Chapter 291: Concubine Wen is obsessed with the tea ceremony.
"My lord, what is your current official position? Does the imperial court attach importance to literary talents? ”
"If you go back to my mother, I'm not going to drive in Fuzhou."
"Don't marry?" When Concubine Wen heard this, she couldn't stop laughing, and said, "This official name is so strange, I almost made the adult a beauty by mistake." Mr. and Mrs. Lu Zhi also laughed.
"Don't explain it to the mother yet." Madame Huang urged.
"Niangniang, don't drive, this is the official name, the full name is 'don't drive to engage in history', also known as 'don't drive to engage'. Hanzhi is the adjutant of the state assassin history. Because of its high status, when going out on patrol, it is not the same car as the history of the thorn, do not take a car, so the name, the early Tang Dynasty changed the county to another car, Gaozong changed the other car to the long history, and the other to the royal family for the other car, and then abandoned infrequently. The general judgment of the Song states, the position seems to be a different driving, and later generations are accustomed to taking other driving as a general judgment. ”
"Oh! Thank you for your advice, it turns out that Master Su has also done a similar official position! This official position is not small! How did you spend the last three years? Have you had a similar experience with a bachelor who is a scholar who has been in the midst of suffering? ”
"Thank you for your concern, the first month of the second year of Shaosheng (1095), when I was 50 years old, out of Luoyang, into Kuimen, on April 23 to Pengshui, living in Pengshui County Kaiyuan Temple Yisi Hall. Because the imperial court did not give me a fortune, I had to ask the presiding monk of Kaiyuan Temple for two vacant land, and then ask the local farmers for two vegetable gardens, so that I could make a living by cultivating land and growing vegetables. Later, I moved to live in an old house next to Kaiyuan Temple and on the shore of the Wujiang River, and since then I have called myself 'Fu Weng'. In his spare time, he writes books and builds a church to give lectures. In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will take my mother to visit the traces of the 'ink washing pool' and 'Wanjuantang' that I left behind. I often visit Pengshui Mowei Mountain, Yunding Temple, Yushan and other places, and I particularly appreciate the folk song "Bamboo Branch Ci", which was very popular in Pengshui at that time, and praised: "Lychee Yin becomes Tang Tang Love, and Bamboo Branch Song is to think about the ballad". In the "Bamboo Branch Words" I created, there is a clumsy sentence of "Mo Yanyuan outside the ghost gate, and all the families are brothers in the four seas", I don't know if the mother likes it? ”
"So talented! Great! Lu Zhi. Virtuous, the valley too! Honestly, fame is not on the head of a lazy person, and there is a romance in the suffering! Concubine Wen exclaimed enthusiastically.
"My lord, have you left behind inscription treasures for future generations?"
"Niangniang's heart is as fine as silk, and I also built a pavilion with others on the top of the cliff in the south of Wujiang River in Pengshui County for pedestrians to rest. On the day of Xuancheng, it coincided with the banyan tree beside the cliff full of branches, and at the same time I got the news that the lady and her youngest son had arrived in Fuzhou and wanted to come to reunite, so I took the word "green yin" in Du Mu's poem "Sigh Flowers" "The wind blows all the crimson, and the green leaves become yin full of branches", and the inscription of this Xuan is "Green Yin Xuan". I often gather here with local scribes, overlooking the river by the railing, and reciting poems and papers. I hope that Luyin Xuan has become an eternal memorial that I have left to Wujiang. ”
"This is a natural thing, people have left a name, and geese have left a song. What's more, you are still a celebrity? ”
"Prizes! Empress. Seeing that the two of them had a good conversation, the lady was very happy, and hurriedly went into the house to make tea.
Tasting the fragrant tea, Concubine Wen asked, "My lord, what kind of tea is this?" ”
In the Song Dynasty, tea became as important as salt and iron, and played an important role in the central finance of the Song Dynasty. I once heard: 'The Patriarch of Ganlu appeared from the Western Han Dynasty, the son of the Wu family, whose legal name is 'Lizhen', came from Lingbiao and lived in Mengshan to plant seven tea plants to relieve hunger and thirst. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Beijing division drought, the second phase of the Qin Dynasty, when the edict begged for rain, the division entered the set to save the drought, less Qing, and Peize Datong. Someone once raised the Tea and Horse Division to set up a 'tea field' in the famous mountain and Baizhang successively, and did its best to 'win' the county's tea. In the 4th year of Shenzong Yuanfeng (1081 AD), the emperor also issued an edict: "Exclusively use the famous camellia of Yazhou for easy horses". ”
"Thank you for your teaching, Chong Zhen Pinli really cultivated tea, so fateful!"
"Niangniang, you naturally have a relationship with it!"
"Why?" Concubine Wen stared at Lu Zhi in surprise.
