Tea is the love of literati, of course, there are many people who love arty like me.
Since ancient times, tea and wine have been the companions of talented people and beautiful women, and the lingering wine of Li Qingzhao's sleeping. They are Li Bai and bring me my shadow, so that the three of us can spit out half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They are the heroic spirit of * * *, the dream of modern literati Zhou Zuoren, and the endless tea and wine written by Feng Tang.
Tea and wine have always been a topic. Wine is a knight in the drink, which makes people intoxicated and sleepy. There is a stronger emotional color, wine is fire, and love is righteousness. Drinking is for fun. After drinking a few bowls, you are brothers. This is the set of things in the Jianghu.
And tea makes people awake, tea is ice, look on coldly. Tea emphasizes the restraint and alienation that a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
Tea is a hermit, light and sweet, with a light and far-reaching purpose. Unlike Jianghu children drinking, it is an unruly feeling of pushing a cup for a change. What is brewing in tea is a heart that is indifferent to Zhi Ming.
Tea and wine are like old times. Tea is the introduction of pure mind, let us keep a respectful and humble heart, wine is the introduction of inspiration, let us spend the days before and after.
I prefer tea. Tea won't make you drunk, but it will sober you up. Tea is a cautious and independent gentleman. Always restrained and reserved. Tea is quiet and indifferent, elegant, simple and harmonious. In short, it makes people feel calm like water.
People who can drink together may be out of social intercourse, fair-weather friends, or people who take part in accidental amusement, but drinking tea is different. There is no need to make so much noise when drinking tea. You need to get rid of worldly desires and immerse yourself in an elegant atmosphere. You don't need to say anything, you don't need to please, you just need someone who knows the taste.
I like to make a cup of tea in a quiet morning, which can not only warm my body, but also make my whole body feel comfortable.
In front of tea, regardless of rank or wealth, as long as you have a simple tea heart.

Tea is a general introduction, a hint of general existence and a medium for communication between man and nature.
After a burst of chaos in spring water, it was in a state of disintegration and gradually alienated. Those than nightingales have twists and turns. Under the infiltration of boiling water, Xu Ya-sheng showed her graceful figure bit by bit, as if water was born to be its Dojo, full of noise, momentum and elasticity. With water, every small piece of tea is a bright world, revealing its brilliance in a silent world.
Tea, watered with boiling water, is full of confusion and floats in delicate white porcelain cups. I swam for a while and sat quietly at the bottom of the cup like a Zen. It's a lot like life. After the vicissitudes of life, the noise is followed by the silence of falling flowers. Qian Fan's clearness is to sit idly by and be somewhat self-sufficient without hindrance. Everything is like passing clouds, which boils down to simplicity.
A cup of tea, Zhu Fan is a quiet and ethereal realm. Tea hides the profound wisdom of life and the pursuit of tranquility.
Like friends, even if it is vigorous, it can't resist the final silence. The flowers are in bloom and are already on their way home.
In the filled tea, I smelled the fragrance of tea, and at the intersection of eyes and eyes, I seemed to have an epiphany. A secular heart has also become light and quiet at this moment.
In the process of tea tasting, the taste of tea began to change to varying degrees. I think the first level of tea tasting is to appreciate the faint fragrance, and the second level is to appreciate the bitter experience and epiphany, which is also the taste of life. The third layer is my forgetfulness, six clean and ethereal.
When drinking tea, you should put aside all distractions and obsessions, temporarily isolate yourself from the world and concentrate on drinking tea. All this is a respect for tea.

Tea should be quiet, and the ancient music is fragrant.
Most people who love tea are also quaint people.
Burn incense and listen to the piano to make the space quieter. Look at the faint fragrance that is curling up. Endless years seem to have stopped, so clear and quiet.
Sometimes, tea tasting is also a kind of practice in the world of mortals. Tea, heavy gift. Wash your hands and tea sets before entering the tea table, and prepare saucers on the tea table. Chaze can be used to match tea hearts or burn incense.
Tea should be refined, frugal and refined.
If three or five friends drink tea together, swearing by one person will inevitably destroy this elegant atmosphere and emotional appeal.
