Seven bowls of tea songs, which are familiar to tea lovers, is the work of Lu Tong, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It is the most wonderful part of the poem, depicting the state of drinking seven cups of tea and describing the physical and mental feelings brought by tea.
Lu Tong, named Yuchuanzi, is a direct descendant of Lu, one of the "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty". Although he was born in a noble family, his family is very poor. He was withdrawn, honest and frank, indifferent to fame and fortune, especially disgusted with the ugliness of officialdom. He did not enter scientific research, lived in seclusion in Shan Ye and studied hard. Not seduced by high officials, he refused his career and became famous for poor Geng Jie. Hearing about Lu Tong's talent, the imperial court twice asked him to be an admonition officer (five official posts), but he hated the autocratic power of the imperial eunuch, despised the dirty officialdom and refused to accept orders. As he said in the poem "Winter", "I don't know the emperor in the world, but I don't know the princes in the world." In particular, Han Yu loved Lutong's talent and noble moral integrity, and helped Lutong from time to time in Henan. Therefore, Lu Tong spent his whole life with Han Yu, Zhang Ji, Meng Jiao and Jia Dao, and became an important figure in Han Meng's poetry school in Tang Dynasty.
Lu Tong is the author of Tea Spectrum, and is honored as "tea fairy" by the world. This "Seven Bowls of Tea Songs" is widely celebrated in Japan, and it has evolved into a Japanese tea ceremony that "moistens the throat, breaks loneliness, searches the heart, lightens sweat, clears bones and muscles, receives the immortal spirit and draws the breeze". The Japanese respect Lutong very much and often compare it with "Cha Sheng" Lu Yu.
I thought Lutong was a recluse living in the wild, and his life would have a happy ending. But I didn't want to, but I died unexpectedly.
Lu Tong is a commoner, but because of his noble birth and brilliant talent, he still frequents the official residences of celebrities. Unexpectedly, when the dew changed, Lu Tong was just having dinner with several aides of Prime Minister Wang Ya in Xiangfu's library, so he stayed in Xiangfu, and officers and men came to catch him. Lu Tong said, "I am from Lushan Mountain and have no enmity with others. What crime? " The official said, "Since you are a mountain man, isn't it a crime to come to the Prime Minister's Office?" In a hurry, Lutong himself couldn't explain clearly, but he suffered from manna together and was implicated in the fatal disaster.
My good friend Jia Dao wrote a poem "Crying for Lutong": "I have been dressed in white for forty years. The emperor has not summoned, who will chase? "
Lutong's poems reflect the corrupt political affairs and people's livelihood at that time, and have a strange style, similar to prose. "The poems of the Tang Dynasty are completely unique, but the poems of the general annals are unique, and the language is still very strange, which is difficult for readers to understand." "Later, he followed suit and became a master." Existing poems 103, including the poems of Yuchuanzi.
A famous writer and historian in the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Haowen criticized Lu Tong in the thirteenth poem of Thirty Poems: "There is a royal road leading to eternal writing. Who is like Lu Yuchuan? True books don't enter the eyes of today, and children teach ghost paintings. " Influenced by Han Yu, Lutong's poems are too curious and bizarre. Yuan Haowen denied this poetic style and thought that this kind of creation was a "ghost painting symbol". This may also be the reason why non-poetry lovers don't know much about Lutong, except for the seven bowls of tea songs, although there are 103 songs.
Behind the calligraphy works is Lu Tong's poem "Start writing, Xie Meng remonstrates and sends new tea". Let us enjoy it together!
Xie Meng suggested sending new tea.
When the sun is high and sleepy, the army will knock at the door, which will surprise Duke Zhou.
Word-of-mouth suggests sending letters, and white silk seals three letters obliquely.
I opened my mouth and saw the suggestion. I read 300 articles about the Moon Group.
I heard that the new year has entered the mountains, and the stinging insects have stirred up the spring breeze.
The son of heaven must taste Yangxian tea, and the grass plants dare not open first.
Benevolence is dark, and golden buds are drawn in spring.
Picking fresh, baking, sealing and packaging are perfect but not extravagant.
In addition to the Supreme, I will join the princes, and I will go to the Shan clan for anything.
Chai Men is anti-vulgar, and the halter of the gauze hat is self-fried and self-eaten.
Yun Lan led the wind to blow constantly, and white flowers floated on the surface.
One bowl moistens the throat, two bowls are lonely.
Three bowls of heartbroken, only five thousand words.
Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores.
Five bowls of bones and muscles are clear, and six bowls are immortal.
I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the wind blowing under my arm.
Penglai Mountain, where is it?
Yuchuanzi, take this breeze and go home.
Immortals descended from the mountains, occupying a lofty position and being isolated from the wind and rain.
Ann learned that millions of lives fell on the cliff, and it was miserable!
I asked the whole people for advice, but must I have a rest in the end?
The pinyin of "Yan": bè i lé i; The definition is bud. This poem refers to the bud of tea.
Yangxian tea: produced in Yixing, Jiangsu, it is famous for its clear soup, fragrance and mellow taste. It has a long history and enjoys a high reputation since ancient times. It is not only favored by royalty, but also by literati. "Tianzi has never tasted Yangxian tea, and Baicao dare not open it first." Zizun Tea in Yangxian County, Yixing has always been as famous as Longjing Tea in Hangzhou and Biluochun in Suzhou, and has been listed as a tribute.
? Su Shi loves tea. When Xi Ning was a general judge in Hangzhou for six years, one day, he asked for leave due to illness and went to visit Kyocera, Nanping, Zhao Hui, Zhu Qing, Xiao Zhao and other temples on the lake alone. He visited Master Qin Hui in Gushan at night. On this day, he drank seven bowls of tea in succession, feeling quite light, refreshed and well, so he made a decision to "visit Buddhist temples, drink seven cups of tea a day and study hard": it shows that Wei Moyuan is not ill, and he has forgotten his home at home. There is no need for Di Wei to take a pill and drink seven bowls of tea in Lutong.
