"This is Chiba-ji?"

Su Yuan looked at the courtyard of the ancient temple, there were five groups of fifteen garden stones in the white sand, covered with moss, and there was nothing else. The white sand has concentric ripples, implying that the fish come out of the drizzle in the pool.

The flowers and branches outside the wall are low, and the cherry blossoms fall outside the wall in spring, and the flowers on the wall are swaying. Looking at the garden, no matter which angle you look at, there is always a stone hidden in the garden. Thousands of changes, like a Zen realm.

"This is dry landscape!"

Hirojiro explained, "The silver sand beach and Mukaizuki terrace are unique dry landscape-style gardens that were built in the middle of the Edo period. The conical gravel sits in a clearing covered with white sand, which symbolizes the sea, and the texture created by the gravel represents the waves, forming a very abstract landscape. ”

"On moonlit nights, the moonlight turns the beach silvery white, making it more idyllic, and the gravel is said to be designed to bring the moonlight back into the pavilion on a full moon night, which is elegant and ingenious, and it is a sight to behold. ”

Su Yuan nodded secretly, the highest level of the garden is nothing more than eight words:

Changing the scene,

Don't have a cave!

Compared with the island country with few people and many people, the area of the temple can not be compared with the famous mountains of dozens of acres of ancient temples in China, so it can only have ingenuity, see the big from the small, and use the details to create a world.

Follow Xiao Shaling to go inside, the main courtyard with the theme of geese rising from the ocean, with black and white sand to form a wave pattern, the main stone symbolizes the wild goose wings, lifelike, and the inner courtyard uses red sand instead of water.

Nine stones are placed in the water, one is the center stone, and the other eight stones are divided into two groups to form a chasing and escaping formation, with different shapes and sizes, as if two groups of children are playing and playing, full of fun.

Coming to a meditation hall in the west, here is a tea room specially reserved for Longquan Hall, the area is not large, that is, twenty square meters, which is already precious.

Originally, I thought that the tea ceremony exhibition was crowded, but it turned out that there were no more than 200 people qualified to participate, except for a few top brands and century-old brands in the circle, and everyone left was a senior collector and a pivotal figure.

"Every year, Chiba-ji Temple dedicates 28 meditation halls as tea rooms to entertain guests from all over the world, and today is the eighteenth year that Ryusendo has participated. ”

Kojiro Cocoyama asked Su Yuan to sit down, took Emi Yanagi to carefully inspect the tea room, did not let go of every corner, and wiped it repeatedly with water with his own hands, and it was only after three times that he was relieved.

Then hang the picture of Ma Yuan's autumn water in the middle, and Emi Yanagi took out the plum blue vase, put it under the painting shaft, and inserted a plum blossom, with buds to be released, and the artistic conception was far away.

Put a set of exquisite tea sets on the tea table, put hundreds of garbage and three-legged incense burners, and light the best sandalwood incense of Songmutang, the light smoke is faint, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Everything is ready, advocating Zen Buddhism in all its aspects, removing all artificial decorations, and pursuing simplicity and simplicity.

This is the aesthetics of wabi-sabi that goes deep into the marrow.

Withering can be compared to blooming, and brokenness can be better than perfection.

Rough can be better than smooth, and clumsiness can be better than dexterity.

Simplicity can also be more beautiful than gorgeous.

Su Yuan followed the customs, wore a kimono, and knelt on the tatami mat. Emi Yagyu is proficient in the tea ceremony, and today she is a tea master, arranging tea ceremonies for guests, and bringing utensils such as air stoves, tea kettles, water injections, and white charcoal from the water house, all of which are in place.

Prepare charcoal burning tools, clean the hearth, adjust the heat, remove charcoal ash, add charcoal, and occupy incense. The action is smooth and not chaotic at all, this is the charcoal etiquette.

As the host, Kojiro Coreyama must first kneel outside the movable lattice door of the tearoom to greet the guests, and the first person to enter the tearoom must be the chief guest of the guests, and the other guests will be the next to the room.

Throughout the tea party, there are specific etiquettes for the host and guest to walk, stand, sit, send, receive the tea bowl, drink the tea, watch the tea set, and even wipe the bowl, place the objects, and speak.

The duration of a tea ceremony is usually about two hours. At the end of the ceremony, the host must once again kneel outside the lattice door of the tea room to see off the guests, and at the same time accept the parting praise from the guests.

Emi Yagyu carefully wipes all kinds of tea utensils with tea towels, takes two or three spoons of tea powder from the tea can with a tea spoon, places them in a tea bowl, then pours boiling water, and then stirs the tea in the bowl with a tea whisk until the tea soup is foamy.

Everything was ready, waiting for the guests to come, Su Yuan closed his eyes and rested, looking forward to who the first guests were?

The sound of squirming footsteps sounded at the door, and the cocoon mountain stood up, ready to welcome the distinguished guests, and those who were qualified to come were masters, and they could not be lazy.

"Chiba Master ......"

"And Master Quanshan......"

Seeing the two people who came in first, Cocoon Mountain was shocked, and he hurriedly threw himself to the ground, knelt down and said, "I didn't expect the two masters to come, it's a great honor!"

When Su Yuan opened his eyes, he saw an old man in good spirits, and a monk with kind eyebrows, and three people standing behind him, with extraordinary style.

"Cocoon-kun doesn't have to be polite, there are friends from afar, how can you not enter the door?"

Master Chiba smiled, turned around and said, "It's not just me today, but also Master Izumiyama, Noritake's Honda, Narumi's Kawakami, and Nikko's Sakuragi, it's a rare opportunity to get together and disturb you!"

Cocoon Mountain laughed, invited everyone to the table, and introduced: "You came just in time today, Miss Emi Yanagi personally presided over the tea party, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good luck." ”

Emi Yanagi didn't expect to see the most well-known tea ceremony master in China, the head of the Chiba family, and the Zen monk Izumi, so she quickly knelt down and said, "Emi has seen two masters. ”

Chiba waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Yanagi Xinyin Stream has risen strongly, and I haven't had time to congratulate your father yet, I have the opportunity to come to the door in person, and when the time comes, I will appreciate the famous knife that the Yanagi family keeps secret." ”

After hearing this, Cocoon Mountain smiled slightly, and said: "Why bother to seek the near and far, the owner of the famous knife is close at hand today!"

Everyone was stunned, and all eyes fell on the remaining young people who had not been introduced, and a thought flashed in Honda's mind, and he tentatively asked: "Could this be the legendary ......?"

Kojiro Cocoon looked at Su Yuan and introduced in Chinese: "Yes, this is the Dragon Spring Sword Casting Master, Master Su, and Hongjiro's best friend." ”

So young!

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a look of surprise, they didn't expect that the legendary sword-casting master who swept the world's five famous swords was so young?

Su Yuan smiled and hugged his fist and saluted, laughing without saying a word, and Chiba said politely in fluent Chinese: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, good!"

Several other people also greeted each other in Chinese, and Su Yuan said politely: "Su has just arrived, please take care of me." ”

Monk Quanshan smiled, his eyes fell on the painting scroll in the middle of the tea room, and said calmly: "One period and one meeting, across thousands of years, it is really a blessing to be able to see the true works of Ma Yuan in the Song Dynasty." ”

"What?"

"It's actually Song Mayuan!"

"National Treasure!"
