things" quoted "Art Biography": "Dunhuang people are single-minded, not afraid of cold and heat, and often take small stones. The medicine they take has the scent of pine, osmanthus, and honey, and the tea they drink is nothing more than Su." Shan Daokai, surnamed Meng, was born in the Jin Dynasty.He lives in seclusion, and later practiced bigu (a so-called way to cultivate Taoism and become immortal. It is said that after learning, you can not eat all grains).Seven years later, he gradually achieved the ability to warm himself in winter and cool himself in summer, without lying down day and night, and traveled more than 700 miles a day.

Later, he moved to Zhaode Temple, Linzhang County, Henan Province, where he set up a meditation room to sit in meditation and drink tea to drive away sleep. The "tea su" he drank was a beverage prepared with tea and perilla.Later, he entered Luofu Mountain in Guangdong and died at the age of more than a hundred. (Ruan Haogeng) (4) Wang Mengxi Shui'er Ming Dynasty Wang Yudeng wrote "Three Poems Inscribed on the Picture of Tang Bohu Cooking Tea as Yu Zhengzhi's Prefect", which says three times: Fulong is ten li full of fragrant wind, just near the east of my villa.

One day when Qianyan can meet and visit, Hugh will laugh at Wang Meng at Shui'er. Wang Meng was a native of the Jin Dynasty, and he was an official to Situ Changshi.According to the "Taiping Yulan" quote: "Wang Meng likes to drink tea, and people drink it at will, and all the scholars and bureaucrats suffer from it. Every time he wants to wait, he must say: 'There is water disaster today.'" During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, tea drinking gradually became popular. At the beginning, most of the scholar-bureaucrats were not used to drinking tea, so they regarded drinking tea as "water disaster".Since then, people also jokingly called tea drinking as "Shui'er".

(Ruan Haogeng) (5) Wang Su is good at drinking tea "Luoyang Jialanji" Volume 3 "Baode Temple in the South of the City" contains: (Wang) When Su entered the country at the beginning, he did not eat mutton and buttermilk. He often ate crucian carp soup and drank tea juice when he was thirsty.Scholars in the capital saw that Su had a drink and a bucket, and the name was Louyu.After several years, Su and Gaozu met in the hall and ate a lot of mutton and cheese porridge.Gaozu blamed it, called Su and said: "Your Chinese taste is also, how is mutton like fish soup, how is tea drinking like buttermilk?"

Su said to each other: "The sheep are the most produced on land, and the fish are the elders of the aquatic people. Their preferences are different. 213 Chinese Tea Classics are all called treasures. In terms of taste, there are advantages and disadvantages. Sheep are better than Qilu Dabang, fish It is a small country than Zhuju, but tea is not good enough to be a slave to cheese. Wang Su, courtesy name Gongyi, was born in Langye (now Linyi, Shandong).He once served as Secretary Cheng in the Southern Qi Dynasty.In Taihe, because his father Wang Huan was killed by Qi, he went to Wei (Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, now Datong, Shanxi) from Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).Emperor Xiaowen of Wei treated him with modesty, and then appointed the general Shi.Later Wang Su defeated Qi general Pei Shuye and made great achievements in battle, and became the general of Zhennan.During the time of Emperor Xuanwu of the Wei Dynasty, the official residence was Zaifu, and he was repeatedly granted the title of Marquis of Changguo County, and finally the official governor of Yangzhou.During the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, Wang Su liked to drink tea and eat water shield soup. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, his habit remained the same, but he also liked to eat mutton and buttermilk.People may ask: "Why is tea like cheese?" Wang Su replied: "Tea is unbearable to be a slave to cheese." Therefore, tea is also known as "dairy slave".In Wei's work, Liu Jin admired Wang Su's style of drinking tea, and specialized in imitating tea drinking.Wang Xie of Pengcheng didn't take it seriously at the time, and ridiculed Liu Jin: "You don't admire the Bazhen of the prince, so you are so miserable."

