Chapter 286: One Period, One Meeting
The pot of the tea ceremony?!
Keio Matsuda was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed out loud: "Ridiculous! A teapot that is not even porcelain, and it burns crumpled can also be called a teapot of tea ceremony? Lu Yu, when I heard you talk about the six gentlemen of the tea ceremony, it was still like that, but now you are simply talking about it!"
In fact, it's not just Keio Matsuda who thinks so, even most of the rest of the Chinese people have this idea.
Because the Zhu Ni Junde pot that Lu Yu took out is indeed inferior in appearance.
You know, no one in this world has ever seen or heard of the "purple clay pot", let alone "no wrinkles, no vermilion", "vermilion firing is very difficult, the yield is very low" and so on.
Now that they suddenly saw this Zhu Ni Junde pot, of course everyone was very puzzled.
Why did Lu Yu call this teapot, which looks non-pottery and non-porcelain, the teapot of the tea ceremony? In addition to the somewhat peculiar color and shape of the pot, is there anything else special?
Lu Yu was also a little helpless, everyone believed what he summed up, but he didn't believe the things that were originally recognized by the world. It seems that the purple clay pot will have to go through a long process if it wants to develop in this world.
Of course, it is impossible for Lu Yu to explain the theory of "no wrinkle and no vermilion" to everyone, one is too time-consuming, and the other is not accurate, as long as the beneficiation and firing are just right, the purple sand fired by vermilion can also be smooth and beautiful, but the yield is very low.
Moreover, the "price" of the purple sand "exchanged" by Lu Yu is not high, and it is far from being so perfect. In the original world, the mineral materials and firing process of this Zhu Ni Junde pot can only be regarded as the public level.
Because of this, Lu Yu didn't explain too much, but took out the rest of the tea sets he had chosen one by one wrapped in a small package with an indifferent face.
The rest of the tea sets are much more ordinary.
White porcelain tea lotus is used to watch tea and wake up tea.
The glass cup is used to check the color of the tea soup in an all-round way, as well as to divide the tea.
A slightly larger tea wash is used to clean the teacups and tea utensils.
In addition, there are tea cups for straining tea residues, as well as several white porcelain teacups, etc.
Only those who are also white porcelain, the number of white porcelain teacups equal to the white porcelain small teacups of some smaller calibers is a little puzzling, most of the tea sets are all common things on the market, the workmanship is not fine, and the price is not too high.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, compared with Keio Matsuda, Lu Yu's tea set was a little special at the beginning, and the value of the two sides was simply incomparable.
And Keio Matsuda also recovered from his initial suspicion, with a contemptuous sneer on his face.
"Mr. Lu, since you're ready, can I start?"
At this moment, Lu Yu had already asked the soldiers on the side to help him light a small bonfire, set up a shelf, and put a clean military kettle full of water aside.
After hearing Matsuda Keio's inquiry, he smiled and nodded: "Of course, let's ask Mr. Matsuda to make tea and preach first." ”
Matsuda Keio is also not polite, of course, he is not afraid that Lu Yu will learn his techniques. Each tea person's brewing technique is different, and the understanding of the tea ceremony is also different.
After seeing the various tea sets that Lu Yu took out, Keio Matsuda also groaned for a moment.
Obviously, Lu Yu's "novelty" tea sets also brought him a little pressure.
Suddenly, he took off the white porcelain teapot from the teahouse and set it aside, and took out a small cloth bag from the package and opened it.
After Lu Yu saw the contents of the bag, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "Brew tea?"
Matsuda Keio glanced at Lu Yu in a little surprise, and then said proudly: "Even if you have some knowledge, this is exactly how I make tea!"
The package he opened was none other than a dark cast-iron teapot!
Keio Matsuda is a first-class tea person in both Dongying and Asia, and his attainments in tea are naturally extremely profound. In this era when brewing has long been ingrained, he can do the opposite and make tea with an iron kettle, even Lu Yu, who is an opponent, can't help but be quite moved by his thoughts.
It's just that he was just moved, although it is good to make tea, but Lu Yu does not agree very much with making black tea. If you drink black tea, it is better to brew it.
I saw Keio Matsuda pour water into the cast iron kettle and said: "I have studied black tea for many years, and I found that the method of boiling tea is more suitable for black tea, which is a fully fermented tea. ”
While speaking, Matsuda Keio's face still became unwavering, and all distracting thoughts in his heart were gradually eliminated.
The most important cultivation in the tea ceremony, Dongying tea ceremony has been "one period and one meeting" to control the heart of tea people, and every time you make tea and drink tea as the only time in your life, and this situation and environment can be said to be the only one in your life.
Keio Matsuda got into the groove almost in an extreme amount of time.
Lu Yu saw that Matsuda Keio was like this, and his face became equally solemn.
No matter how disdain and hatred they are, the two sides are still sitting on an equal footing in front of tea. Realizing that the tea ceremony is also an exchange of hearts, Lu Yu also agrees with the meaning of "one period and one meeting" upheld by Dongying tea people.
The so-called "one period and one meeting" is the term used in the Dongying tea ceremony.
Originally, it was an important tea ceremony proposed by Toei Rikyu Jijuko (Murata) stream and Shaoou (Takeno) stream, but it was not a tea ceremony at that time.
Later, it was further developed after the dissemination and revision of the Seven Philosophers, the Three Thousand Families and the Thousand Sects (Risenka), and Hasamizu Soda.
Its literal meaning is that there is only one fate in a lifetime, and there is only one chance to meet and meet something or something (person) within a certain period of time.
Integrating into the tea ceremony is to make the people participating in the tea ceremony calm their minds and clear their minds through the tea ceremony, and naturally emerge with a sense of "one meeting, one meeting, one rare side, and the world should cherish it". Then think about the separation of life and the joy of getting together, so that the spiritual realm of the participants can be baptized and reach a higher state - nirvana in meditation.
This is the principle of "one period and one meeting", and it is also the truth contained in tea.
Now, Matsuda Keio is adhering to the heart of this period, kneeling with a solemn face, although there are no pavilions and pavilions around him, but he also suddenly gave birth to a touch of desolate and lonely depression.
