Xie Zhanxin, formerly known as Xie Jianxin, is a native of Yueqing, Zhejiang, and a freelance calligrapher and painter.
Xie Zhanxin has been passionate about the art of calligraphy and painting since he was a child. He studied Tang Kaili and Mustard Seed Garden when he was young, and later became proficient in official script, statues and epitaphs. He has been working hard for more than 40 years, and his works have been collected by memorial halls and museums many times, and have received praise and praise from many parties.
When I first saw this work, "Cai Gen Tan" came to my mind: "Hiding skill in clumsiness, using obscurity to make it clear, combining clarity with turbidity, using bending as extension, this is one pot that truly touches the world, and three hidden things Cave."?
The poems in the work are as follows:
Over the years, Chinese tea culture has been rooted in the long-standing Chinese civilization and absorbed the rich and rich traditions of the nation. It integrates the strengths of religion, philosophy, medicine, rhythm, music theory, painting, aesthetics, architecture and other fields, and has developed into a precious heritage in our country's cultural treasure house, shining brightly in the corridor of history. When it comes to the ancestor of the Chinese tea industry, everyone will definitely say Lu Yu. He is also known as the God of Tea, the Sage of Tea, the Immortal of Tea, and the Patriarch of Tea. However, we believe that tea industry, tea science, tea culture and tea ceremony are two different concepts or subject directions. The ancestor of Chinese tea industry and tea science should definitely be Lu Yu, but the ancestor of Chinese tea culture and tea ceremony should be another strange person. He can be said to be on par with Lu Yu, or even a greater and more elegant unknown hero. He is the great poet who was only known as the Poet Monk and the Tea Monk before, and a generation of eminent Buddhist monks and masters - Jiao Ran.
Every time I drink tea with Teacher Xie Zhanxin, I will gain something. This time I learned about "replacing wine with tea". Teacher Xie said: Since you don't know how to drink, you often use tea instead of wine. This sentence The earliest promoter of Buddhism was also the Buddhist master Jiao Ran.
Viewing the calligraphy and paintings of Teacher Xie Zhanxin and tasting the tea grown on Yandang Mountain are truly beautiful things in life.
Thoughts are quiet in the clear, and changes are observed in the fragrance.
Some tea reaches your mouth, some tea reaches your stomach, and some tea reaches your bones.
Tasting tea is difficult for the mouth, but easy for the heart.
In fact, instead of meditating on tea and admiring paintings, I am clearly reflecting on myself.
A hundred years of life is like the smoke of tea rising and extinguishing. Some people leave a wisp of fragrance, while others drift away in the wind.
The tranquility is like tea, fleeting, not to mention the prosperity like flowers.
