Confucius was hailed as a sage by later generations, and he once had a famous theory: "I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want, do not exceed the rules." ”

It means: "At the age of fifteen, I am determined to follow the path of university, at the age of thirty I can stand on my own, at the age of forty I can be free from confusion, at the age of fifty I understand the fundamental laws of the physics of the Heavenly Dao, at the age of sixty I can understand everything I know, and at the age of seventy I can do whatever I want without going beyond the law." ”

This passage is the trajectory of Confucius's life, and it is also Confucius's own account of his process of learning and cultivation. This is also a process of gradual improvement of the ideological realm as we grow older.

If you follow Confucius to learn the tea ceremony, you can start at the age of 15 and continue to talk about it until the age of 70. It should be said that this age is a very important period for a person. In this way, a person's life is accompanied by tea acquaintance.

Thus, the sage tea ceremony is presented in this way:

The first course: "Zhixue Tea"

Confucius said: "I am determined to learn five times out of ten." ”

It can be said that the "Confucius Tea Ceremony" began with the aspiration to learn, and it was the first way for future generations to learn Confucius's thoughts. Confucius was determined to study at the age of 15, he advocated "first difficult and then gained, first bitter and then sweet", this is the first bitter tea, there is no beginning of the "bitter tea", there is no future "sweet tea", young people do not endure hardships when they study, the boss can only be sad in vain.

The second course: "Erli tea"

Confucius said: "Thirty and stand." ”

Therefore, a person should not only aspire to "stand at thirty", but also warn his son that "if you don't learn poetry, you can't speak", and "if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand". That is, only after learning poetry and books and understanding etiquette can you stand up and speak and do.

Tea ceremony is a kind of culture, inviting people to taste tea is a kind of etiquette, people to the age of 30 to achieve a career and can meet friends with tea, a wide range of virtuous people, in the society to stand in the way. After tasting this "Erli Tea", you can deeply understand the taste of sweet and bitter life in the past 30 years.

The third course: "Don't confuse tea"

Confucius said: "Forty is not confused." ”

This means that time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, ten years later, people will reach the age of forty before they know it, and they will firmly believe in their own words and deeds, and will not be easily confused by external things. After drinking this tea, you can not only see clearly, but also nourish your heart, you will see life and society more clearly, understand better, and you will be more firm in your beliefs.

Fourth course: "Destiny Tea"

Confucius said: "Fifty knows the destiny of heaven." ”

Confucius said that when a person reaches 50, he should understand that the development of the world has its objective laws, which are all arranged by God. Just as the ancients said: "Seek things in people, and achieve things in heaven", everyone drinks this tea, and they can better grasp their own destiny, seize opportunities, and make their wishes come true.

The fifth way: "Ear Shun tea"

Confucius said: "Sixty and the ear is smooth." ”

Confucius said that when a person reaches sixty, he can listen to any kind of speech, and he can distinguish between truth and falsehood, distinguish right from wrong, see everything in the world as light as water, and no longer pursue false fame. Drinking this tea will definitely make people calm and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching. "Ershun Tea" is just like life, after four courses, although the tea has a light taste, but the charm still exists, and the aftertaste is endless. In front of me was a light cloud and a light wind.

Sixth course: "Tea without exceeding the rules"

Confucius said: "Seventy and do what you want, do not exceed the rules." ”

This means that when a person reaches seventy, no matter how freely he imagines and does what he wants, he will not exceed the rules. This is Confucius's deep understanding of his lifelong study, and it is also his profound summary of life. If everyone follows his philosophical ideas, they will find wisdom from Confucius.

This is "not exceeding the rules", not only to pay attention to the law of life, but also to agree with national laws and regulations and social rules. Although he has gray hair, he must be polite, calm and calm, which may be the best state of an elegant old man.

This is Nong Tianyi's summary of the tea ceremony of the Confucian sage.

This is exactly what it is: "Celebrity tea ceremony, traces of Confucius and Mencius; Virtue and heaven and earth, the road runs through the past and the present"!

Confucius said: "The benevolent man is happy with the mountain, and the wise man is happy with the water", the benevolent person is like the tranquility of the mountain, so he is happy with the mountain; The wise man is like the leap of water, so he is happy with water.

