"The spiritual meaning of the Chinese tea ceremony can be described as diverse and complex, and in recent years, some people have intensively summarized it as 'purity, respect, ease, and truth', although it sounds like the same meaning as the Japanese tea ceremony, but the precipitation of history and culture is far away. The spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony pays more attention to the cultivation of one's own state of mind and the realm of one's own sentiment and morality, seeking the harmony and unity of man and nature, tasting tea as the heart, cooking tea as being a man, the Japanese tea ceremony was passed on from the Tang Dynasty in China, although the learning is good, but the essence of Chinese culture is not to learn, only the skin surface is not heavy on the connotation, just like the Japanese heart. seems to be polite and gentlemanly, polite and humble, but in his heart he is cold and indifferent, and he is arrogant. I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks of the old man's comments?"

Liu Wenyuan's words made Wang Jun quite embarrassed for a while, although he thought that Liu Wenyuan's words were quite reasonable, but for him, a person educated in Japanese culture, it was difficult to accept. For Wang Jun, a person who is quite sophisticated and sleek, he doesn't know how to answer Liu Wenyuan's question at this time. Hurriedly smiled to hide his embarrassment, "The master really learned from the past and the present, but Master Liu may not have lived in Japan, and there may be some misunderstandings about Japan's humanities and culture. ”

Liu Wenyuan asked, "Oh, how long have you been living in Japan?"

Wang Jun replied respectfully: "I studied in Japan at the age of 23, and after finishing my studies, I worked there for a while, and now I often return to Japan even though I live and work in Europe. Not counting my time in Europe, it's been 10 years. ”

Liu Wenyuan looked at Wang Jun and said in a flat tone: "Ten years is not too short, I have been dealing with the Japanese since 1930, during which I have experienced the 918 incident in 1931, and the 77 Incident in 1937 until August 15, 1945, which is 15 years. ”

As soon as Wang Jun heard this, he understood that Liu Wenyuan had experienced the entire history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so his impression of the Japanese was naturally not the same as him. Wang Jun understands that Liu Wenyuan can't be unhappy with Liu Wenyuan on this issue, and the best way at the moment is to change the topic.

Wang Jun said gently: "Master Liu is right, but history is history after all, let's not talk about the past, now China and Japan are friendly, people-to-people exchanges are becoming more and more numerous, we should focus on the future." Just like this tea ceremony, it is similar but not the same, but the roots are the same. ”

"Whether it is the present or the future, it is on the basis of history, history is an indispensable part, how can you only focus on the future but abandon history, how can you talk about the future without history. In my opinion, the Chinese tea ceremony and the Japanese tea ceremony should be very different and the same, and the cultural essence is the foundation of the tea ceremony. Liu Wenyuan is unrelenting on this issue.

Wang Jun did not expect that Liu Wenyuan had such a deep prejudice against the Japanese, and he grasped this question tightly, and it was difficult to answer it for a while.

Wang An, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saw that Wang Jun and Liu Wenyuan had a lot of voices on the Sino-Japanese issue, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Master Liu, I think we don't want to argue about the history of China and Japan, everything will have its own historical judgment, and the purpose of our visit to Master Liu is not for this, my brother has lived in Japan, and I have some feelings for Japan, if my brother is offended, I hope Master Liu will understand." ”

Liu Wenyuan laughed: "I'm sorry, the old man doesn't mean anything else, it's just the vicissitudes of history, and he feels a lot." Liu Wenyuan also felt that this aggressiveness was not very appropriate, not to mention that the other party was also Chinese, so there was no need to calculate too much with him in this matter.

Wang Jun hurriedly smiled and said: "In the past, we don't have to argue about history, let's just say that today's tea, this Junshan silver needle tea is fat and strong, the first cup is fragrant and refreshing, but this second cup is the true meaning of Junshan silver needle." With that, he handed the teacup in his hand to the woman who made tea.

The woman held the cup in her left hand, her middle finger was clasped on the lid of the cup, her fingers moved slightly, the lid of the cup was staggered, and the porcelain pot placed on the purple sand stove was poured slightly with her right hand.

