In Jia Pingwa's view, drinking tea is not called drinking tea, but eating tea because the word "eating" increases the importance of tea in life.
Buddhism has a quip that "seven bowls love delicious food, and one pot is really interesting." A million ounces is better than tea. "This appropriately expressed Jia Pingwa's love for tea. He even posted a pair of couplets in his study: "If you have tea, please entertain guests, but if you have nothing to turn over. "It can be seen that tea is the best enjoyment for him, because tea can purify the soul.
In the late 1970s, Jia Pingwa went to study in Northwest University from his hometown and "ate" tea for the first time. At that time, drinking tea was a public patent and a status symbol. One day in the summer vacation, Jia Pingwa's father brought home "luxury" tea for the first time in his life and made tea in a particularly large enamel jar.
Jia Pingwa did not feel the beauty of drinking tea for the first time, but gradually became addicted to it.
After graduating from college, Jia Pingwa went to work in a publishing house in Xi 'an. "Making a pot of tea, smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper backwards" has become his daily work.
One day, Lao Zhao in the office poured a pot of tea, suddenly asked the tea to come, and pinched a little tea for Jia Pingwa to soak. However, Lao Zhao began to gossip about people in the office, saying that who always likes to drink his tea takes advantage of him. Jia Pingwa felt a twinge of chills.
Untie the knot of "owing tea" and embark on the road of no return to love tea. On one occasion, Jia Pingwa went to the countryside as an editor of a publishing house and lived in the office of the local propaganda department at night. Make tea for the propaganda officer when you are idle.
As soon as you drink tea, it gets out of hand. Jia Pingwa was afraid that the propagandist would know that he had finished his tea and left early the next morning. But he thinks that "consciously drinking like a thief is the best tea in my life."
Jia Pingwa later learned from a friend that the "best tea" he drank was southern Shaanxi green tea. Southern Shaanxi includes Shangluo, Hanzhong and Ankang, but Ankang produces the most tea. He began to "ask for tea" from Ankang friends. "The clothes in each season are very simple, and the meals every day are extremely rough, but the tea must be green tea in southern Shaanxi. In the years when the standard of living was generally low, I felt a little aristocratic. "
Jia Pingwa's calligraphy is also famous, but he loves ink so much that he usually doesn't give people inscriptions. But there is only one exception. He often inscribes for teahouses and tea factories, just because he loves tea like life, and he "surrenders" in front of tea. In Jia Pingwa's view, "people have to make many friends in their lives. Friends come in batches, and those who can persist for the longest time are those who take tea as their friends. " So he has a lot of "tea customers". "My friends all know that my family has good tea, so I come here every three to five."
How enjoyable and chic it is to eat tea and spring, which is probably the reason why Jia Pingwa can't create without tea all the year round.
Jia Pingwa is a prolific writer and cannot do without two things, one is cigarettes and the other is tea. "When I write, cigarettes are smoked one by one, and tea is to be drunk one by one. Smoke can touch my thoughts in the smoke color, but the teacup has to put down the pen to add water, so many good sentences are broken. " Creation needs inspiration most, and inspiration is fleeting, most afraid of being broken. Therefore, Jia Pingwa, who loves tea, urgently needs to find a tea set that meets her needs.
The bitter thing is that people nowadays pay attention to drinking tea, and shops sell small cups. Where can I find a mug? On October/October/5th of a certain year/KLOC-0, Jia Pingwa discovered a big teacup that could make Brother Mu a treasure, "the heart of sudden plunder". So at the request of Brother Mu, Jia Pingwa wrote a word as a transaction in exchange for a big teacup he remembered! You know, this word is worth 1000 yuan, which shows your desire for tea.
Good tea with a good cup is full of ideas.
Jia Pingwa lives in Xi 'an and often likes to have tea and chat with friends in the circle. One day, everyone agreed to go to Zixing's house for tea. Zixing is a famous poet in the literary world.
Tea has been eaten for a long time, pot after pot, and time flies. Zixing asked how the tea was, and everyone said it was tasteless. In fact, Zixing wanted to lead everyone to say that he invited everyone to drink Longjing, a famous tea, which was embarrassing for a long time.
If it's good, why is it tasteless?
Tasteless and delicious. I'm afraid this is the highest level of tea.
This is the story of Jia Pingwa eating tea. Reading it as freely and indifferently as speaking gives us a simple and pleasant life and dilutes the materialized, anxious and impetuous world.
Beauty, life is like tea,
A cup of tea, a book,
Proper shade, cold protection and warmth,
I am carefree in this world.