Whether it is drinking tea or tea ceremony, if you realize the joy of "benevolence and wisdom", you must have a high level of knowledge and moral integrity.

Lao Tzu said: "Cleanse the Xuanjian, can you not shelter"?

This means that the understanding of nature must be cleansed of mundane and distracting thoughts, have my own view, make the original mind clear, do not exist in vain, do not see each other, humble contemplation, and introspection of one's own nature, so that we can experience the mystical realm of nature with a selfless view.

This is also the natural way to taste tea. With such a mentality, you can float outside the object and reach a realm of vulgarity.

The elegance of tea is related to character and knowledge. The intensity of the aura is related to the state of mind.

Therefore, Wang Anshi said: "Tea is for use, which is equal to rice and salt, and cannot be without it for a day." "The process of drinking tea has gradually become a process of people's cultivation and personality improvement, which requires tea drinkers to have a certain taste and cultivation. The specific tea drinking environment also makes tea drinking a pleasant and nurturing aesthetic experience.

Natural beauty is simple, it is manifested in the self-exaltation of the sky, the self-thickness of the earth, the self-blooming of flowers, and the self-evidentness of the moon is to pay attention to a free and indifferent. This is manifested in the tea ceremony as simple and concise, pure willfulness, not artificial, and the meeting of the mind in a casual situation.

A good painting is often also a tea environment, such as Ni Yunlin's "Rong Knee Zhai Map", near the stone shore is written with a folded belt, a few withered trees, a lonely pavilion, a bay of lake, and a touch of distant mountains in the distance, extremely cold and lonely, the picture is natural, no traces, clean and elegant, not stained with dust and smoke. Isn't such a quiet and quiet place the artistic conception of meditation and tea tasting?

The tea ceremony, or painting ceremony, is a spiritual and cultural activity, and has nothing to do with utilitarianism. This state is relaxed, pleasant, and attentive.

People are thousands of years, tea is thousands of bones, people are in a variety of ways, and tea is full of rhyme.

Tea rhyme is the color, fragrance and taste of tea, the elegance and taste of tea, and the style and demeanor of tea, which is a kind of spiritual culture of tea ceremony.

All kinds of tea have their own taste, and tea has the unique charm of famous tea.

People who are good at tasting tea pay attention to appreciating the rhyme of tea, the rhyme of famous tea, and the rhyme is in essence.

The real tea rhyme is a leisurely heart, and its beauty is difficult to describe.

Qing Dynasty scholar Liang Zhangju once summed up the rhyme of tea with the words "fragrant, clear, sweet and lively" in "Returning to the Field", but the taste of tea, the aroma, the air is clear, mellow and sweet, and the freshness must be transmitted through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body through the peripheral sensual sensations, and finally with the soul to taste and appreciate, only then can it have a charm.

Tea rhyme is a solitary heart comprehension, because the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

If it is a solitary appreciation, tea can also be elegant.

In the dead of night, the mood is clean and leisurely, a cup in hand, the fragrance is overflowing, the tea is healthy, the tea is sullen, the shade is felt, and the warmth and coldness are self-aware.

When a person drinks tea, its intention is not only to quench thirst, but also to appreciate its color and fragrance, experience its bitter sweetness, and comprehend its elegance and clarity.

Drink alone, introspect and self-realize, drink the true nature of tea, and taste the flavors of life......

In the cold night, guests come to tea as wine, serve guests with tea, the atmosphere is warm and musical, the host and guest songs are full of meaning, showing the tea Li Liren, and the tea expresses the rhyme of tea.

Three or two good friends, make a pot of good tea, gossip about homely, the south and the north, the tea to a small rest, so that people "all six intestines are fragrant". It can really be said: although the teapot is small and deep like the sea, it is soaked in the water of three rivers and five lakes, and the tea tray is not big like the rivers and mountains, decorating the ancient and modern feelings.

You come with a cup, I go with a cup, cup after cup, dissolve righteousness into gratitude, turn clarity into tolerance, infiltrate harmony into sharing, and pour elegance into bonding.

This is what makes people proud, high-spirited, tea is not drunk and everyone is drunk, drink to the depths of love, the moon is hazy, the eyes are hazy, when shouting: "Where is the fairyland on earth, take this breeze and want to return"!