Wang Jun praised and said: "Okay, such a calm and graceful person is really a master here, I really didn't expect this small town to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, all of them are masters like Master Liu." ”

Xiao Yi and the others were also shocked by this woman's skills, and their months of study and training were not the original ignorant boys and girls. If a woman who makes tea lifts weights lightly, she is calm and concise, and she will definitely not be able to do it without more than ten years of hard training.

Liu Wenyuan was a little puzzled by the admiration, why such a master of the tea ceremony was in this town.

The woman refilled the water for everyone one by one, and sure enough, this second cup of tea is fragrant, the tongue is sweet, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.

Liu Wenyuan couldn't help but admire it carefully. I have been wandering for many years, how can I have this elegant tea fragrance.

Seeing that it was not early, but Wang Jun's brothers and sisters had not yet explained their intentions, Liu Wenyuan glanced at Xiao Yi and the others to recall Wang An's words. "Could it be that he cares very much about Xiao Yi and the others being present, and it is inconvenient to say it?" But now Xiao Yi and the others can be said to be Liu Wenyuan's closest people, Liu Wenyuan even treats them as family members, saying that Xiao Yi and the others still need to be tempered, and such opportunities are not available all the time, since Wang Jun came to the door today, although they don't want Xiao Yi and the others to know what they want, Liu Wenyuan decided to let Xiao Yi and the others stay.

With his mind decided, Liu Wenyuan said to Wang Jun: "I know that you two have important matters to discuss, and they are my closest people, I will not hide everything from them, if you think you can just tell them about it, if you still have doubts, I will not bother each other, let's not talk about it." ”

Wang Jun's brothers and sisters didn't expect Liu Wenyuan to say such a thing, Wang An didn't want outsiders to know too much about what they were asking for, but as far as they know, only Liu Wenyuan has some ability, seeing Liu Wenyuan say this, the two exchanged glances, Wang An shook his head slightly, Wang Jun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shook his head to his sister, Wang Jun got up and said to the tea-making woman: "Please leave for the time being, if we have any needs, we will invite you over." After speaking, he bowed slightly.

The woman stood up lightly, nodded in salute, and left the tea room lightly, leading the door.

Wang Jun walked to the door and carefully closed the door again, and after being sure that the voice could not be heard, he turned back and sat down, and said to Liu Wenyuan: "Since Master Liu said so, I will not hide it from you, my brother and sister did have the audacity to come here today and want to ask Master Liu for help." As soon as Wang Jun's words came out, Xiao Yi and the others were immediately aroused, and they all listened attentively to what Wang Jun wanted.

Wang Jun continued: "What we ask for is my father's business. It's a long story, and it starts when my father was young. My father was born wealthy, studied in England and France when he was young, and later the country was in turmoil. The time was about four or three years, and my father had a marriage in the midst of the war. However, due to the war, my father was forced to separate from the woman, and my father made an appointment with the woman to meet in Wuzhen, 60 kilometers away from the town, and then my father went to the meeting place according to the appointment, but the woman was never seen.

I thought that the woman might have died in the war, and I also persuaded my father, but my father was determined to always believe that he could wait for the woman. Our children were originally moved by their father's affection, so they didn't bother to inquire about it, and then I took care of it when I was studying and working. My father is getting older, and his legs are now difficult to use due to the trauma of the war. Last year, my sister accompanied my father to Wuzhen to wait, and my sister didn't think too much about it. But then we found out that things were different from what we thought. How to say it, it seems that the ghost of the woman met her father in the place of rendezvous. My sister was horrified when she saw it with her own eyes, and quickly found me and told me about it. I was also shocked and inexplicable, I wanted to persuade my father not to come again, but after thinking about it, I decided to accompany my father this year, but I was afraid that the ghost would harm my father, and I asked for a ghost hunter to subdue the demons, and an acquaintance in the city recommended the master, and praised your ability. Therefore, we took the liberty to visit, hoping that the master would be able to help. ”
