He is extremely persistent in details, and he talks about a delicacy.

Su Shi is very good at cooking tea, and there is the so-called "three uniques for drinking tea", that is, the beauty of tea, the beauty of water, and the beauty of pots.

Needless to say, Su Shi insisted that water is also an important component of making good tea, and he once said in "Seeking Jiao Qianzhi Hui Mountain Spring Poem" that "fine aversion to the fanquan", his dedication to the details of cooking tea can be seen.

When Su Shi lived in Yixing Shushan to give a lecture, he was very fond of Jinsha spring water, and often sent child servants to Jinsha Temple to fetch water.

Later, Su Shi prepared two peach charms of different colors and handed them to the child servant and the monk respectively, and every time he took water, he had to exchange the peach charm with the monk so that the child servant could not be lazy. In addition, Su Shi is very particular about the water temperature when cooking tea and boiling water, and he can't make a little difference.

His experience is that boiling water is moderate when it is boiled at the beginning of the boiling with small bubbles like crab eyes and fish eyes, and when it makes a sound like pine waves, it is the best way to bring out the fragrance of tea from new springs. If it is boiled excessively, it is called "old" and loses its freshness.

Su Shi not only drew water, made fires, and sencha by himself, but was also proficient in grinding tea. He also once designed a kind of beam-type teapot, cooking tea taste, comfortable and contented, with the inscription "pine wind bamboo stove, lifting the pot to call" verse.

A couplet of interesting stories spread all over the world, saying that the world is warm and cold.

The long-term life of a magistrate and a degraded man made Su Shi cover all over the country, from Sichuan to Zhejiang, from the Song-Liao border to Lingnan and Hainan, providing him with opportunities to taste famous teas from all over the world. Among them, there are endless interesting stories about Su Shi's tea drinking, and the most memorable thing for future generations is the absolute painting he made in Mogan Mountain.

According to legend, Su Shi, who was the general judge of Hangzhou at that time, passed through Mogan Mountain during a trip and came to a temple to rest. The old Taoist who was in charge of the temple saw that he was dressed simply and his appearance was ordinary, and he was quite cold to him, so he just said "sit" and said "tea" to the Taoist boy.

After Su Shi sat down to talk, the old Taoist felt that the guest had learned and had an extraordinary background, so he led Su Shi to the wing room, and said politely: "Please sit", and said to the Taoist child: "Tea ceremony".

After an in-depth conversation between the two, Lao Dao knew that the visitor was the famous poet Su Shi, and he was immediately in awe, and hurriedly said: "Please take a seat", so Su Shi was let into the living room, and instructed Dao Tong: "Toast fragrant tea."

Su Shi rested in the living room for a while, then got up to say goodbye to Lao Dao, at this time, Lao Dao hurriedly asked Su Shi to leave a calligraphy treasure for him as a commemoration, Su Shi smiled indifferently, and wrote in a dashing manner:

Sit down, sit down, sit down

Tea toast tea toast fragrant tea

After seeing it, Lao Dao immediately felt hot on his face and ashamed. Since then, this pair has also been used by later generations as an allusion to warn of "snobbery" and has been widely circulated.

Su Dongpo studied Buddhism deeply, and was also proficient in the tea ceremony, and wrote many popular tea poems. For drinking tea, Dongpo has a unique secret. At the same time, he has a lot of research on tea, water quality, utensils, and decoction methods. This can be glimpsed from his poems:

"Sencha in the Trial Hospital": "The crab eye has passed the fish eye, and it wants to make a pine wind roar." The mushrooms are ground and the beads fall, and the dizziness is light around the snow. The silver bottle of epsom soup boasted the second, and did not know the meaning of ancient and modern decoction of water. You don't see that in the past, Li Sheng was hospitable and fried himself, and he made a new spring from the living fire. I don't see Lugong sencha learning Xishu now, and Dingzhou flower porcelain and red jade. I am poor and sick and hungry today, and I have no jade bowl to hold my eyebrows, and I learn to make tea in the public house. Bo Hearth Stone Cho line with each other. There is no need to hold the intestines and abdomen to write 5,000 volumes, but I hope that one Ou will often sleep and when the day is high. ”

The poem talks about the issue of paying attention to the heat of sencha, and it describes the tea, tea soup, tea utensils and tea effects, all in one go, which is fascinating.