(Ruan Haogeng) (6) Li Deyu is addicted to Huishan spring Tang Geng's "Dou Cha Ji" said: "Li Weigong, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, liked to drink Huishan spring, and he sent it in a post, not far away for thousands of miles." It is a pity that I do not drink the water of the capital for cooking tea, but use Huishan spring and pass it on by post road, which is called "water delivery" at that time. Yu Chixie's "Stories of China and North Korea" also recorded a story about Li Deyu's Biequan: Li Deyu lives in the temple corridor, and has relatives and acquaintances who are envoys to Jingkou (note: today's Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).

Li said: "Return to the sun, take a pot of rushing water from the Yangtze River at the foot of Jinshan Mountain." The man forgot about it, and went to the stone city on a boat.After drinking, Li was very surprised and said: "The taste of the water in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of Qingsui. It is quite like the water in Jianye Stone City." The man thanked him and dared not hide it. Li Deyu's Biequan is really amazing.However, Yu Chixi was a native of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties. "Stories of the Central Dynasty" recorded the old stories of the Xuan, Yi, Zhao, and Ai dynasties of the Tang Dynasty.

(Ruan Haogeng) (7) Lu Yu Jianshui (See "Celebrities and Tea Lu Yu") (8) Lutong seven bowls of tea (See "Celebrities and Tea·Lu Tong") (9) Pi Guangye regards tea as a "bitter taster" Pi Guangye, well-versed in writing, was the son of Pi Rixiu, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. He was able to write poems at the age of ten.Pi Guangye's beauty instrument is good at talking, and those who see it think they are gods and gods.Wu Yue paid homage to the prime minister in the second year of Tianfu (937 A.D.). Because of his love of tea, he regarded tea as a "taster of bitter taste", and his addiction was widely spread in the court.

One day, Pi Guangye's middle cousin invited him to taste new mandarin oranges and hosted a banquet for him.On that day, there were many dignitaries in the imperial court, and the banquet was very rich.But after Pi Guangye attended the table, he didn't pay attention to the wine in Zungu's cup, but was in a hurry to drink tea.So I had to drink a big cup of tea.Pi Guangye chanted impromptuly: "If you haven't seen Mrs. Gan Xin, first welcome Master Kukou." During the banquet, everyone laughed and said: "This teacher is pure and noble, but it is difficult to cure hunger." Tea is known as "Master Kukou". here. (Ruan Haogeng) (10) Wang Anshi tested the water Wang Anshi was suffering from phlegm-fire syndrome in his old age. Although he took medicine, it was difficult to get rid of the root cause.The imperial hospital ordered Yangxian tea to be drunk and boiled with water from the Qutang Middle Gorge of the Yangtze River.Because Su Dongpo was a native of Shu, Wang Anshi once entrusted him: "If it is convenient for the relatives to come and go, if you send an urn of water from the Qutang Middle Gorge to the old man, then the old man's old age will be delayed by his son." Soon, Su Dongpo personally brought water to see Wang Anshi.Wang Anshi immediately ordered someone to carry the water urn into the study, wiped it with his sleeve, and opened the paper seal.He also ordered Tong'er to simmer in the tea stove and cook it with silver pickled water.First take a Baiding bowl, and put a pinch of Yangxian tea in it. Waiting for the soup to look like crab eyes, pick it up and pour it in.It takes a while to see its brown color.Wang Anshi asked, "Where does this water come from?" Dongpo replied, "Wu Gorge." Wang Anshi said, "It's the Middle Gorge." Dongpo replied, "Exactly." Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Here again to bully the old man. That's it! This is the water of the Xiaxia Gorge, how can it be called Zhongxia?" Dongpo was shocked, so he had to tell the truth.It turned out that Dongpo only remembered what he had entrusted when the boat arrived at the lower gorge because he appreciated the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges.At that time, the current was so fast that it was difficult to go back, so we had to draw a urn of water from the gorge to fill it.Dongpo said: "The Three Gorges are connected, and the water is generally similar. How can the old master distinguish it?" Wang Anshi said: "Scholars should not act rashly, but must carefully observe it. The water properties