Chapter 70 Birds Have a Way

Talking about Taoism and Taoism in such a place made my uncle and I feel a little compatible, because this academy is simply too Chinese to learn, and every building and every detail shows an ancient oriental culture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The uncle said that in fact, the cultural development of Taoism is inseparable from the development of China as a whole.

In the history of Taoism, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was an important turning period, during this period, Taoism due to the transformation of the clan class, underwent a major change, from the early primitive and naïve Wudou rice Taoist development to a complete and mature religion, from the main spread of the Taoist group to the official recognition of the orthodox religion, at that time, the south of China, is the main area of Taoist change.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism have flourished, and a large number of new classics are needed to spread their teachings. Buddhist scriptures can be obtained from India, while Taoism can only transform the books and scriptures of the previous generations. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the new Taoist scriptures were the most important in the three groups of Taoist scriptures, namely the "Three Emperor Sutra", "Lingbao Sutra" and "Shangqing Sutra". That is, the three-hole scripture.

The Three Emperors Sutra was burned in the Yuan Dynasty and is now lost. In the "Daozang" of the "Eight Emperors of the Cave God Wonderful Essence Sutra" retains a lot of Taoism of the Three Emperors Sutra, which has a total of the best ninety-two charms, these runes represent some heavenly gods and earths, immortal officials and heavenly generals, the monarch of the five mountains and four blasphemy, and the hidden surnames of the soul and evil spirits. If a cultivator swallows or wears it according to the Dharma book, he can summon the gods and serve the ghosts. It can be said to be the most direct and effective way to learn Taoist charms.

"Five Mountains True Shape Map" is a seal-like plate Taoist priest wears, and the gods and spirits are welcomed. The Lingbao Sutra is also a set of Taoist scriptures spread by the Ge family. Among them, the three volumes of "Lingbao Five Symbolic Sequences" are included in the "Daozang" font number. The content is a book of health and immortality. The upper volume is the art of contemplating and convincing qi, the middle volume is the prescription of taking herbs and trees, and the lower volume is the talisman of wearing or swallowing and the method of becoming an immortal.

Speaking of which, this Taoism is based on thought to construct Taoist cultivation techniques, which is a common feature of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Lingbao scriptures. Therefore, the Lingbao school was formed, which paid attention to fasting, science and education, and persuaded people to be kind, which are the two significant characteristics of the Lingbao school. The formation of this faction is closely related to Taoist priests such as Lu Jingxiu and Song Wenming in the Southern Dynasty.

The Shangqing Jing is a group of important Taoist classics that appeared after the middle of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The advent and dissemination of the Shangqing Sutra created a new sect within Taoism, the Maoshan Shangqing School, and Tao Hongjing became the representative of the Shangqing School in the Southern Dynasty. In the existing "Shangqing Sutra", such as Jindan to eat, guide the qi, wear the charm to cast Jane, Dunjia hidden scene, step on the gang cloth fight, run high to the sun and the moon, eat and absorb the clouds, sing praises, summon the gods and subdue the demons, prohibit the tiger and wolf, and so on. "Thirty-nine Chapters of the Great Cave True Scripture", "The Female One Jade Examination Five Old Treasure Sutras", and "Taishang Suling Cave Xuanda Wonderful Sutra" are known as the three wonders of the Taoist. Its content is the most characteristic of the art of contemplation in front of the gods, that is, the art of alchemy of the gods. Those who practice spells today must learn the art of contemplation. It shows that there are five gods in the human body, the liver hides the soul, the lungs hide the soul, the heart hides the spirit, the spleen hides the will, the kidney hides the essence, and the five gods leave when the five treasures are injured. At present, the "Great Cave Jade Sutra" included in the "Orthodox Daozang" Cave True Department is the Southern Song Dynasty Maoshan Biography.