Taste its tea and talk about its heart. The character of tea is a quiet and tranquil aesthetic.
"Harmony" means that in the world of tea ceremony, everyone is equal and emphasizes harmony. "Respect" means mutual respect; "Clean" means that the environment and utensils in the teahouse are clean and free from dust. There is also a pure heart and an ethereal heart. "Quiet" refers to a quiet state of mind that is not shaken by external changes, or to create a quiet atmosphere in a teahouse.

I like tea as much as I like orchids. There are always some similarities between them. It's not as fierce as wine, and it always has a faint fragrance, which makes people memorable. Green mountains and green waters are in front of us, which is the cool breeze of spring breeze. Dark brown reminds me of the quiet scenery on the tea mountain. Tea farmers are hugging meticulous tea pickers with bamboo on their backs.
Tea gathers the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and is nourished by wind, frost and rain. In an instant, the tea soup turned from turbid to clear, and all the complications were left behind.
Tasting tea is a mild taste. The lightness of tea is not frivolous, but a very subtle feeling. Take a sip, and endless fresh fragrance will fill the mouth, penetrate into the heart and spleen, and thread the needle. Follow the nose, mouth and heart, leaving a fragrance.
Its taste is not eye-catching and full, so you have enough patience, need your piety, and need your heart to measure its elegant meaning and unobtrusive character.
No coquettish flattery, no insincere talk and joy, no communication and people who can't look directly at each other. Tea, like a bosom friend, is hard to find, and if it happens, it is so gratifying.
Drinking tea in the pavilion is also an elegance.
Love tea is also a clean and empty world. The freshness of tea spreads step by step, and the fragrance between the teeth is fragrant. Following the fragrance of flowers and trees, it seems to be far away from the world. I heard the bells and drums in the morning. The wind was cold, white clouds were coming out and there was fog on the mountain. Tea is light and easy to understand.
Bring a tea set, find a quiet couple, a ladle of water and a stove. In Song Dynasty, Luo Dajing said in "The Sound of Tea" that there is an urgent need for insects, cicadas, cars and water.
Others describe the sound of tea as boiling like a fish's eye. The edge is like a spring bead, which is two boiling points; Make waves and drum waves, let three people boil. It can be seen that the ancients were meticulous about tea.
Tea is not only a snack for ordinary people after a full meal. Tea is a simple attitude towards life. Good tea doesn't need fancy clothes, fancy cups or flashy houses.
I can't help thinking of Japanese tea ceremony master Morino Rixiong. You can make the best tea with a simple tea set and a simple house.
Mori noriky has created a unique silent tea. The walls of the teahouse are bare coarse soil, and the panes are made of bamboo poles. In this way, with wildness, we can communicate with nature and realize the harmony between man and the environment. Mori no Rikyū' s tea ceremony is the simplest beauty, which incorporates the silence and sadness of Japanese aesthetics. In the tea ceremony of Andromeda, there are several points. The flowers in the teahouse 1 should be collected from the wild, like flowers in the night of Yuan Dynasty. There should be enough charcoal to boil water. Drinking tea in summer should make people feel cool. Drinking tea in winter should make people feel warm. The space of the teahouse should pay attention to details and point out the meaning of the four seasons with utensils. Feel sincere and concerned about the guests at the dinner table.
Bird, an ancient tea lover, once said that drinking tea with fewer guests is more expensive, and there are many noisy people. Noisy people lack elegant taste, so they should appreciate their profundity in silence. There are too many people, and my mind is easily distracted, so I can't concentrate all my energy on drinking tea. More is verbal communication and self-expression.
Today, some people like to linger in the downtown teahouse and watch the posturing performances of women wearing inferior cheongsam. I just want to get out of these scenes as soon as possible.
Three provinces and self-care, gentlemen are cautious and independent, all done by one person in one room, so I like to drink tea alone, take out a childlike heart and examine myself. Isn't this a kind of accomplishment? What are the sparse places in recent days? What are the impolite behaviors? Is there room for learning and improvement?