of Qutang come from Supplementary Notes to the Water Classic. The upper gorge is too fast, the lower gorge is too slow, but the middle gorge is half as fast.The official of the Imperial Hospital is a Ming doctor. He knew that the old man had a disease called Zhongxia, so he used Zhongxia water to guide the scriptures.When Yangxian tea is cooked in this water, the flavor of the upper valley is strong, the flavor of the lower valley is light, and the flavor of the middle valley is in between.It took a while to see the brown color, so I knew it was Xiaxia. "Dongpo left the table to apologize. This matter is recorded in "Wang Anshi's Three Difficulties Su Xueshi", because it was written by Feng Menglong according to the records in ancient books. Of course, it is not all historical facts. (Ruan Haogeng) (11) Caixiang Farewell Tea (See "Celebrities and Tea·Cai Xiang") (12) Su Dongpo Dream Spring Su Dongpo served as a general judge in Hangzhou from the fourth to seventh year of Xining (AD 1071-1074), and had a close friendship with the poet monk Daoqian (known as Shen Liaozi).In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080 A.D.), Dongpo was exiled to live in Huangzhou, and Shen Liaozi traveled thousands of miles to visit and stayed for a period of one year. One day, Dongpo night dreamed that Master Canliao met each other with a poem, and after he woke up, he only remembered two sentences about drinking tea: "The cold food and Qingming are over, and the fire in Shiquan Huai is new for a while." In the dream, Su Dongpo asked: "The fire is solid and new. Why is the spring new?" Master Shen Liao replied: "It is customary to wash wells in Qingming." In the fourth year of Yuanyou (1089 A.D.), Su Dongpo came to Hangzhou again to visit Zhiguo Jingshe in Gushan.Su Dongpo visited on the day of cold food.Under the house, there used to be a spring out of the stone. It was the moon and the stone was dug to get the spring, and the spring was clearer.Shen Liaozi picks up new tea and cooks it in a spring, which fits the dream nine years ago. Su Dongpo then wrote "Shen Liao Spring Inscription" and engraved it in memory. Ming said: In the rain and dew in the sky, in the rivers and lakes. All four of us are nourished by each other. There are so many great things, and there are eight extremes at the flick of your fingers. Retiring to Siquan, one humble and four beneficial. Yuwan heard that dream is the body. Truth is a dream, and a dream is reality. Shiquan Huaihuo, believed in nine years. If you ask what you believe, it will actually harm your god. (Ruan Haogeng) (13) Modest teacher gets tea samadhi Su Dongpo went to Hangzhou for the second time in the fourth year of Yuanyou (AD 1089). On December 27 of that year, Dongpo visited Geling Shouxing Temple in West Lake.Master Qian of Jingci Temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain heard the news and rushed from Nanshan to Beishan to order tea for Su Dongpo. Su Dongpo has a poem "Send Nanping Qianshi", which records the incident.Poetry goes: The Taoist came out of Nanping Mountain at dawn to try some tea samadhi. Suddenly startled the spot of rabbit hair at noon, and made it into a spring urn. Tiantai milk flower is not seen in the world, but Yuchuan Fengye is safe today. Mr. intends to continue the "Tea Classic", which will make Lao Qian's name immortal. Su Dongpo also said in the introduction before the poem: "Nanping's modest teacher is better than tea, and Ziyun: What you get from your heart, what you should have in your hands, is not something that can be taught by words. " According to Song Wu Zeng's "Neng Gaizhai Manlu", the Northern Song historian Liu Teng (1023-1089) also gave poems to his teacher Qian. .” It can be seen that Master Qian’s tea samadhi has long been famous.Later poets of all dynasties often included this allusion in their poems.Han Yi of the Ming Dynasty wrote "Baiyunquan Tea": "White clouds do not make rain in the sky, and springs come out of stone gaps like five breasts. Pursuing can come from afar, and inscribing the original Baigong language. Knowing the taste in the mountains has high Zen, and picking new buds Before the She Yu. If you want to try the tea samadhi, go up the mountain to drink the Yunjian spring.” (Ruan Haogeng) (14) Li Qingzhao drinking tea to help students Li Qingzhao, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, recorded an interesting incident in her life when she and her husband Zhao Mingcheng returned to Qingzhou (now Yidu County, Shandong