Lu Jingxiu was born in 406 AD, in the second year of Emperor An of Jin. He was a famous Taoist priest in the early Southern Song Dynasty. In order to meet the needs of the gate lord clan class at that time, the Jiangnan Tianshi Taoist organization was rectified and integrated with the immortal Taoism, becoming a generation of Taoist masters in the Southern Dynasty. He also became a master of the new Taoism characterized by the three-hole scriptures. The Taoist Jiao ritual was established and perfected. He was the first to create a classification method for Taoist texts that had a profound impact on the history of Taoism. That is, the Taoist book is divided into three caves (Dong Zhen, Dong Xuan, Dong Shen) and four auxiliary (Taixuan, Taiping, Taiqing, Zhengyi) seven major categories. The Three Caves and Four Auxiliaries are not only a classification of Taoist books, but also contain the meaning of distinguishing the grades of Taoist scriptures and arranging the order of Taoist priests. For example, cultivating the Taiqing Law can only become immortals, those who cultivate spiritual treasures can become real, and those who cultivate the Qingqing can become holy.

Tao Hongjing was born in 456 AD. After the Southern Dynasties of the Song, Qi and Liang dynasties. At that time, he was called the prime minister of the mountains and a Taoist scholar. During the Southern Dynasties, dignitaries and dignitaries worshipped under him, which shows the prominent status at that time. Tao Hongjing rigorously applied health preservation, alchemy, and medicine to practice in his actual research and operation, which laid the foundation for the final formation of the Shangqing School of Taoism. He built Maoshan (present-day Yuanjuqu Mountain in southern Jiangsu) into the base and center of the Shangqing sect of Taoism. Therefore, the Shangqing faction was later also called the Maoshan sect. Mrs. Feng Wei or Yang Xi is the first generation of grandmasters, with the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" as the main line, worshipping the Yuan Shi Tianzun as the supreme god, and also studying the Lingbao, the Three Emperors and the Heavenly Master's Taoist Sutra and Law Record. The formation of the Maoshan sect marked the completion of the transformation of the old Heavenly Master Taoist group by the Jiangnan Shi Taoists since Ge Hong with immortal Taoism and the establishment of an official orthodox Taoism. Hongjing also perfected and established the Taoist immortal system, arranging seats for the immortals. The formation of the three Qing Zun gods said. That is, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun said the Shangqing Sutra; Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun said Lingbao Sutra; Taiqing Daozun said the Three Emperors Sutra. During this period, Taoism introduced the concept of hell. In the north, there is Luo Yu Mountain, and there are six ghost and god palaces. Tao Hongjing unified and summarized the intricate immortal system and integrated a "True Spirit Position Karma Map". The names of nearly 700 gods and goddesses that appeared in Taoism are listed one by one in the form of a map. The purpose is to make the cultivator understand that there is also a clear hierarchical order in the surreal world of immortals and ghosts. During this period, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism were all in full swing, and in order to expand their respective social influences and compete for their status as authentic ideology and culture, the contradictions and struggles between Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism intensified, and the three parties engaged in war of words and debates. Despite this, the reason why the three parties were always able to reconcile with each other was that all three were acceptable to the feudal scholars and could be compatible with the scholars.

The Taoist reform of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, from Ge Hong to Tao Hongjing, basically came to an end. After the transformation of this period, Taoism has developed relatively complete doctrinal theories and classic documents, established and perfected its own scientific precepts and relatively unified church organizations, enriched and developed cultivation techniques, formed a unique belief system for immortals, expanded its influence among the ruling class and ordinary people, and completed the evolution process from a folk religion to an official orthodox religion. After the Western Jin Dynasty, in the territory of the Northern Dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms ruled by ethnic minorities, there were also incidents of Taoism transforming the old Heavenly Master Dao, forming Kou Qian's New Heavenly Master Dao and Louguan Taoist School.

In the early days of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism developed at the same time, but because of the beginning of the reign of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, listening to the words of Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao, and with the progress of the unification war of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the newly conquered Guanzhong was a place where Buddhism flourished. In the first month of 444 AD, Emperor Taiwu ordered the destruction of the Buddha and killed all the disciples of the Buddha. In September of the same year, there was an incident of killing the high-ranking monk Xuangao. After Cui Hao was killed due to his loss of power, Kou Qian's death, to 548 AD, after the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Taoism and Buddhism failed in the debate, the Northern Qi regime destroyed Taoism, advocated Buddhism, since then the new Heavenly Master Taoist group has disappeared, and the popular Taoist sects in the Sui and Tang dynasties are mainly the Shangqing faction in the south and the Louguan Taoism that arose in Guanzhong in the later period of the Northern Dynasties.

