● In the Tang Dynasty, the fashion of drinking tea gradually spread, and more and more people drank tea, and the way of drinking tea was more exquisite. Tea has become an essential item for many poets and writers to brew and accumulate inspiration. As a result, a large number of tea-drinking poems have been produced, among which the most widely circulated ones are. Lu Tong, the first poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Writing a Pen to Thank Meng for Persuading to Send New Tea", also known as "Tea Song".
Tang Dynasty poet Lu Tong was born in Chuanzi and Fanyang. When he was young, he lived in seclusion in Shaoshi Mountain. His family is poor. He studies hard and doesn't want to be an official. He once wrote poems about lunar eclipse, mocking the autocracy of eunuchs at that time, which attracted eunuchs' disgust. During the "Ganlu Change", he and the Prime Minister Wang Ya were killed at the same time because he stayed at home. He was only about 40 when he died.
Lu Tong loves tea, and the poem "Do as you say, send new tea" is an impromptu work after he tasted the new tea given to him by his friends. He expressed his thoughts directly and finished in one breath.
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. Renfeng produces dark pearl buds, and then spring produces golden buds. Picking fresh, baking, sealing and packaging are perfect and extravagant. The sovereign is not a vassal, so if you have anything to do, go to the Shan clan. Chai Men is anti-vulgar, and the shamao faucet blows itself up and eats itself. Yun Lan led the wind to blow constantly, and white flowers floated on the surface.
A bowl of throat kiss moistens. Two bowls of broken loneliness. Three bowls of heartbroken, only five thousand words. Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores. Five bowls without tendons and bones. Six bowls of faeries. I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the wind blowing under my arm.
Lianlai Mountain, where is it? Yuchuanzi went home with this custom. Immortals descended from the mountains, occupying a lofty position and being isolated from wind and rain. Ann learned that tens of billions of lives fell off the cliff and were in great pain. The memorandum solicited opinions from the whole people, but did it finally get along?
The content of this poem can be divided into three parts. At the beginning, the new tea suggested by Xie bo was extremely rare and should only be enjoyed by emperors and nobles. At home in Shan Ye, I seemed flattered: I heard about the feeling of cooking and drinking tea. Because tea tastes good, I ate seven bowls in a row. When I ate the seventh bowl, I felt a breeze blowing under my arm, which was so romantic. Finally, suddenly, I turned to my superiors who pleaded for the people and hoped to be spoiled. While enjoying this gourmet tea, I know how many tea farmers have risked their lives to go over mountains and mountains to pick it. The poet expects the hard life of the working people to be happy and one day he can catch his breath. It can be seen that the original intention of the poet to write this "Tea Song" is not only to brag about the miraculous effect of tea, but also to deeply sympathize with tea farmers.
Tea is fragrant, but tea farmers in the Tang Dynasty were industrious, and the tribute tea system was a heavy shackle put on tea farmers by the imperial court. Gao Yuan, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, was directly responsible for supervising the production of ancient bamboo tribute tea during his tenure as the satrap of Huzhou. He witnessed the hardships of tea farmers who endured the hunger and cold in early spring, men abandoned farming, women abandoned weaving, climbed mountains and cliffs, and picked new buds. He also directly witnessed the evil deeds of officials at all levels rushing to pay for tea, and wrote a five-character poem "The Poetry of Chashan" sadly. Li Ying, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote a song "Gong Baking Song" in Chashan, describing in detail the harm of tribute tea to the people. At that time, it was stipulated that tribute tea must be sent to Chang 'an before Tomb-Sweeping Day. It takes only 10 days from picking tea to making tea and then paying tribute to the capital. What a hurry! Our poet, Lu Tong, was equally indignant and scoffed at the corrupt officials' evil deeds of harming farmers with tea, and wrote a critical question: "Ann learned that millions of people lost their lives and fell off a cliff." Although our poet is called a "tea addict", he is not "crazy" about the pain caused by tribute tea to tea farmers.
The popularity of tea drinking and the spread of tea culture in Lu Tong's Tea Song contributed to this situation. Since the Song Dynasty, drinking tea has almost become an allusion for people to sing tea. The poet Mo Ke, who loves tea and is good at making tea, always likes to compare with Lu Tong, such as Chao Hu's poem: "I know now that I am not Lu Tong, but I am afraid that Lu Tong will be close." When enjoying tea, spring and taste, it is often referred to as "seven bowls" and "two-armpit breeze", such as the poem of the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli: "Don't wait for the two-armpit breeze to grow, and the breeze will grow longer than the tongue." Su Shi's poem: "You don't need a pill of Diwei, use seven bowls of tea from Lutong." This sentence is often quoted. For example, Su Shi's poem "Try to make tea in the courtyard" says: "You don't need to support your stomach with 5,000 volumes of words. I hope it's a long time when you get enough sleep. " It was formed by the poem Tea Song. This shows how Lu Tong's Tea Song is respected by the world.
