An ancient prose about tea

writing a pen to thank Meng for sending new tea

Lu Tong

It's late at night, and the army will knock on the door to surprise the Duke of Zhou.

A letter is sent by word of mouth, and the white silk is obliquely sealed with three seals.

I opened my mouth and saw the advice. I read 3 pieces of the moon group by hand.

It is said that when the New Year comes to the mountains, the stinging insects disturb the spring breeze.

the son of heaven must taste Yangxian tea, but the grass plants dare not blossom first.

Renfeng secretly produces pearls, and the golden buds are drawn in the spring first.

fresh-picked, roasted, sealed and wrapped, to the best and not extravagant.

when the supreme is in harmony with the maharaja, he will go to the mountain family for anything.

there are no ordinary guests in Chai Men, and the gauze hat halter is fried by itself.

the blue clouds attract the wind and blow constantly, and the white flowers float to coagulate the bowl surface.

a bowl of throat is moist, and two bowls are boring.

There are only five thousand volumes of words in three bowls.

four bowls of light sweat, and all the troubles in my life are scattered to my pores.

Five bowls of muscle and bone clear, and six bowls of fairy spirit.

I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the breeze blowing in my armpits.

Penglai Mountain, where is it? Yuchuanzi, take this breeze to go home.

The immortals on the mountain descend to the earth, and their position is lofty and sheltered from the wind and rain.

Ann learned that millions of lives have fallen on the top cliff and suffered hardships!

just ask the common people for advice, but do you still have to rest in the end?

Lu Tong, whose own name is Yuchuanzi. This poem is the Yuchuan tea song with the same name as Lu Yu's Tea Classic.

The whole poem can be divided into four paragraphs, and the third paragraph is the author's focus, as well as the focus and poetic sentiment of the whole poem. The fourth paragraph suddenly turned to plead for the poor, and turned cleanly, but still maintained the full and hearty momentum since the third paragraph.

the first two sentences: the knocking of the door of the tea delivery army general woke him up from a deep sleep when he was three feet high. The army general was sent by Meng's suggestion to deliver letters and new tea. He brought a pack of new tea sealed with white silk and marked with three mud seals. I read the letter, opened the envelope myself, and ordered 3 round tea cakes. Seal and seal to see the importance and sincerity of Meng's advice; Open the seal and read it by hand to see the author's treasure and love. Between the lines, there is mutual respect and sincere friendship between the two.

The second paragraph describes the picking and baking of tea, so as to set off the given tea as a treasure.

The first two sentences talk about the hardships of tea pickers. Three or four sentences: The Emperor wants to taste new tea, and the flowers bloom because they dare not tea first. Then it goes on to say that the emperor's "benevolence" wind made the tea tree sprout buds first, and took out the golden buds before the spring. The above four sentences focus on rendering the "treasure" of treasures. In the following four sentences, it is said that such treasures, which are carefully baked and tightly sealed, should have been enjoyed by the emperors and princes, but now they have come to this Shan Ye family. In the last exclamatory sentence, there is both irony and self-mockery.

the above two paragraphs are all described in a simple way, giving people a cordial feeling. Although the words "the son of heaven", "benevolence", "supreme" and "maharaja" appear in the poem, there is no flattery, but in the sentence "What's the matter", they distinguish themselves from them and classify themselves into the wild crowd. As a poet who is content in the mountains and has a humble position, he has a frank and indifferent mind. Lu Tong was addicted to tea all his life. For him, tea is not just a kind of appetite. It seems that tea has created a vast world for him. It seems that only in this world can his concern for the changes in the world be slightly pinned. The seven bowls of tea in the third paragraph are the uneven words that show his inner situation.

against Chai Men, there are no ordinary guests at home, which is a necessary environment required by a very simple and simple spiritual life. Only in this environment can we get rid of the disgusting secularity and live his spiritual life. Shampoo, here refers to the scarf used by ordinary people and so on. The simple and indifferent appearance of a halter and self-frying tea does not mean that he is calm inside. Only after reading the complete poem will you see his inner fiery side.

blue clouds refer to the color of tea; The wind refers to the boiling sound when frying tea. White flowers, foam floating when frying tea. In the eyes of tea addicts, frying tea is a wonderful enjoyment, and it is not just for literal modification here. The following goes all out to write about drinking tea, and the tea he drinks is like a spring rain, which makes his inner world lush. Here, he concentrated peculiar poetic sentiment and broke the stability of sentence patterns. In the text, it is "easy to explain" or "dangerous to enter the flat". The seven bowls are connected, such as beads walking on the Sakamoto, and the charm is smooth, and the more you enter, the more beautiful you are.

"One bowl of throat is moist, and two bowls are lonely and boring", which seems shallow and straight, but it is deep and sincere. The third bowl has entered the intestines of vegetarians, which is unbearable, but the search result of tea in the intestines is only 5, useless words! It seems to be a fantasy, but it makes people feel infinite.

the fourth bowl is also an important part of the seven bowls. Look at him. He writes easily, but his brushwork is heavy. My heart is stagnant, and my hair is screaming in the mountains, which makes people feel the pleasure of scratching at the strange itching place.

it is incredible that the pleasure of drinking tea is so high that you can't eat it. Although this is acceptable, it should also be said that this is the highest praise for Meng's advice on the treasures sent by this tea-drinking bosom friend. At the same time, from the structural point of view, the author should also use the feeling of being on cloud nine caused by this seventh bowl of tea to turn to the clearer idea of pleading for the people below. This is the "needle and thread" in the poem. Look how tightly he sewed the turning point.

Penglai Mountain is a fairy mountain on the sea. Lu Tong, who has been relegated to the world for a while, now wants to borrow the imaginary breeze caused by seven bowls of tea and return to Penglai. Because those high-ranking immortals don't know the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in the lower world, they want to go back to Penglai Mountain and ask Meng about the people in the lower world for advice, and ask them when they will get a chance to rest!

This poem is written freely and effortlessly. It is just right from conception, language, description to exaggeration. It can be strict and restrained in its prosperity. Lu Tong's unique and unique style has achieved perfect performance.