Louguan Road is centered on Louguan at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi Province and spreads in Guanzhong area. Since the time of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Louguan School was formally formed as representatives of Liang Chen, Wang Jia, Wang Daoyi, Chen Baochi, Li Shunxing, etc. This faction was deeply influenced by the Shangqing faction in the south. In the process of its prosperity and development, famous Taoist priests such as Chen Baochi, Wei Jie, Wang Yan, and Yan Da played an important role. During the Tang Dynasty, Louguandao became the royal Taoist school with the same treatment as the Shangqing School, with the integration of the characteristics of the north and the south, and formed the characteristics of emphasizing practicality rather than righteousness and reasoning in academics. Although the Louguan School was deeply influenced by the Shangqing School in the south, it inherited the tradition of the Heavenly Master Tao in the north in terms of mythological Laozi. On the relationship between Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, the debate was unprecedentedly fierce. Although Taoism was abolished, Taoism basically became an important part of the feudal superstructure and ideology and culture during this period.

By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially the Tang dynasty, it was one of the prosperous periods of the all-round development of Taoism. Because Emperor Wen of Sui was raised by nuns when he was a child, he claimed that he was a Buddhist scholar and attached great importance to Buddhism. The order of the three religions is that Buddha comes first, Tao comes second, and Confucianism comes last. During the reign of the Tang Emperor for nearly 300 years, Taoism has always been supported and worshipped, ranking first among the three religions. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongbin and Zhong Liquan became the ancestors of the later Neidan faction. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, Lao Zhuang's works, which have not received much attention from Taoism, have been included in the Taoist Taixuan Radical Sutra, which has become the most widely circulated and influential Taoist scripture in the Tang Dynasty. Taoism established a fairly systematic system of Taoist philosophy during the Tang Dynasty. The way of re-mysticism is: so there is always nothing, and you want to see its wonder; There are often, and I want to see the subtlety. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same as the mysteries, the mysteries and the mysteries, and the doors of all the wonders. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. The so-called Tao nature refers to the unchanging nature of all beings endowed with the Tao or the same Tao. All beings are the Tao, there are all beings in the Tao, and everything that is tangible contains the Tao nature.

Cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal is the fundamental purpose of Taoist cultivation, and it is also the core of Taoist religious concepts. The changes in the Taoist idea of immortals also reflect the historical evolution of China's feudal society. The Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty was a period of turmoil in Chinese history, which caused changes in the content of Taoism and changes in the composition of Taoist priests. At this time, there are roughly the following categories of people who worship the Tao and seek immortals: one is hidden in the mountains and does not seek to be heard, such as Pan Shizheng in the early Tang Dynasty. The second is to study the arts, the integrity of the fidelity, or the alchemy of the medicine. Such as Liu Shang (after King Jing of Zhongshan). The third is the strange art of body feelings, escaping from the corpse, mixing with the light, and hiding in the market. Such as Sun Deng. The social turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties added two more types of people to the ranks of cultivators: one of them was a hopeless career and retreated to the mountains and forests to find sustenance in Taoism. Some resigned and fled from the world, such people include Luo Yinzhi, Zheng Yunsuo, etc. The other group of people specialize in Taoist magic, in order to survive and protect themselves in troubled times, or to help the poor and weak. These two types of Taoist figures appeared in the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, and one of the representatives who had the greatest influence on the later period was Lu Dongbin, who was rumored to be an immortal. After the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, people's pursuit of Taoism was more with practical purposes, and the Taoist priests of Confucianism and Taoism invisibly infiltrated Taoism into more Confucianism. The influence of this result prepared the conditions for the formation of the Quanzhen School of Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Its immortal thought is: the idea that immortals can become shaken. The second is the birth of the gods and the salvation of the gods, and the immortals become immortals, and the immortals are not high in the opening realm, and the immortals can save the people from suffering in the next life. This also affected the process of transformation from Taoist Jindan thought to Neidan thought. In the Quanzhen Sect, the immortals are no longer far away from the world and beyond the mortal world, but phantom characters who can change and ascend and live forever. There is less magical color of the gods and more color of human nature.

