? Tea is accompanied by literati and tea culture. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, tea and Lu Yu formed the world's first tea monograph, Tea Classic, which is famous all over the world and will last forever. Tea companion Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher and poet, has the "Three Unique Pavilion" (designed by Lu Yu, inscribed with a plaque by Yan Zhenqing, and inscribed with poems. The four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty (Su Shi, Cai Xiang, Huang Tingjian and Mi Fei) all loved tea and were good at tea ceremony. Su Shi's Ye Jiachuan is written for tea, with high interest, profound connotation and excellent literary talent, which is the spirit of tea people's entry into WTO. Cai Xiang's "Drinking Tea" is famous in history, although it is only over 1000 words. In particular, combining the art of calligraphy with the spread of tea culture, his Notes on Bicha is regarded as the treasure of the ink forest. Zhu, a scholar in Dali period, lived in Wuyishan, and wrote many philosophical tea poems, taking tea as the basis, taking tea as the bright and beautiful, taking tea as the logic, and not stressing vanity and frugality:
Tea tree thousand chapters in small garden
Have a taste before germination.
Although there is no smoke on the top of the mountain
There is also a fragrant source.
? Tea and Taoism go hand in hand, forming the tea ceremony. Tao Te Ching, a book handed down from generation to generation, is moralized and infinite, and all laws return to the Sect and rivers flow into the sea. The philosophical concept of the unity of man and nature is integrated into the tea culture, and it has entered the source of life of respecting tranquility, selflessness, nature and returning to nature. Full of great love for nature and strong desire to be close to nature, tea culture is innate, and the passion of "feeling in the sky" and the wonderful feeling of "feeling more mysterious" are admirable. Therefore, the tea ceremony has three levels: material, behavior and spirit. It is a "precious wood" given by God. Tea activities pay attention to the beauty of nature, simplicity, movement like clouds, quietness like rocks, laughter like spring flowers, and words like mountain springs. Follow fate, not artificial. The mood is quiet, calm and inaction. Thoughts diffuse with the fragrance of tea, and the artistic conception is as elegant as tea rhyme, entering the realm of ecstasy. Wang Zhongyang's disciple Danyangzi wrote: One stick of tea, two flags of tea, don't give up fame and fortune, never sleep for a job. Wuwei tea, natural tea, God-given meditation Taoism, sleepless work.
? When tea is combined with Zen, there will be Zen tea blindly. Buddhism is boundless, but it takes the four truths of "suffering, gathering, extinction and Taoism" as the general outline, and the suffering of tea comes first. Zen tea is to explore the concept of life and death, to achieve complete understanding, to get rid of suffering and to break the "bitter truth". Zen is static, flowers are laughing, words are silent, and the message is clear. Hongren, the fifth ancestor, emphasized that "living in the valley of God, staying away from the hustle and bustle, nourishing the mountains and forests, and making long remarks vulgar." Ask people to realize the Tao from ordinary life through meditation. This is to let go, let go of mental fatigue, steal a long time, relax the mood, relax the soul, let the soul blend into the faint tea fragrance, cleanse the soul and make noise. Let the soul be ethereal and serene, just like playing a poem by Ren Jushi:
Put it down, put it down,
What are you worried about?
Be an idle person
Talking and laughing, the moon is big.
Zen tea is detached, and the discussion is over. Thank you for your reading, attention and appreciation. Bow! )
