The most classic tea poems are as follows:
1. "Two Bowls of Tea" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
After eating, he fell asleep and woke up with two bowls of tea.
Looking up at the shadow of the sun, it has turned to the southwest.
Appreciation: The general meaning of this poem is to take a nap after eating and get up to drink two bowls of tea. Looking up at the sun, it is setting. Happy people regret that life goes by too fast, while sad people think that life goes by so slowly. Those who are neither happy nor angry do not care about the length of time. Let everything go with nature. It expresses the author's pursuit and yearning for a leisurely life, and at the same time compares tea with life, expressing his open-minded feelings of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself.
2. "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
The spring is not old, the wind is gentle and the willows are slanting. Try to look up from the transcendent platform, half a ditch of spring water and a city full of flowers. Thousands of homes are covered in mist and rain.
Appreciation: Su Shi climbed to the Transcendental Terrace, looked at the spring mist and rain, and was moved by homesickness, so he wrote this work. This heroic and graceful poem expresses the poet's open-minded and detached mind through the spring scene and the complex changes in the author's emotions and demeanor. The last two sentences say: Don’t miss your hometown in front of old friends. Let's light a new fire to brew a cup of freshly picked tea. We should write poems and get drunk while our youth is still there.
3. "Ciyun Cao Fu sent to Heyuan to try roasting new sprouts" Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
The fairy mountain spirit grass is wet in the clouds, and the fragrant muscle powder is not evenly distributed after washing.
The bright moon comes to cast a light on Yuchuanzi, and the breeze blows through the spring of Wulin.
Appreciation: Every sentence in the poem is about beautiful women, and at the same time, every sentence is about beautiful tea. The beautiful tea is compared to a beautiful woman who is pure, pure and pure. The poem "Always good tea is like a beautiful woman" and the two lines "I want to compare the West Lake to the West" in another of his poems "Drinking on the Lake at First Sunny and Later Rain" form a wonderful couplet.