"Because, as far as a cup of tea is concerned, people in Buddhism see Zen, people in Taoism see qi, Confucian people see etiquette, and businessmen see profit. Niangniang is soft-boned and naturally heroic, isn't it related to it? ”
"Sir, so eloquent! Can you please tell me about tea culture? What is its close relationship with the doctors? ”
"The Song Dynasty was not only the heyday of the development of tea culture, but also the golden age of literati and doctors. Tea and literati have an inextricable bond, on the one hand, the Song Dynasty scholars were first-class writers, artists, on the other hand, they were famous tea guests, tea culture was more prosperous due to the respect of scholars, and the personality of Song Dynasty scholars was also sublimated in the process of tea tasting. The scholars and doctors of the Celestial Empire did not like the cumbersome and luxurious way of drinking tea of the court nobles, but advocated nature, and emphasized the harmony and unity of tea activities and nature, so as to achieve the unity of heaven and man, and the realm of forgetting things and me. For example, Zhao Xiang wrote, "The monk knocks on the fire in the stone, and the bottle draws the bamboo root spring." "Brewing tea by knocking stones on fire has its own simple and natural aesthetic taste. Song Zhen wrote: 'Crossing the rock and meeting the stone, looking for water to the source. The sound of nature is in the pine dock, and the clouds are overflowing with tea cups. Miyagi is only ten miles, and the guide is not urging each other. The author worked tirelessly, looking for water to sencha, quietly feeling the mellow aroma of tea in nature, listening to the sound of nature, and lingering. ”
"What other poet wrote a good tea ceremony?"
"Fan Zhongyan wrote, 'The green dust flies on the side of the gold, and the snow rises in the heart of the purple jade Ou." ”
"My lord, have you written it?"
"The old man in "Man Tingfang? Yongcha wrote, "Grinding deep and fine, Qiongrui is warm and smoking." 'While tasting tea, we are also savoring the bitter life, abandoning sorrow in the bitter life, and gaining inner peace and indifference. I also like 'Tea Shijia Muying, its fragrance is heavenly. Fang is worthy of Du Yu, and it is clear to cover the pepper chrysanthemum. For the Song Dynasty scholars, adding ginger and salt to the tea would destroy the natural aroma of the tea, and adding sheep fat like the northern minorities was even more vulgar. Unreasonable. ”
"My lord, I remember that Lu Yu wrote a book of "The Book of Tea" in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
He said that in the book, he explained the benefits of tea: "Tea is for use, the taste is cold, and for drinking, it is the most suitable for people who are thrifty and virtuous." If you are hot and thirsty, depressed, have a headache, have astringent eyes, irritated limbs, and feel uncomfortable, you can compete with Daigo and nectar. ”
"So, who else wrote such poems in the Song Dynasty that impressed you?"
"A cup of eternal awakening eyes, the grass and trees are full of faith." Zeng Gong, "When you wash your lungs and liver, you will be like a cloud." In addition, Dongpo adults drink tea, love tea and love to write about tea are beautiful things that women and children know, and it is also based on his deep understanding of the function of tea. In the sixth year of Xining (A.D. l073), when he was appointed as a general judge in Hangzhou, one day, he took a leave of absence due to illness, and traveled alone to the temples of Jingci, Nanping, Huizhao and Xiaozhaoqing on the lake, and went to Gushan to pay homage to Huiqin Zen Master that night. On this day, he drank seven bowls of tea, and felt that his body was light and refreshed, and his illness had been cured, so he composed a poem "Visiting the Buddha's House, Drinking Seven Teas a Day, and Playing Books and Diligent Teachers": "Showing illness Vimo Yuan is not sick, and he has forgotten his home at home. Why do you need Emperor Wei to take a pill, and Lu Tong has seven bowls of tea. Because tea has the effect of refreshing, brightening the eyes, clearing heat, sobering up, lightening the body, and prolonging life. This is in line with the condensation province of our Song Dynasty scholars. The literati of the dynasty also liked to be quiet and not like to move, introverted, conservative, and more rational, they always kept a clear head and opposed indulgence and willfulness. It was in such a faint fragrance of tea and a strong bookish atmosphere that the scholars of the Song Dynasty collected their feelings and reflected on themselves. ”
"However, I like both to be quiet and like to move, if people can be divided into three parts, it can be said that static accounts for two percent, and movement can account for one percent, I think this kind of life is more energetic." Concubine Wen said.
"No wonder Niangniang is so angry with a tiger and a leopard, a phoenix, and a dragon and horse, and a talented person."
"Prizes! I would like to encourage you with adults! ”
"Oh! I almost forgot to ask 'Lu Tong's Seven Bowls of Tea' if a certain historical and cultural celebrity was involved? (Lu Tong, Tong, the sound is the same as "same".) )
"Good question, Niangniang, the poem written by Lu Tong in the Tang Dynasty is called "Tea Drinking Song", and I only remember the exquisite sentences: 'One bowl of throat kiss moist, two bowls of loneliness. Three bowls of dry intestines, only 5,000 volumes of words. Four bowls of light sweat, life injustice, all to the pores. Five bowls of muscles and bones, six bowls of fairies. Seven bowls can't be eaten, but the two armpits are used to the breeze. ’”
"Thank you, sir, for your advice! I think Mr. must be an outstanding representative of the scholars, is he also fond of tea? Concubine Wen praised.
"Compared to the bachelor, it's still a little inferior."
"I think it's comparable, whether it's poetry or the study of the tea ceremony, it's all equal!"
"How can it be compared? You don't hear the poetry of the bachelor: 'Sen Ran is lovely, not slow, the bones are clear and the flesh is greasy and upright. He anthropomorphically compares tea to a high-flying man with a 'light flavor, innocent and lovely', which is the first of its kind in the ages! ”
"Talent is a brilliant gem, and if you persistently decorate it with humility and gold edge, it will be even more dazzling! Sir, you did it, so that the little sister admires and admires! ”