"Xijiang Moon": "Dragon Bake is a masterpiece this year, and the valley curtain has been a treasure spring since ancient times. Snow buds are scattered in Shuangjing, and Miao descendants come from Beiyuan. The soup is snowy and white, and the floating milk is light and round. Who dares to compete more in the world. Take the red window flour noodles. ”

It is mentioned in the words that the dragon roasting masterpiece with the grain curtain Zhenquan decoction is the ultimate tea in the world.

"Jijiang Sencha": "Living water must also be cooked by live fire, and it is deep and clear from the fishing stones." The big scoop stores the moon and returns to the spring urn, and the small ladle divides the river into the night bottle. The snow milk has been fried, and the pine wind suddenly makes a sound. The dry intestines are not easy to ban three bowls, and sit and listen to the length of the deserted city. ”

The first part of the poem describes the joy of cooking tea in the river on a moonlit night, and the second part uses the overturning changes of tea and nature to contrast the impermanence of the world and soothe his own miserable situation.

"Water Tune Song Head": "It has been a few storms, there was a thunder the night before, the flag and gun battled, and the spring color of Jianxi took the lead. Take the tongue of the twig, with dew and smoke, mash it, and form a purple cloud pile. Gently move the gold mill, fly up the green dust, the old dragon group, the real phoenix pith, point to the future, the rabbit is in the lamp, and the tongue is back in an instant. Wake up Qingzhou to engage, retreat from the nightmar millions, and can't dream of the balcony. The breeze in the armpits, I want to go to Penglai. ”

This word describes the scene of tea picking, tea making, and tea ordering, as well as the feeling of tasting tea, and describes it very vividly and vividly.

Tea fights and wits, and tea and ink are married.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the literati were proud of the tea, not only fond of drinking, but also participated in tea picking and tea making, so the wind of tea fighting rose, people gathered together to fight tea and taste tea, and they also brought their own tea sets and tea to better play the excellent quality of famous tea.

This kind of "tea war" has made many literati and artists rush to it. Fan Zhongyan's "Song of Tea Fighting" said: "Beiyuan will dedicate the Son of Heaven, and the heroes under the forest will fight for beauty first." ”

Legend has it that one day, Sima Guang made an appointment with more than ten people and gathered together to fight tea. Everyone took out their own collection of the best tea, the most precious tea utensils, etc., to the meeting, first look at the tea sample, then smell the tea, and then taste the taste of tea. After a series of competitions, the white tea brewed by Su Shi and Sima Guang stood out, but Su Shi brought snow water to make tea, with good water quality and pure tea taste, so it was better than Sima Guang's white tea.

Su Shi was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a sense of pride.

Sima Guang was not convinced, so he came up with a problem to suppress Su Shi's arrogance, so he asked Su Shi with a smile: "Tea wants white, ink wants ink; Tea is heavy, ink is light; Tea wants to be new, and ink wants to be old. Why do you love two things together?"

Everyone applauded when they heard this, thinking that this question was a good one, thinking that they could stump Su Shi.

How do you know that Su Shi was confident, paced a few steps indoors with a smile, and calmly asked cheerfully: "The strange tea is wonderful and fragrant, do you think it is true?"

Tea and ink have a fate, and love it, tea is good for people's thoughts, ink is good for tea style, complement each other, and it is really wonderful to say a wonderful word. Since then, tea and ink have become a beautiful talk.

In the year of Dongpo's death, he seemed to have made a summary of his life in a poem. The poem reads:

The heart is like a gray wood, and the body is like an untied boat. Ask Ru Ping's life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.

These three "states" are all places where Dongpo has been degraded. Dongpo regards these places of suffering in life as his "life's work", why is this?

Because the ancient Chinese talked about the "three immortals", this is virtue, meritorious service, and speech. Literature and art can be counted in the middle of the words. And some of the immortal works of Dongpo are mostly written in the place of depreciation. This may have something to do with Mr. Dongpo's proficiency in the tea ceremony.

Su Dongpo was framed, belittled, exiled all his life, tossed and turned, there were far more thorns than flowers, and the tribulations far exceeded comfort. Despite this, he was able to face it calmly and find joy in his life. Everywhere he went, he left behind too many frustrations and misfortunes, but also pearl-like words and touching legends.

He is a mountain that is difficult to surpass, and his attainments in the fields of poetry, calligraphy, painting, articles, philosophy, medicine, food, water conservancy, health preservation, and even Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism have reached the peak.

He is a genius of the world, and his two words have been sung for thousands of years, and future generations only have the share of the mountains.
