Chapter 195: The Tea Ceremony
Master Lu Youcai is the head of a local organization of the guild (banmen) of the carpentry industry...... The inside of the hand is even more fascinating.
It is said that when Lu Youcai's master class got the axe, he saw no one and only the axe.
In the assessment of the upgrade from apprentice to master in the carpentry industry guild (class) in which Master Lu Youcai participated, Master Lu Youcai was in the class when he got an axe...... Others poured a bucket of water on Master Lu Youcai, who was getting an axe at the class gate.
The result?
When waiting for Master Lu Youcai to stop making axes in the class, others only saw that Master Lu Youcai was clean...... Not a drop of water!
Some people feel that Master Lu Youcai is clean...... If the water is not wet, there may be fraud, so Master Lu Youcai is clean...... Dripping water has become a ...... Indirect evidence of Master Lu Youcai's fraud in the assessment of the carpentry industry (class) in which Master Lu Youcai participated in the promotion from apprentice to master.
In order to prove his innocence, Master Lu Youcai had no choice but to ask the water poured by the axe in the assessment of the carpentry industry (class) in which he (that is, Master Lu Youcai) participated in the assessment of upgrading from apprentice to master, and the water poured with beans was replaced.
So, when Master Lu Youcai got the axe again, he still didn't see anyone, only the axe.
Others poured a scoop of beans on Master Lu Youcai, who was making an axe at the class gate.
The result?
When waiting for Master Lu Youcai to stop making axes in the class, others only saw that Master Lu Youcai was clean...... No water???
Of course not!
After all, when Master Lu Youcai got the axe again. Others poured a scoop of beans on Master Lu Youcai, who was getting an axe at the class gate, not a bucket of water.
In this way, it is natural that Master Lu Youcai does not get a drop of water on his body, and it does not show that Master Lu Youcai is extraordinary at all?
In this way, when Master Lu Youcai once again got the axe...... Still no one in sight, only the axe in sight...... Others poured a scoop of beans on Master Lu Youcai, who was making an axe at the class gate...... Wait for Master Lu Youcai to stop making axes in the class...... What will be the result when others see Master Lu Youcai????
When Master Lu Youcai got the axe again...... Wait for Master Lu Youcai to stop making axes in the class...... Others only saw that Master Lu Youcai was clean...... Dripping beans do not stick.
When Master Lu Youcai got the axe again...... Wait for Master Lu Youcai to stop making axes in the class...... Others only saw that Master Lu Youcai was clean...... The dripping beans are not sticky, but the ground near where Master Lu Youcai is standing is a mess.
I saw the ground near where Master Lu Youcai was standing...... There are beans everywhere.
But waiting for those who are responsible for the assessment of the carpentry industry in which Master Lu Youcai participated, the masters who are upgraded from apprentices to masters...... Put the vicinity of the position where Master Lu Youcai stood
How is Lu Youcai's kung fu with an axe?
Master Lu Youcai's kung fu is amazing, right?
When the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong found Master Lu Youcai, Master Lu Youcai was drinking tea with a group of brothers [Tea was first used for edible and medicinal purposes, and drinking was formed on the basis of edible and medicinal use. Chinese have used tea for a long time, dating back to the Shennong period, but the history of tea drinking is relatively later. Tea may have been drunk in local areas (the origin of tea plants and their fringe areas) in the pre-Qin period, but there is still a lack of written and archaeological support. Before the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally, tea was brought to the attention as a medicinal use. Ancient humans directly chewed the fresh leaves of the tea tree to absorb the tea juice and felt fragrant, clear and full of astringent pleasure. Over time, the chewing of tea has become a hobby of people. This stage can be said to be the prelude to tea drinking. With the evolution of human life, the habit of chewing tea raw changed to decoction. That is, after the fresh leaves are washed. Place in a clay pot and cook with water. Take it with decoction and leaves. Tea made by decoction. Although bitter, it has a rich taste, and the flavor and efficacy are superior. Over time, the habit of boiling and drinking is naturally developed, which is the beginning of tea as a drink. However, tea developed from medicinal use to daily drink, passing through the edible stage as an intermediate transition. That is, tea is used as a dish and boiled as a soup to drink. Once the tea leaves are cooked, they are eaten in harmony with meals. At this time, the purpose of using tea is to increase nutrition and detoxify as food. "Yanzi Spring and Autumn Period" records, "Yanzi Xiangjing Gong, eat the rice of demillet, and burn three and five eggs of tea and vegetables"; in "Erya", the word "bitter" annotates the cloud "leaves can be burned as soup and drink"; in ancient books such as "Tongjunlu", there are records of tea being boiled and eaten with cinnamon ginger and some spices. At this time, the method of using tea was taken a step forward, using the cooking techniques of the time, and the flavoring of tea soup was already noted. 】。
Drinking tea?
