tea ceremony
Drink the morning dew,
Drink sunset glow.
In the old jar-
Put your other hand in the star.
Put your hands on the pot,
Feel how big Gan Kun is,
Never leave tea,
Ask who is the enlightenment of time.
In the dream-
The heart is empty, the mind is infinite,
Clear air curled up to the sky,
Laughing at how much glitz the running water floats away.
There is a way to taste tea, where is the way? The poet created the trilogy of tea ceremony with three short poems, namely, tasting tea, tasting pot and tasting dream. From reality to emptiness, from inside to outside, from near to far, from object to heart, from scale to width, exquisite concepts are integrated into a melting pot with broad vision and microscopic vision. Show the fascinating tea world in a unique way, describe the intoxicating tea dream in both form and spirit, and explore the profound tea philosophy. Being able to express the taste of tea in less than 100 words is a poem as straight as the best in tea and has its own charm of endless taste.
In chronological order, this poem expresses the poet's lofty sentiments of replacing wine with tea day and night.
Drink in the morning, and enjoy it if you don't drink. But what the poet "drinks" from tea is not "tea" but "morning dew". "Gulp" is a state of binge drinking, while "morning dew" is the essence of the morning world-a poet holding a cup of tea in his hand, or walking in front of the window, bathed in gorgeous morning light, gulp down, accompanied by the fragrance of morning dew, how can he not make people feel Shu Tai and prosperous? Drinking tea in the evening is to "drink the sunset glow in one gulp" and get the way to taste tea. The morning dew is long and clear, crystal clear and rare, so you should be careful to "drink" it and not abandon it. The sunset glow is full of color. If you want to have a panoramic view and hold it in your chest, isn't it just a word "drink"? It's not "broken", is it? The sky is full of rosy clouds reflecting green tea, taking in everything in a glance. What a heroic act it is to drink it and break it! What a good mind! What a style! However, even if the poet "drinks" dew in the morning and chardonnay in the evening, it is not enough to describe the poet's unrestrained feelings of looking at the essence of heaven and earth and a pot of green tea, so he "puts a handful of stars" in an old pot of tea drinking morning dew and sunset glow. "Star" symbolizes "night" drinking. From morning dew to sunset glow, from sunset glow to stars, morning, noon and evening, at three o'clock a day, it is a portrayal of a tea addict who is accompanied by tea all day, so he can get three flavors in his tea. The word "put in" is a fictional language. How can stars be put in a small teapot? It is imagination, image, spirit and charm. And the stars in the sky, only put in a handful of "holding", not only cut the teapot small, the sky is big, but also can write without hate in a limited way, and can also dig out Xiaotian's pot, where there are sun, moon and tea.
In fact, the poet seems to be writing a pot, but he is actually expressing himself. Isn't a poet who is over 70 years old an old teapot filled with the essence of the sun, the moon, the stars and the heavens and the earth? However, it is not only my own taste and experience in life that speaks for itself. The drinker here should be a capital "person"-ladies and gentlemen, shouldn't it be a teapot containing the essence of the sun and the moon? Facing the boundless Xinghai, the poet just put "a handful of stars" into the pot, instead of "gulping down" like morning dew or "gulping down" like sunset glow. Image from tiny, from infinite to limited, from bohemian to introverted and self-modest, is precisely the proper character of a man based on the world. The so-called tea ceremony is humanity. The way to be a man is not only to have the grand imagination of "drinking it all at once" and "drinking it all at once", but also to have the philosophical feelings of taking only one scoop of water in the vast sea. A cup of tea, a trip to Wan Ren, relaxing and orderly, advancing and retreating freely, this free life state is a brand-new experience of drinking tea. The poet's taste of tea is a classic gesture against the traditional fine taste and slow taste, which shapes an indomitable image of a drinker and shows the momentum of the drinker, and is also the road for the poet to realize tea.
The second part of the pot. In the poet's eyes, although the teapot is small, it is the carrier of extraordinary image spirit. This pot of water is limited, but it can breed infinite philosophical thoughts. The poet set up a strange pen and reached out to "touch" the small teapot, but he was "feeling the size of Gankun" and found that the small teapot had unlimited capacity to accommodate Gankun. In the poet's taste, the small teapot can hold long and dry, galloping in the vast universe, provided that "hands never leave the pot". It takes years of constant touching from morning till night to realize the infinite mystery of the natural universe and to integrate the small teapot into this world. This is the secret that the poet can "touch" Gan Kun from a small teapot, and this is the secret that the tea taster plays with the pot.
