Literature records of tea longevity
According to the above-mentioned records in the Book of Tea by Wang Wenxi in the Five Dynasties, tea is described as a "medicine for all diseases", which has the function of rejuvenation, somewhat mysterious. However, it is human nature that tea can cure diseases. Emperor Wendi of Sui had a headache and the treatment was ineffective. After listening to the monk's suggestion to drink tea, it is rumored that everyone is scrambling to decoct. Drinking tea has a long life, and it is also recorded in the official history. According to the records of Xuanzong in the old Tang Dynasty, a monk in his thirties/kloc-0 came to Luoyang. Xuanzong asked him, "What medicine can you take to live so long?" The monk replied, "I don't know medicine, but I like to drink fragrant tea." I just want tea everywhere. " The secret of longevity is drinking tea. Su Dongpo left a famous poem: "Why does Di Wei want a pill and make all seven bowls of tea in Lutong?" It is said that Wei Wendi got the elixir of life when he visited the Western Hills. After taking it, he gave birth to wings. This kind of thing is too mysterious Instead of counting on the fairy to give medicine, it is better to make your own tea like Lu Tong and drink seven bowls of tea, so that "the wind blows under your arm" will be true. In short, Po Weng said that it is better to drink tea than to pray for immortality and longevity.