Tea has rich connotation and charm. In ancient times, tea has entered the homes of ordinary people and belongs to the same category as tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Tea can be divided into four realms. First, quenching thirst and drinking tea is so extensive, just like drinking beef. I don't think this is what people who love tea love. People who don't know tea swallow dates as drinks to quench their thirst.
Second, pay attention to its color, fragrance, taste and shape, and pay attention to the use of tea sets and the quality of water. Third, the essence of brewing technology is to be able to perceive the wonderful meaning between slow sips.
Fourth, in the whole process of tea affair, we can think about life from shallow to deep, get rid of utilitarian vulgarity gradually, and then taste the true meaning of life, realize the light, go straight to people's hearts, see nature clearly, and meet spiritual needs and enjoyment. In my mind, this is the quiet tea garden. If a glass of clear water is put in front of you, if you can still drink tea, it is a lofty realm.
The first three stay on the material level, while the fourth one is on the spiritual level.

In the afternoon, I took a nap on the cane chair. My sleeping flesh and blood are gone, and the purple curtains are drawn. The midday sun is so bright and strong.
I looked at the white porcelain lamp unhurriedly, and the strong light stuck on the wall highlighted the delicate and moist quality of the cup. There seems to be endless subtle silver light in white, which is transparent and white, and people can't help but want to play with it in their hands. The white interior is sublime, elegant and clear.
There is still some temperature and coolness in the lamp. Mottled light and shadow fell around, round and round, very beautiful.
I love this clear tea soup, and I love the harmonious state of tea and water. The green of the onion cage is like a mountain, bright and beautiful like a gentle eye.
Tea tastes light, just like its indifferent mind. Tea is not as violent as wine, which stimulates the nasal cavity and stomach. Drinking wine makes people more worried. Tea keeps its tenderness and acceptance, and its fragrance is overflowing. The entrance is the endless patience of running water, which makes them feel gentle and sweet afterwards.
Green tea, black tea, green tea, scented tea, radish and cabbage have their own tastes. Every kind of tea has different temperament, just like people with different temperament, some are calm, some are old, some are hot, and some are simple.
I like drinking scented tea. She is like a gentle and elegant woman, gentle and calm, with a clean heart. I like to watch flowers return to youth with the support of water. This is a baptism of life. After several processes, it is still beautiful and moving. In the infiltration of water, they are soft and firm.
The temperament of flowers is sometimes comparable to that of women, such as tea and tea. Every time I know and taste a kind of tea, it's like meeting a woman. If you are touched, you can't wait to know. If you are unmoved, you will be perfunctory.
Su Shi has a cloud, and he wants to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, which has never been as beautiful as a beauty. Tea, like a beautiful woman, has different temperament and charm, but it deserves attention.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless stories about tea. The fragrance of tea lingers in the pages, accompanied by the development of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and other cultures.
We've all heard of the preface to the Lanting Pavilion on March 3rd, but we didn't know there was a grand tea banquet in Datang on March 3rd. In the Tang Dynasty, there were countless poems praising tea, but only one prose.
On March 3, the day when the world had finished drinking, philosophers proposed to drink tea instead. It is laying flowers and laying bricks, resting in the shade of the courtyard, pleasant breeze, sunny, green fingers, fragrant branches climbing, idle warblers near the table without flying, red cores blowing clothes without leaving. Making fragrant foam, floating cups and setting amber color, this is life. Although not intoxicating, it is slightly refreshing. Although there are five clouds of fairy pulp, there is nothing to add. Zuo Youzi, Nanyang gifted scholar, Hou Xu, Levin, and Tong Ersanzi are all worthy of appreciation, but they don't speak poetry.
On the third day of March, people take tea instead of wine to attend the Spring Festival tea banquet. There is a cool breeze in Xu lai, the shadows are dancing, and the red sun is in the sky, which makes people want to get drunk. Some people lie on the green haze, some people sit and climb the fragrant branches, and others are scattered at will, which is not formal. Drink a cup of shallow tea, and clothes with red cores will make the environment more beautiful and elegant.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Miao Yu is a man who knows tea, and the tea he has achieved is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Miaoyu once said, one cup is delicious, two cups are stupid things to quench your thirst, and three cups are drinks for cattle and mules.