If you want to know how big Gankun is, you have to "never leave your hand", drink a pot and indulge in it. Only real drinkers can appreciate the taste of tea. It is precisely because "tea is life, tea is the world, and tea is life" that the poet sends out the infinite emotion of "asking who touched the years". History is unpredictable. Poets savor history and life in tea tasting: all sentient beings, vicissitudes of life, who will guide success or failure? Who will enlighten the honor and disgrace? Who will enlighten wisdom and ignorance? Who will enlighten eternity? This is a thought-provoking and thought-provoking "question of the years" born from the pot!
"Kun Kun" is space, and "year" is time. The poet has unique insight and wonderful thoughts. When they are put in a small teapot, they roam infinitely and philosophically, seeing the big in the small and the big in the small. They not only told the secret of the pot, but also created an image of a poet who can appreciate the broad feelings of the universe and time-not only the image of a poet who won the pot, but also the image of a poet who tirelessly pursued the truth.
Write a tea dream in the last section. From drinking tea to tasting a pot of dreams, from reality to nothingness, to wandering in Wan Ren, all originated from that pot of tea.
When a poet dreams while drinking tea, his heart is empty and his thoughts are infinite. Of course, drinking can also make people "unfinished", and it can also make people think a lot, but the chaos of drinking can only make people ecstatic and confused, but it can't make people "empty" like drinking tea-sit and daydream, sit and realize, and "empty" will become a dream to the extreme! And that wisp of "gently curled clear air in the teacup and teapot" is "tea dream", which can be understood beyond words. And that song "Clear Sky" finally became "Heaven", which is even more ingenious, with a vast and magical artistic conception, which makes people daydream infinitely.
Tea dreams come from the teapot, from the teacup, from the tea leaves, straight into the sky, straight into the sky, straight into the "heaven", how wonderful and spectacular! The "Heaven" tea experienced is the last sentence in the poem, "Laugh at how much glitz Shui Piao has gone"-isn't the process and result of tea floating, floating and sinking in boiling water a vivid portrayal of the image of "how much glitz Shui Piao has gone" in the world? But how many people can "laugh" and wait? This is an open-minded smile, an enlightened smile, a compassionate smile, a smile that sees through the world of mortals, and this smile can awaken many intoxicated people! And cup after cup of tea flowing out of the pot is like another clear spring, floating away the flashy tea leaves and leaving the real sweetness. This is the way of tea and the way of being a man-life is like tea and a dream, which is the sublimation of tea ceremony.
Tasting tea, tasting pots, tasting dreams and telling stories, I saw the greatness of Kun, the beauty of life and the depth of philosophical thinking. This is the tea ceremony that the poet understood alone, which suddenly enlightened the drinker and sublimated the reader.
Tea ceremony, like good tea, is exquisite in structure. One chant and three sighs, three interlocking sections, seem to be drifting away from chanting tea, and the shape is far from god, but in fact it is close to tea, and gradually gets the soul from the shape. It seems that letting go without receiving it is actually letting go to God, which is even more unique and unique.
Harmonious rhythm, can sing and sing, cycle back and forth, beautiful rhythm. It is a free verse style, but it has a folk style, but it has a classical lyric style. It not only has the beauty of poetic tradition, but also has the return and prosperity of poetic tradition.
Good at refining words. Language seems dull, but it can turn dull into magic, which makes people shine at the moment. For example, the stars of Tired, Broken and A Pinch in the first quarter all have the power to stop nails and iron, and have the power to chew olives with endless aftertaste. The "touch" in the second season of "Mo Gan Kun" seems light but powerful. The "communication" in the last section of Tian Tong Road and the "drifting away" in Running Water are also lightly rewritten pens, but there is a virtual point in reality.
The idea is exquisite and exciting. Tea tasting is emotional, pot tasting is rational and dream tasting is illusory. The integration of the three forms the unique charm and artistic conception of the tea ceremony written by the poet.
Life is a pot of tea, tea is big!