Province) when they lived in solitude in their former residence in "Jinshilu Post-Preface": Every time I get a book, I will collate it together, sign the title of the whole set, get the calligraphy and painting Yiding, and also play with Shujuan to point out the defects.One candle at the end of the night is the rate.Therefore, the paper is exquisite, the calligraphy and painting are complete, and it is the best among calligraphers.Yu Xing occasionally remembers that after every meal, he sits back in the hall and cooks tea. He refers to accumulating books and history, saying that something is on which page and line of a certain volume of a certain book.In the middle of the day, he raised his glass and laughed, until the tea was overturned in his arms, but he couldn't drink it. Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng drank tea and tested their memory during the break after dinner, which left a good story of "drinking tea to help students" for future generations, and also added charm to the tea event. (Ruan Haogeng) (15) The best spring in the world Zhongling Spring, located on the bank of Xitaying Lake in Jinshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, has been praised by the world as "the best spring in the world" for thousands of years.This fact originated from "Jiancha Shuiji" written by Zhang Youxin in Tang Dynasty.The book records that Liu Bochu ranked the water suitable for tea as the seventh grade, and the cold water in the Yangtze River ranked first.Since then, celebrities and literati of all dynasties have come here one after another, cooking springs, drinking tea, and singing praises.Song Wen Tianxiang has a poem: "The first spring in the heart of the Yangtze River, South Jinbei came to cast Wenyuan. The man cut off Loulan's head, and tasted tea scriptures to worship Yuxian." There is a sentence in Yuan Sadu: "There are not many good places in the mountains. It is famous as the first spring." Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty also wrote a poem saying: "The sun is setting and the waves are crossing, and the heart is refreshed in the midst of drinking." "The first spring in the heart of the Yangtze River".According to the poems and records, Zhongling Spring is located in the Yangtze River. "Zhonglingquan Ji" describes the method of spring extraction: "At the second hour of the noon, I used a copper bottle to enter the grotto, and found a few feet, and then I got the real spring; Ling Zhenwei." To get the spring water, you must take a boat to the center of the river according to the time, and you need special equipment and certain techniques, which is not easy to obtain.However, Quan is no longer in Jiangxin.In the early days, Jinshan was surrounded by water on all sides and stood in the middle of the Yangtze River. Visitors to Jinshan had to cross by boat.Later, due to the sediment deposition of the Yangtze River, the main flood channel continued to move northward. In the early years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Jinshan began to connect with the land on the south bank, and tourists were able to "ride donkeys to Jinshan".The Zhongling Spring at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain gradually shifted from the center of the river to the land.The Zhongling Spring was once submerged, but Wang Renkan, the prefect of Zhenjiang in the late Qing Dynasty, rediscovered it among the reeds, so he built a pool and surrounded it with stone railings. (Ruan Haogeng) (16) Many springs in the world are named "Lu Yu" There are at least four spring wells named after the "tea sage" Lu Yu in the country: Huishan Spring in Wuxi, Jiangsu, also known as "Luzi Spring"; Wenwen Spring in Tianmen, Hubei, also called "Luzi Well"; Lu Yuquan in Shangrao, Jiangxi; Weng Quan. Huishan Spring at the foot of Huishan Mountain in Wuxi is said to be titled "The Second Spring in the World" by Lu Yupin.The water quality of Huishan Spring is excellent in the upper reaches, and poorer in the middle and lower reaches.Today, Huishan stores the upstream spring in the "Yuanchi" for making tea; the middle spring in the "Fangchi"; and the downstream spring in the "Xiachi".As early as the Song Dynasty, in commemoration of Lu Yu's evaluation of Huishan Spring, the local spring was named "Luziquan" on the upper reaches of Huishan Spring, and the inscription was engraved and recorded in "Huishan Continued Chronicles". It is said that Lu Yu used to draw water to make tea here when he was a teenager.Because Lu Yu was once