Nong Tianyi is a caring person, and he compiled the stories of tea history, tea affairs and tea-related people into a book for lectures. At the same time, it is convenient for oneself to study and figure out with one's heart, which is nothing more than to improve one's tea culture cultivation. He collectively referred to them as the "Cup of Sea Landscapes".

Everyone jokingly said, "There is a water disaster today."

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, tea has a pronoun called "water disaster", "evil" as a hardship, difficult explanation, drinking tea has become "water disaster", why not?

It turns out that in the era of Emperor Sima Zhen of the Jin Hui Dynasty (291-306), there was a man named Wang Meng who drank tea very well, and anyone who passed by his door would be invited to drink it for a while, and some had to sacrifice their lives to accompany him for the sake of face. Tea lovers can say that those who don't love tea are simply miserable, and if they don't drink, they are afraid of offending the master, so they have to frown and drink.

Over time, as soon as the scholars heard that "Wang Meng has been invited", they quipped: "Today is going to be a flood again!" ”

Everyone joked, "Gongcha can be an official."

When Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian first ascended the throne, he had a nightmare dreaming that the gods and men would replace his skull, and since then he has often had headaches, misery, and helplessness.

Later, he met a monk and told him, "There are tea trees in the mountains, and picking tea leaves to boil and drink them can cure Your Majesty's headaches." ”

Yang Jian sent someone to collect tea, and it worked, so he rewarded the monk heavily. Since then, Yang Jian has developed the habit of drinking tea, and his courtiers have also learned to drink tea.

I heard that the emperor liked it, so many people voted for it and paid tribute to the emperor. Those who offer tea can be promoted to official positions and make a fortune.

The people of the time ridiculed: "You have studied "Spring and Autumn" and "Zhou Yi", it is better to send a cart of tea to the emperor, and you can immediately be crowned an official and promoted to a knight." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, another emperor said, "Your life is not as good as his."

Legend has it that in the early years of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang liked to take a walk after dinner, and walked to Guozijian for a day, just sat down, the chef offered fragrant tea, Zhu Yuanzhang was thirsty after drinking, drank it all, felt that this tea was mellow and delicious, and drank a cup again, and felt relaxed and happy, fluttering like a fairy.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, he ordered someone to reward the cook with a crown belt. This incident alarmed the Guozi prisoners, and everyone complained, and one of them deliberately chanted poetry in the courtyard: "Under the cold window for ten years, what a cup of tea!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed secretly and replied wittily: "He is not as good as you, your life is not as good as him!" ”

The order prohibits, otherwise, the smuggling of tea will be beheaded.

The tea law of the Ming Dynasty was strict, according to the "Ming History ▪ Food and Goods Journal": "Those who neglect to supervise the exit of the country and the pass of the law and silk tea will be executed by Ling Chi." On the side of the Gaixi Domain, don't do all the fan, the people hold the tea for a living, so the strict law is forbidden to prohibit it, the reward of the easy horse, the death of the people, the fence of China, and the left arm of the Huns, which is not a legal theory. ”

The Ming Dynasty used the tea trade to consolidate the border defense was an effective national policy. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1398), Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and his son-in-law Ouyang Lun served as the captain, who was not a small official. He had no fear, and thought: "I can't punish the doctor, not to mention that the emperor is his father-in-law!" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about this, he was furious, and he didn't care whether his daughter was widowed or not, and ordered Ouyang Lun to be sentenced to death and ordered him to commit suicide.

Ouyang Lun was the first person in history to have his head cut off for smuggling tea.

Pi Guangye is fond of tea and takes tea as a "bitter master".

Pi Guangye, the son of the famous poet Pi Rixiu in the Tang Dynasty, can write poetry at the age of ten, loves tea, often writes poems, and has the style of his father. Skin light industry beauty instrument, good at talking, see the fairy among the people. Wu Yue Tianfu worshiped the prime minister in the second year, because he loved tea and took tea as a "bitter master", and the court spread his habits.

One day, Pi Guangye's cousin invited him to taste the new mandarin orange and held a banquet to entertain him. On that day, the dignitaries of the imperial court gathered, and the feast was very rich. But after Pi Guangye came to the table, he didn't care about the wine in Zunzhong, but he was very anxious for tea. So I had to put in a big pot of tea. Pi Guangye impromptu chanted: "I haven't seen the Gan Xin clan, so I will welcome the bitter master first." ”

During the banquet, everyone laughed and said: This teacher is solid and high, but it is difficult to be hungry. Tea is known as the "bitter master", and it is derived from this.

Let's take a look at these celebrities' tea-related stories.

According to legend, "drink tea Su and live to be 100 years old".

Lu Yu recorded in the "Art Biography" quoted in the "Seven Things of the Book of Tea": "The people of Dunhuang are single-handed, not afraid of cold and heat, often take small stones, and the medicine they take has the gas of pine, cinnamon, and honey, and the tea they drink is only." Chasu is a drink made from tea leaves and the Chinese herb perilla.

Shan Dao Kaiben surnamed Meng, is the Jin Dynasty, good seclusion, practice Bigu, seven years later, he gradually reached the winter does not know the cold, the summer does not know the heat, legend says that he does not lie day and night, can be more than 700 miles. It is said that he later moved to Zhaode Temple in Linzhang County, Henan Province, and set up a meditation room to sit in meditation and drink tea to drive away sleep. Later, he entered Luofu Mountain, Guangdong Province and died at the age of more than 100.

However, how to take the "little stones" of Daokai and how to mix the tea Su, in fact, future generations have no way of knowing.

Overkill, only allowed to "treat guests with tea fruits".

Jin Lu Na, once served as Wu Xing Taishou, tired of moving Shangshu Ling, history records that he "rarely has a clean conduct", and "diligent and honest, always unswerving", from the youth has pursued honest and honest conduct, to the extent of perseverance.

Because corruption was rampant in the court at that time, it was impossible to curb it, and he intended to set up a positive example and take a good lead, so it was a bit overkill to be a clean official, and he didn't even want the country's money, which was of course because he had some family background, but at the same time, it also showed that he really wanted to correct the unhealthy trends in society.

Once, the dignitary Xie An was going to visit Lu Na, and Lu Na did not make special preparations as usual. His nephew Lu Li took matters into his own hands and secretly purchased extravagant delicacies from the mountains and seas. When Xie An came, Lu Na only sent tea and fruits. The nephew made a big deal and offered a distinguished guest.

After the guest left, Lu Na scolded Lu Yu angrily: "You can't learn from me to do this, forget it, why do you want to stain my integrity?" And beat his nephew forty boards and taught him a hard lesson. Later generations have taken this as an example of "tea has frugality".

The origin of "Zhuge Liang sacrificial tea".

After Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain to help Liu Bei assist the Han family. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes were divided. Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister, had the great cause of recovering the Han dynasty on his head, and he had to personally inquire about every detail, and soon he became ill from hard work and tired of tuberculosis. Due to his busy government affairs, Zhuge Liang had no intention of recuperating, and his body was weakening day by day.

One night, Zhuge Liang dreamed of a mysterious old man, who pointed out a cure for himself, that is, to take the young leaves of the thousand-year-old tea tree in Dingjun Mountain and roast it for brewing. So Zhuge Liang made tea according to the instructions in the dream, and after a few days, the disease gradually recovered, his brain reacted faster, became smarter, and he didn't feel tired when he was working on government affairs.

In order to thank the tea tree for its kindness, Zhuge Liang personally went to the tea mountain to set up an altar to worship the tea tree's work in removing diseases and wisdom.