The integration of the three religions was the general trend of the development of religious thought in the Tang and Song dynasties. This idea is also expressed in the belief of Lü Dongbin, which was formed in the Song Dynasty. Due to the extensive influence of Lü Dongbin's faith in the Song Dynasty, the northern and southern sects of the Quanzhen Sect formed in the Song Dynasty absorbed their beliefs into their own sects. Zhang Boduan, the founder of the Southern Sect of the Quanzhen Sect, and Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Northern Sect, established their teacher-teacher relationship with Lu Dongbin. The Inner Dan Sect has all been taken up by the Quanzhen Sect, and the Zhengyi Sect is left with only the traditional ghost worship and spell magic. The legend of the Eight Immortals also appeared during this period.

The evolution of Taoist immortal thought is, in fact, a kind of self-renewal. The emergence of Quanzhen Sect in the Song Dynasty was the result of this renewal, and the Quanzhen Sect was able to establish a Taoist jungle, so that Taoism began to have a unified religious organization and a clear lineage of Dharma transmission, and Taoism was basically divided into two major sects, Zhengyi and Quanzhen. Since then, it has ended the scattered and chaotic existence of Taoism in the previous generation.

During the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, Taoism entered a new stage of development and reform for more than 400 years. During this period, various social contradictions were quite acute, and ethnic contradictions were particularly prominent. The prosperity and development of Taoism are deeply related to the national contradictions throughout this era.

After the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was another prosperous period for Taoism in China. The Song Dynasty was also a period of external and internal troubles in Chinese history, with as many as 113 peasant uprisings, and in this social background, Taoism in the Song Dynasty not only did not break out in religious social riots, but also steadily prospered, which was closely related to the attitude of the Song Dynasty emperor towards Taoism and the Taoist management of the Song government. In addition, new gods were introduced in large numbers during this period. Mazu went overseas from Fuzhou, Emperor Wenchang and so on, and new sects were established, such as Maoshan Mountain, Hesoap Mountain, and Longhu Mountain's Three Mountains Fulu, which was the place where the Song Dynasty stipulated the recording and became the three major sects of the Fulu School. In general, the Song Dynasty believed in Taoism in all dynasties, which played a positive role in promoting the development of Taoism. In the centralized government, the Central Daolu Institute and the local Taoist Department were set up, the management of Taoism was strengthened, a series of rules and regulations for the internal management of the palace were established, and the approval and restriction on the establishment of the palace were strengthened. The Provincial Crown Official System was established. The Song Dynasty was the most complex and complete period of the Daoguan official system. The requirements for entering the Tao are stipulated: the first is to meet the age, the second is the consent of the parents, the third is not to violate the law and customs, and the fourth is to be a teacher. It also stipulates the hierarchy of Taoism, that is, the rank system of the purple clothed master. It is stipulated that real people are only used for gods, Kinmen Yuke, Gaoshi refers to people with noble aspirations, and refiners refer to ordinary Taoist priests. The name of the division is the title given to the monk by the government on behalf of the emperor, it has the political characteristics of the gift, and the name of the road is another name for the person who learns the Tao or is good, and takes the title at will.

This Taoist thought is endless, my uncle and I walked and said, unconsciously came to the front yard, far away you can hear a bird calling, this bird is too familiar to me, when my uncle and I saw this bird, we were stunned, not the thrush or lark we imagined, but a beautiful cage with an unknown bird, but the bird's spiritual head can be strong enough, non-stop, it called me and brought me to those free life.