ordered to worship the Prince's Literature, the spring was named after "Literature", also known as Lu Zijing, commonly known as "Three Eyes Well".According to "Tianmen Zhi": In the 33rd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1768), there was a drought, and a lotus pond was dug, and a broken stele was obtained, with the word "literature" and a spring.So the wells were boiled, pavilions were built, and monuments were erected to restore the victories. Chen Dawen, the military preparation envoy of Xiangyun in Anxiang in Qing Dynasty, visited Tianmen in Renyin (1782 A.D.) and erected a stone stele in Lu Yuting by the well, with the words "Literature Spring" on the front and "Authentic Tea Tasting" on the back.In the year of Guimao (AD 1783), he also donated a stone painting and carving of a small statue of Lu Yu, and collected poems related to chanting literary springs in the past dynasties. Lu Yuquan, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, is now in the No. 1 Middle School of Shangrao City.Lu Yu once lived in seclusion in Shangrao, and Meng Jiao (751-814), a contemporary poet of Lu Yu, wrote a poem "Lu Hongjian's New Tea Mountain in Shangrao": "It looks like a Wuling, and it is moved back to this rock. The pavilion is intended to store clouds, and the stone is cut first Get the spring. Xiaozhu leads the clear blowing, and sings the flowers into a new chapter. Knowing the high and clean love, it is placed in the middle of the district." It can be seen that Lu Yu did choose a mountain to grow tea in Shangrao, and dug a well to get the spring. "Shangrao County Chronicle" said that this well spring is "white in color and sweet in taste, it is milk spring. It is red in color of earth, also known as Yanzhi well". At the foot of Jiangjun Mountain in Shuangxi Township, Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, there is "Zhu Weng Spring".According to "New Book of Tang·Yi Yi Biography": Lu Yu "at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (760 A.D.), he hid in Tiaoxi, called himself Sangzhu Weng, and wrote books behind closed doors." Lu Yu once lived in seclusion here and drank from this spring.There used to be "Ten Scenes of Shuangxi" in the local area, among which there was a scene of "Reminiscence of Zhuquan".Now the spring well is still there, also known as "Lujiajing". (Ruan Haogeng) (17) Tea Horse Trading The ethnic minorities in Northwest China eat meat and drink cheese, tea and food are equally necessary. There is a saying that "one day without tea will cause stagnation, and three days without tea will cause illness".In ancient wars, the main force was cavalry, and horses were an important factor in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.Therefore, the rulers of the past dynasties adopted the policy of controlling the tea supply, exchanging a small amount of tea for the majority of war horses, and implementing the policy of ruling the border with tea. From the first year of Tang Suzong Li Heng Zhide to the first year of Qianyuan (AD 756-758), Mongolia (the Huihe period) drove horses to market tea, which opened a precedent for tea horse trading.The tea policy in the Song Dynasty was strict. In Chengdu and Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu Province), tea and horses were respectively set up.Later, it changed its name to the Department of Tea and Horses, which promoted tea affairs and also managed horse affairs.In the third year of Jiatai (AD 1203), it was re-divided into two divisions.The Yuan Dynasty abolished the tea-horse policy implemented in the Song Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, not only the tea-horse policy of the Song Dynasty was restored, but also intensified, and this policy was used as an important means of ruling the people in the northwest region.During the reign of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, a top-grade horse could only exchange 120 catties of tea at most, and an average of less than 40 catties of tea per horse.In the Qing Dynasty, the tea policy was lax, and there were many private teas, but more tea was spent and less horses were obtained in the transaction.In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongzheng's Yinzhen reign, the government-run tea-horse trading system ceased.The tea-horse trade has been practiced for nearly 700 years. (Ruan Haogeng) (18) Tribute tea to win officials Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, was fond of tea, and tea fighting in the court prevailed.In order to meet