Write a poem for Chou Ying's "Writing Classics for Tea"

The painting in front of me is actually part of "writing scriptures for tea". There are only three people in the picture. Of course, the protagonist Zhao Mengfu, Buddhist monk Akimoto and a child with a tea bag are among them.

Zhao Mengfu was an imperial clan in the Song Dynasty, but he was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, which was inevitably criticized by people at that time. Those literati who value national integrity look down on Zhao Mengfu's mourning. Spiritual loneliness and pain made Zhao Mengfu wholeheartedly look to Buddha and seek sustenance in Buddhism and Taoism. He copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures in his life, and there are more than 80 volumes (volumes) circulating in the world. The Buddhist sutra he copied in this painting is the Maha Paramita Heart Sutra.

The background of the picture is a pine forest with dense branches and lush foliage. At first glance, this is a quiet Buddhist place. There is a stone in the forest, and Zhao Mengfu and monk Mingben are sitting on both sides. On the stone, the pen and ink have been set, and the paper seems to have just been spread out, ready to start writing. Zen master Ming Ben dressed in cassock, holding his chest with his hands, smiling serenely, quite a master; Zhao Mengfu looks relaxed and comfortable in his robe and big sleeves. Holding a brush, he tilted his head and looked at the children coming towards them, looking calm and natural. The child is bending over with a tea bag in his hand.

The story of exchanging scriptures for tea was very famous in the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that Zhao Mengfu copied the Heart Sutra and exchanged it with him in order to get the tea of the Ming monk. This is also a manifestation of literati.

The original painting has an inscription by Wen Peng, the son of Wen Zhiming:

Since Wang Xizhi exchanged his calligraphy for geese and Su Dongpo exchanged his calligraphy for meat, it has become an eternal legend. Then Zhao Mengfu (Song Xue) exchanged calligraphy for tea. Of course, it was "romantic and elegant". Whether it is equivalent or not is beyond their consideration. Free and easy, just be happy inside.

This poem is as follows:

Scarab turns wine into pleasure, and Panasonic copying classics is also elegant.

I want to put pen to paper and enjoy watching the children offer fragrant teas.