Speaking of this bird raising, it is the old Beijing in the past, and the big teahouse is a club for bird keepers, which is well known. There are two types of birds: one is the singing bird, which is based on the premise of good song, such as thrush, blue chin, red chin, lark, yellow finch and so on. These birds are not only good at singing, but also have outstanding feathers. As for cages, water jars and other categories, all of them are exquisite, and all of them are sophisticated. Bird keepers, get up early in the morning, lift their cages, cover them with blue cloth, go out of the wilderness, walk more than ten miles, and call them slippery birds. Then enter the city, and go to the big teahouse where you often go, and hang the cage on the bird stand. Out of the tea leaves, so that the hall to brew it. Then he took out the snuff box and poured a little into the emerald cigarette dish. Sit less. Then dust off his shoes with a cloth, breathe water to clean his face, sit on a half-basket, bend his feet, and put them on his knees, which is the most suitable shape. So he tasted tea and sniffed cigarettes, and talked about his bird history with his bird friends. It is said that someone's red chin, a certain grandfather wants to trade it with thirteen Taibao cars, and a certain Jin does not agree. It is also called someone's thrush, strange species, like snow, for the life of the unseen, eight foreheads to a thousand gold for it, a certain wish with, but after the bid, not for sale, moa has ominous, is to endure the pain to cut love Yunyun. All these and the like belong to the singing birds. The song of the bird is divided into clean mouth and dirty mouth. The sound of the purifier is loud, and there are many sets, and there is no sound of jealousy. Snai was elected. Those with dirty mouths, whose birds have been dyed with jealous sounds, are worthless. All the birds that are good at singing, every time they follow the sound of their habits. Those who live on the land learn the sound of land birds, and those who are close to the water have the language of water birds. However, those who raise birds, contrary to their habits, abstain from nature, make land birds sing water, make water birds sing land, adjust drills, and work very hard. Therefore, the success of a bird, the person who raises it does not know how much effort has been spent. Singing birds also need to be trained, and the language is cloudy: "Although the trail must be considerable." The so-called observable does not have to be in the technical aspect. Whether it is considerable or not, it depends on whether there are rules or not. If there are rules, it will be considerable, and if it is messy, it will not be considerable. Bird society, there are a lot of rules to abide by, just like a new bird, regardless of its thrush, lark, red and blue chin, in order to make the bird's mouth clean, skills up, must make the advanced bird, slowly guided. This kind of leadership is called a crushing bird, and it is also called catchy. When it catches, the advanced bird is like a teacher, and the backward bird is like a disciple. The advanced bird opens its fan, drums its wings and sings its proud work. The new bird is sealed with a cloth cover and hung on the side of the master's bird. The teacher's voice is counted, and the disciple listens to it in the fan, and understands it. After many days, the new bird can respond to its voice. And then with the training of human skills, this bird began to become a top grade. However, the bird's teacher is also the same as the person's seeking teacher and friend, and he will be respectful and respectful to the teacher and friend, and he will be rewarded with good gifts. Otherwise, there is no one to teach. Pity also! These kinds of rituals, birds can not do, are the responsibility of bird breeding. And the bird we see now should belong to this category, because its call is full of music.

The second type is the technical birds, such people were seen from time to time in the big teahouses in the past. Gai's acting skills are over, and he must go to the tea house to rest. This kind of bird is represented by the sycamore, and the twin-billed chaffinch has no choice but to call the horn. Sycamore does not know its real name, commonly known as Wutong. I thought it should be a magpie carving. Although there are no such words in the word book, it is not impossible to make up these two words. The magpie eagle is shaped, the head is black, the back is gray, the wings are black and there are white feathers, the abdomen is grayish-white, the tail is black, there are white feathers in between, the beak is large, yellow, and there are black spots. Those with many dark spots are the most childish. Claw wax color. Weigh six taels to eight taels. Because of the acting skills, those with light physique are precious. Most of the skills performed by the technical birds are the skills of the pills, which are commonly known as "playing bullets". The size of the two pills made of teeth, such as the size of the tongzi, the bird man holds the bird in the palm, first throws its small pill, and the bird flies and holds it. If a new bird enters, the first pill will come out, and the second pill must be continued. If the bird has become in the advanced, the first pill will come out, but the second pill will not come out for a long time. Si Shi also, the bird of the first pill, hovers around the birdman, hovers and flies, in order to be unhurried, and the shape is leisurely. The height is not more than a foot to the ground, and it circles for a week, and its periphery will be enlarged once. A bird of many years of experience, it can fly up to thirteen plates. The birdman acquiesced to the number, and the number was sufficient, and he raised his hand to throw the second pill. The second pill is high and wonderful, and the human eye cannot see it, and the bird puffs up its wings and looks up to bear its pill. So the second pill was in his mouth, and he still flew to the master's palm and spit out his pill. If you say: If you are fortunate not to be dishonored, the master will bait a small pockmark to reward him. Rest less and throw it away. The audience was amazed. The proud cover of the birdman can be seen.