Could it be that in the era in which Dong Yong lived, there was already a tea ceremony [tea ceremony, which is the way to appreciate the beauty of tea. The tea ceremony is also regarded as an art of life for cooking and drinking tea, a life etiquette that uses tea as a medium, and a way of life that uses tea to cultivate one's body. It is a very beneficial and beautiful ritual by making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, enhancing friendship, cultivating virtue and learning etiquette. Drinking tea can calm the mind and calm the mind, help to cultivate sentiment and remove distracting thoughts, which is very in line with the Eastern philosophical thought of advocating "tranquility and tranquility", and is also in line with the "introspective practice" idea of Confucianism and Taoism. The spirit of tea ceremony is the core of tea culture and the soul of tea culture. Tao originated in China. At least before the Tang or Tang Dynasty, the Chinese first used tea as a way of self-cultivation in the world of the world, and there is such a record in the Tang Dynasty's "Feng Shi Wen Jian Ji": "The tea ceremony is great, and the princes and dynasties are all drinkers." This is the earliest extant record of the tea ceremony. Tang Luwen made a very vivid description of the elegant atmosphere of the tea banquet and the wonderful charm of tea tasting in the "Preface to the Tea Banquet on the Third Day of March". During the Tang and Song dynasties, people were very particular about the environment, etiquette, operation and other tea drinking rituals for drinking tea, and there were some conventions and rituals commonly known as the tea banquet. The role of tea in self-cultivation also has a very deep understanding, Song Huizong Zhao Ji is a tea lover, he believes that the fragrant taste of tea, can make people leisure and quiet, endless fun: "If the tea is a thing, good at the beauty of Ou Fujian, the spirit of Zhongshan and Chuan, the stagnation of the placket and stagnation, to the clear guide and, then the non-mediocre children can know." The middle is leisurely and clean, and the rhyme is high and quiet. In the second year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1191 AD), the Japanese monk Rongxi brought tea from China back to Japan, and since then Japan has begun to grow tea everywhere. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (1259 AD), Zen Master Nanpu Zhaoming of Japan came to Jingshan Temple in Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, China to learn scriptures, exchanged the tea banquet rituals of the temple, introduced the Chinese tea ceremony to Japan for the first time, and became the earliest propagator of the Chinese tea ceremony in Japan. Japan's "Examination of Similar Clusters" has a clear record of this: "The beginning of the tea ceremony, in the Zhengyuan Dynasty, the Chongfu Temple opened the mountain, Nanpu Zhaoming, and was introduced by the Song Dynasty. Japan's "Biography of the High Monks of the Dynasty" also has: "Nanpu Zhaoming returned from the Song Dynasty and brought the tea table and tea props to Chongfu Temple". It was not until the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era in Japan (AD 1536 ~ 1598, equivalent to the middle and late Ming Dynasty in China) that Sen no Rikyu became a Japanese tea ceremony monk, and only held high the banner of "tea ceremony", and summed up the four rules of tea ceremony: "harmony, respect, purity, and silence", obviously this basic theory was formed under the influence of the essence of Chinese tea ceremony, and its main ritual framework specifications still originated in China. The tea ceremony in China appeared very early, but it is a pity that although China put forward the concept of "tea ceremony" very early and continued to practice and explore in this field, it has not been able to develop this cause in the name of "tea ceremony" in a clear banner, nor has it standardized the traditional tea ceremony etiquette. The Chinese tea ceremony can be said to be more spiritual than formal. Some scholars believe that the necessary rituals are more important to the banner of the "tea ceremony", and that there is no ceremony just to claim to have a "tea ceremony", although it cannot be said that it is not okay, and it can be praised if there is tea, then it seems to be generalized, and in the end it is also "the way can be the way, the very way". Making tea is a very simple thing, and it is so simple that you only need two actions: put tea leaves and pour water. But in the tea ceremony, that set of rituals is too complicated or too elaborate, and ordinary people will definitely not make this little thing of daily life so complicated. 】?
Definitely...... Definitely...... Definitely, .......

Master Lu Youcai is not a Sven person after all, there is an adjective to describe the eating appearance of non-Sven people is called "drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big piece", and the adjective to describe the eating appearance of non-Sven people is "drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big piece"...... It is used to describe the image of non-Sven people drinking tea as "drinking tea in a big bowl", so Master Lu Youcai and his brothers drinking tea is "drinking tea in a big bowl".