On one occasion, Miaoyu invited Baochai and Daiyu to the Jade Buddha Temple to drink sacrificial tea. Miaoyu used guanidine for Baochai, a small rhinoceros for Daiyu and a green jade bucket for herself. Tea sets are valuable, and the water for drinking tea is collected from plum blossoms in temples. The preciousness of this tea is evident. It shows its luxury to entertain guests with excellent literary and artistic objects for tea. At the same time, it also implies the relationship between Miaoyu and Daiyu Baochai, that is, they are good sisters, and of course they should bring out the best things to entertain their guests.
Su Shi wrote that "snow foam milk blooms in the afternoon, bamboo shoots fall and taste spring vegetables, and the taste of the world is pure joy" and so on.
Speaking of tea, I have to mention Cha Sheng, tea fairy and Lu Yu.
Lu Yu, the word hung-chien, is a good tea all his life. After years of travel, he wrote the world's first tea book, Tea Classic, which was the origin of later tea culture monographs.
Tang Zhaolin's "Quotations" said: "There was a monk named Lu at the Longgai Temple in Jingling, who gave birth to a newborn baby on the embankment and took it as his surname." It means that Lu Yu was originally an abandoned baby, but was later picked up from the riverbank by a monk in Longgai Temple-Master Jingling Jigong. Before becoming a monk, he took his common surname Lu as his surname.
Zhiji is also a well-read person. He learned a craft around him, including art tea. According to Lu Yu's autobiography, although Lu Yu is in the pure land of Buddhism, he doesn't want to cut his hair and become a monk. The master wouldn't let him copy the scriptures. He brazenly said,' Is it filial to have a fresh brother and no heir?' I mean, I don't have a brother, I don't have an heir when I die, and I haven't done my duty to future generations. Is this filial piety? This remark angered Ji Ji, and he was punished with severe punishments such as herding cattle, cleaning toilets and cleaning temples, which made him repent.
Later, I couldn't stay any longer. /kloc-when I was 0/2 years old, I found an opportunity to sneak out and became a performer. Because Lu Yu was brilliant and appreciated by the nobles, he lived in seclusion in Huomen Mountain with Zou Fuzi.
Lu Yu's life was full of knowledge and talent. The world only knows his reputation as Cha Sheng, but doesn't know that Lu Yu is also a great scholar and cultural relic connoisseur who can correctly recite poems. It's just that his achievements in the tea ceremony are even better, and the light hides his other talents. Just like some literati Su Shi in the history of China, they are also great calligraphers, but their achievements in literature conceal their talents in this field.
Before The Book of Tea came out, Lu Yu was famous as a scholar. Everywhere he went, there were literati and the masses, but Lu Yu was not Cha Sheng at that time, which was due to his position in the literary world.
Lu Yu made many friends all his life and was active in the literary world. When he studied under Zou, he was appreciated by Dr. Cui, a doctor of rites, and spent three years with him. He is an unforgettable friend, closely related to the Duke of Yan Lu in the Tang Dynasty. Yan Zhenqing once built a pavilion at Miao Feng Temple in Jue Mountain, Huzhou. It was built on December 21st, the eighth year of Dali, which coincided with the year of decadence, the month of decadence and the day of decadence, hence the name "Three Decades". This pavilion was designed by Lu Yu, recorded and composed by Yan Zhenqing, and composed by Jiao Ran.

Most people who love tea also have a soul connected with the heart of tea. They don't like luxury, like frugality, and tend to be indifferent and stable psychologically.
Tea can temporarily soothe the tired heart in the troubled world, and also make people feel mysterious and ethereal. Tea is dust-laden algae snow. The key is whether you can understand that subtle feeling, an unspeakable feeling, like flirting, like bodhi flowers.
Tea warms the years and soothes people. Don't panic, don't be busy, don't make noise, don't make trouble, drink a cup of tasteless tea, read a book without words, and live an ordinary life without regrets.