In the past, there were many birds in the teahouse, whether they were listening to calls or playing skills, and no matter what kind of bird, the choice of birds was very important. The nature of the magpie eagle is very gentle, although the new catcher, the wild is not very large. Shot blasting is often on the street, pedestrians, cars and horses, and onlookers are very numerous, and the magpie carving is not frightened. The most strange thing, when the first pill of the magpie carving title hovers and flies, every time it passes through the pedestrians, and its circle is getting bigger and bigger, you can still see the owner, pay attention to the second pill on the throw, non-smart and patient, you can't do it. And the value of magpie carving, so higher than other birds, is also here.

Ordinary lovers of magpie carving, every self-tuning, there are four or five heads, rich families, then hire a bird master to raise, called the Ba style. At that time, the magpie carving could not but enter the art, but it was only a preliminary coach. Experienced magpie carving, more than the years, there are more than ten years of raising, smell the turntable when it plays, increase a circle every year, so the old magpie carving is the most valuable. The bird of acting is probably in September and October of the lunar calendar, and after this, it will not be repeated. On weekdays, it is framed with ornate carved wooden sticks, and when the bird sheds its hair, it must be put into the cage. The feeding method of hair removal is particularly difficult, and those who do not have special skills dare not speak lightly about caged birds. After the feathers are replaced, compared with the birds in the mountains and forests, they are particularly shiny, and they are obtained. However, this cage for raising birds is also really exquisite. Bird cages are essential tools for raising birds, but there are also differences between the fine and the coarse. Seiko products, there is a cage to a number of gold, attached products, particularly exquisite, such as food jars and jugs, the style is different, the most precious one made by the official kiln, where there is any glaze in the porcelain, the water jar is also indispensable, Ji red, Ji blue, parrot green, apple green, grape water, baby face, etc., are a glaze also. Blue and white ground, blue and white plus purple, plain three color, bean three color, brocade open light, so that soft and hard colorful, everything, and extremely fine. In the early years, it was necessary for bird lovers, so it was also extremely valuable. Since the bird lost its momentum, such utensils, to useless, once abandoned, after the price of porcelain rose sharply, such playthings, there are very good products, outsiders like to buy it, so it is discussed with ancient porcelain, the best is not easy to get. There is a pair of large food jars in the remaining collection, blue and white with purple, as a goose-oval, the greasy porcelain fetus, the warmth of the glaze, in the ordinary porcelain, it is rare. If you use fine wood as a frame and put it on your desk, you can use it as a water, but it is useless. Nowadays, few people can do this, and the birds mentioned above are all common in large teahouses. The above-mentioned idlers are perennial customers of the big teahouse. With this kind of customer, the big teahouse is enough to maintain its business, not to mention the people at all levels who have to eat in the big teahouse every day on an errand and duty. For example, Tianhuixuan's extra-large tea restaurant, the food of tens of millions of people, can be done aggressively. The most strange one, the guests order tea, at the same time dozens of products, the hall in turn loud on the stove, do not move the time to come, to no mistakes. This kind of magic skill is only found in the big teahouse, but unfortunately it has become a thing of the past, and the latecomers can no longer be able to do this. My uncle was talking to me about raising birds, and I came to the front yard, where the owner had already put a tea set, is this to let you drink tea? Thinking of this, I was really a little thirsty, and as soon as I sat down and opened the teapot, there was a strange fragrance wafting in.
