Tea Poetry

Tea culture Tea culture has a very long history. As one of the important export commodities in ancient China, tea has become one of the representative items in China. There are many poems about tea. Today we will learn about tea culture. The "Drink of Six Teas" in the Book of Tea generally refers to "the reason why tea is drunk is that Shennong heard that there was Yanhe in Duke Zhou and Duke Lu, and Liu Kun, Zhang Zai, Yuan Zunan, Xie An and Zuo Si in Sima Xiangru all drank it." But many of them are not historical facts. Even if you don't state historical facts, it is not easy to understand. Tea Classics, Yun Shennong's Food Classics, and Tea tastes strong and delights for a long time (Liu Yuanchang's History of Tea, Volume 1). Lu Yu's Tea Classic thinks that drinking tea originated from Shennong, but it is not enough to prove that The Book of Food is a well-known fake book.

In addition to its special attributes, the word tea also has a strong sense of history and artistic value. Let's study the meaning of the word tea together. The germination of the word "tea" simplified from "tea" originated from the fact that some of the words "tea" in the ancient seals of China in the Han Dynasty were reduced to the shape of "tea". Not only the pronunciation of the glyph "tea" has been established in the Western Han Dynasty. For example, Chaling in Hunan Province was once the territory of Liu Xin in the Western Han Dynasty, commonly known as "Chaling", and Wangcheng was one of the subordinate counties of Changsha 13 at that time, known as "Chaling County". Yan Shigu's annotation of "Tea" in the tomb of "Han Geography" is extravagant, arrogant and rebellious.

Finally, let's enjoy a poem about tea:

Xiaoding fried tea noodle ruler. White bearded Taoist bamboo chess. Who wrote a book about a broken banana fan? I remember when Nantang moved trees.

This inverted phonetic notation is the pronunciation of the word "tea" now. Judging from this phenomenon, the pronunciation of the word "tea" was established earlier than the word "tea". I hope it works for you.
