Sima Xiangru (BC 179 ~ 1 18), a famous figure in the Western Han Dynasty, was an expert in the southwest during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He wrote Fan Jiang in 130 BC, which is an enlightening book. In his book, Sima Xiangru mentioned the names of some drugs at that time: "... Fei Lian, Huo Jun, Camellia oleifera, An Baili, Angelica dahurica, Acorus calamus, Glauber's salt, pepper and Cornus officinalis", and twenty kinds of medicinal materials. The important thing about "Back to the River Tablet" is that it lists the name of tea "You Cha" for the first time, and it is listed in an enlightenment book together with medicinal properties and other medicinal materials. The word "bian" is a special word called "tea" created by him according to the local sound of Ba people calling tea. The word "bian" is similar to the pronunciation and grass head; In order to let everyone know the correct pronunciation, the word "tea" is used for phonetic notation, which is the origin of the current tea sound. Before the Tang Dynasty, there were many materials that used the word "ugly" to represent the word tea, such as "Ginger, cinnamon and tea are ugly in Bashu", Wu used tea to replace wine, "ugly fu", "... treat it as tea or a day's Chou" and "Chou Yu". By the time Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Kai Yuan Zi Yin Yi", the word of tea had been determined, and after the popularization and influence of Lu Yu's "Tea Classic", the word and sound of tea were integrated, but its sound was still the ancient sound "Qu" called tea by Bananba people.
Tea: it is the most commonly used word to describe tea in ancient times. In ancient times, the word "tea" was a polysemous word, not specifically referring to tea. The word "tea" first appeared in the Book of Songs. There is a saying in The Book of Songs Ye Feng Gu Feng that "tea tastes bitter, but it is as sweet as a cup of tea". Later generations have different opinions on whether "tea" means "tea". It was the first time that Er Ya made it clear that the word "tea" contained the meaning of tea. Guo Pu, a scholar in Jin Dynasty, commented on Jia Kucha in Er Ya Shi Mu: "A tree is as small as a gardenia, which is born in winter (meaning evergreen) and its leaves can be used for cooking soup." This note is about the characteristics of tea trees. Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty also said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Tea is bitter tea." "Tea" is the word "tea" today.
Ming: It is the local sound of "tea" in Yunnan. Used to taste tea in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is an elegant name for tea.
Tang: It is an ancient word "tea", which comes from wood and refers to tea tree.
"Shrub grass" refers to tea harvested late.
Fu: This is an old saying about tea in western Sichuan.
The word "tea" first appeared in the classic Materia Medica of the Tang Dynasty. It evolved from the word "tea". In the book "Kai Yuan Zi Yin Yi" during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the word "tea" was reduced by one stroke and defined as a single word. At first, "tea" and "tea ceremony" were common, but when Cha Sheng Lu Yu wrote "Tea Classic", he always used the word "tea". Tea trees are woody plants. Subtract a picture from the original word "tea" and change "grain" into wood to make it more worthy of the name. This change is just right. Therefore, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the middle of the ninth century, people generally adopted the word "tea". In addition to the unified use of the word "tea" in modern times, the word "Ming" is sometimes used to describe tea, but it is completely different from the meaning of the so-called "late harvest for Ming" in history. When using the word "Ming", it is elegant and unique. Many, such as Tuocha, Minister of Disinfection, Yu Gan's, Quiet, Sleepless, Defanzi, etc.
Disinfectant: According to the story of China and Korea in the Tang Dynasty, in Tang Wuzong, Li Deyu said that Tianzhu Fengcha could eliminate the poison of wine and meat. He once ordered people to boil tea for a while, pour it into the meat and seal it with a silver box. After a while, the meat turned into water, so people called it a disinfectant. Cao Ye, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem about drinking tea: "Disinfection is not a minister, so is virtue."
Qing Feng emissary: According to the historical book Qing Louis, during the Five Dynasties, some people called tea the emissary of Qing Feng. In the tea song of Tang Dynasty poet Lu Quan, after drinking seven bowls of tea, he also said, "I feel a breeze blowing under my arm, Penglai Mountain, where Yuchuanzi is. I want to take this breeze home."
Yu Gan's family background: Li Yue, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, said in The Language of Wei Wen: "The olive world is called Yu Ganzi, and tea is also called Yu Ganzi. Because of the word Yi, tea was renamed Gan's to avoid confusion. " Hu Jiao, a poet of the Five Dynasties, also said in "Poetry of Drinking Tea": "Zhanya's old surname is Yu Gan."
Quiet: Su Yijian, a writer in the Song Dynasty, recorded "Ye Jia, whose name is quiet and quiet, is Mr. Yuchuan" in Four Books of the Study. A clear friend is called tea. "In the Tang Dynasty, Yao He tasted tea and said," Make friends in the bamboo and sit in the sunset in the wind. "
Don't stay up at night: Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "Sleep and see tea." Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, also wrote a poem praising the efficacy of tea in solving difficulties: "Make thirty cups of tea, regardless of taste, and give them to the monks who fight against sandman." Zhang Hua, a scholar in the Jin Dynasty, said in the Natural History: "Drinking real tea makes people sleep less, so tea is not called night waiting, but also beautiful." Hu Jiao of the Five Dynasties once praised in his tea-drinking poems: "A broken sleep will seal the night."
Deterrence: It is recorded in Tang Shi Supplement, a historical book of the Tang Dynasty: "Chang (the famous tea maker in the Tang Dynasty) went to the Western Ocean with him and was on the tea making account. Zamp asked, "What is this?" Say,' This is tea to relieve boredom and thirst. Drinking tea is annoying. Shi Jianwu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Tea is the way to wash away troubles, and wine is the way to forget your husband." Drinking tea can wash away the boredom in your heart and has always been praised.
