1, the famous tea mentioned in the poem
There are many poems in Song Dynasty, some of which refer to the famous tea at that time. Some of these famous teas have been famous since the Tang Dynasty, such as Mengding tea, ancient bamboo and purple bamboo shoot tea, and some appeared in the Song Dynasty, such as Beiyuan tea.
Longfeng tea is the most famous tea in Song Dynasty, which is produced in Jianxi Valley of Fujian. For the poem, see Wang Yucheng's Dragon and Phoenix Tea. The title of dragon and phoenix is new, because it was given by the recent minister. When you cook, you want to build a stream in spring. The fragrance is fragrant and blue, and it is as round as Sanqiu Hao Yuelun. Cherish is not for taste, for fear of fatigue, except that you will support your old relatives.
Jiukeng Tea, one of the tribute teas in Tang Dynasty, was named Gong in Song Dynasty and was produced in Chun 'an County, Zhejiang Province. See Jiukeng Tea in Fan Zhongyan's poems.
Shuangjing Tea, one of the tribute teas at that time, was produced in xiushui county, Jiangxi. See Ouyang Xiu's poem "Double Wells for Tea":
Xijiang old stone, tea on the stone is like chicken feet
Poor wax is not as early as Joan Hinton, but Mr. Shuangjingya has a hundred herbs.
White hair follicles are raised with red and blue gauze and 10 kilograms of tea.
Chang 'an is rich and expensive, boasting for three days.
Baoyun is not good at casting every day, seeking the new and abandoning the old.
I'm afraid the gentleman has Changde, and the treasure will not change with the Ming Dynasty.
You can't see the dragon and phoenix in Jianxi, and you won't change the taste of the past.
My taste in old age is thin, and the only thing I like is drinking tea.
2. Send tea and thank the coffee table.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty occasionally sent tribute tea to ministers, but in the Song Dynasty, it became very popular to send tea. Ministers who were given tea by the emperor often wrote poems or articles to thank the emperor for his gift, which was called "thank tea table". For example, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan and others have written such a "thank tea table", which shows Liu Yuxi's "Thank New Tea Table for Wu Zhongcheng". Related verses can be seen in the following examples.
Yu Wang's "Dragon and Phoenix Tea": "Like a dragon and phoenix, it is new, and it is given to a close minister."
Cai Xiang's "Beiyuan Tea": "Dedicated to the prohibition of Dan, especially for the recent ministers."
Mei Yaochen's Qibao Tea: "Sip it, be grateful, and don't praise it as usual."
3, borrow tea to express your feelings, worry about the country and the people.
In the nearly 100 years before the Jingkang Revolution in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains region experienced economic prosperity. At that time, tea fights and tea banquets prevailed, so tea poems and ci poems mostly focused on meeting friends, singing duets, touching the scene and expressing feelings. The most representative is Ouyang Xiu's poem "Shuangjing Tea":
Xijiang old stone, tea on the stone is like chicken feet
Poor wax is not cold, spring comes early, and Mr. Shuangjing Wool has a hundred herbs.
White hair follicle with red and blue gauze and ten Hu tea to raise one or two buds.
Chang 'an is rich and expensive, boasting for three days.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the construction of the south of the Yangtze River, many contents appeared in tea poems and tea ci, among which the most representative ones were Lu You and Yang Wanli's tea poems. Lu You said in the poem Twelve Miscellaneous Poems in Late Autumn:
What's the point of buying wine? I am ashamed to talk about my career.
Chat with Hongsi from Hengpu and make Mengshan purple bamboo shoot tea by yourself.
The poem reflects that the author lived in poverty in his later years and had no money to buy wine, so he had to use tea instead of wine and grind tea himself.
In Yang Wanli's "Cooking Double Well Tea with Liuyiquan", there is a song like this:
When the sun is casting and building a stream, going home at sunset will be a dream.
When will you go back to Wang Teng Pavilion, watch the wind furnace and cook by yourself?