the extravagant needs of the royal family, the category of tribute tea increased greatly, and the more the quantity, the more refined the production.Song Huizong also reused tribute tea for meritorious officials.According to "Tiaoxi Yuyin Conghua" and other records: in the second year of Xuanhe (AD 1120), the Caochen Zheng Kejian first created silver water buds and made them into "square inch new sticks".This kind of tuan is brown and white as snow, so it is called "Dragon Tuan Sheng Xue".Zheng Kejian was favored because of this, and was promoted to Fujian Road Transit Envoy.Afterwards, Zheng Kejian ordered his nephew to travel thousands of miles to various valleys to collect famous tea, and got a kind of famous tea called "Zhucao". Zheng Kejian ordered his son to go to Beijing to contribute.To be asked, he also got an official because of his meritorious service in tribute tea.At that time, someone sarcastically said: "Father is valuable because of the white tea, and son is honored as grass." When the official returned to his hometown, a large banquet was held, and the marriage was completed, and there was a lively celebration.Zheng Kejian proudly said: "It's a fluke." His nephew, Qianli, was indignant because the vermilion grass was taken away, so he said: "Qianli complains." (Ruan Haogeng) (19) Go to Zen forest for French tea The term "go to drink tea" is not only a Chinese idiom for treating guests with tea, but also a Zen forest French in Buddhist circles. The ancients believed that tea can remove miscellaneous essence, clear the heart and potter emotions, and has "three virtues": that is, it can refresh you when you sit in meditation and stay up all night; when you are full, it can help digestion and lighten your spirit;Therefore, drinking tea is most in line with the Buddhist moral concept, so it is advocated by the Zen Forest.In the Tang Dynasty, Cong Zen, an eminent monk of Guanyin Temple in Zhaozhou, was known as the "Zhaozhou Ancient Buddha". He worshiped and loved tea.Therefore, every time before he speaks, he always says: "Go and have tea".According to "Guang Qun Fang Pu Cha Pu" quoted "Zhi Yue Lu" said: "A monk came to Zhaozhou, and Zen Master Cong Zen asked: 'Have you been here recently?' Said: 'has arrived. ’ The master said: ‘Go and have tea. ’ Asked the monk again, the monk said: ‘I have never arrived. ’ The master said: 'Let's have tea. The master of the backyard asked, "Why did you go to Yeyun for tea but not Yeyun for tea?" The master called the master, and the master answered, the master said: "Go and have tea." '"——Think that drinking tea can achieve enlightenment. Since then, "go to drink tea" has become Zen Forest French. For this reason, Zhao Puchu, chairman of the Buddhist Association of China and a famous poet, wrote a poem for the "Chinese Tea Culture Exhibition Week" in the autumn of 1989, which also quoted "go to eat tea". This allusion.The poem says: Seven bowls are delicious, and one pot is really interesting. It is better to drink tea than to hold a hundred years of verses empty. Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher in my country, once wrote a poem: The shape and meaning of modern and ancient times are not bad. In ancient times, it was called tea and bitter, and it was called tea in short. Go to Zhaozhou to drink tea in French, and the three words are worth a thousand dollars. And at the end of the poem, there is a note: "Drink tea and speak for Zen master Zhaozhou Congchen Jifeng." (Yao Guokun) (20) Luoyang paper expensive "New Book of Tang·Yiwenzhi·Bie Ji Lei" contains five volumes of "Zuo Si Ji". Zuo Si, courtesy name Taichong, was born in Linzi, Qi State, Jin Dynasty.He wrote "Sandu Fu", which was appreciated and valued by Zhang Hua, the author of "Natural History" at that time.Zuo Si's "Jiao Nu" poem is the earliest tea poem with written records in the history of our country. The whole poem has 56 lines, of which only 12 lines are quoted in Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" in Tang Dynasty.There are two sentences written about tea: "The heart is a tea drama, bragging about the tripod".The "ding " here refers to the wind stove. It was about Zuo Si's two charming girls, eager to taste the tea, so they blew on the stove for boiling water with their mouths.At that time, rich people in Luoyang, Kyoto, admired Zuo Si's poems and Fu, and copied them one after another, so that the supply of paper was in short supply, so there was a saying that "Luoyang paper is expensive". (Yao Guokun)
