Tianmen, Hubei Province is the hometown of Cha Sheng, and there are still many relics related to Lu Yu. According to legend, Lu Yu was abandoned shortly after his birth, sheltered by a flock of wild geese, and later adopted by a monk named Zhiji. Zhiji likes drinking tea, and Lu Yu often makes tea for him. After a long-term practice of cooking and tasting tea, Lu Yu finally cooked good tea, so that Chata cooked by Lu Yu was too clever to drink. At present, there is an "Ancient Wild Goose Bridge" in Tianmen City, which is said to be the place where wild geese shelter Lu Yu. There is a "three-eye well" at the north gate of the town, which was once the place where Lu Yu cooked tea and took water. There is a stone tablet "Little Statue of Chu Shi Lu Hung-chien in Tang Dynasty" next to the well platform, which is engraved with the scene of Lu Yu sitting and sipping tea, which is quite charming. Lu Yuting was built in the Qing Dynasty and was destroyed by soldiers. After liberation, it was rebuilt as a double-layer wooden structure, hexagonal, exquisite and elegant. In the meantime, it is very charming to stay in the pavilion and drink tea. Lu Yu Memorial Hall is located in Jinling West Lake, including Lu Yu's former residence, Lu Yu Monument and Lu Yu's tea activities. You can get a lot of information about Lu Yu's deeds and legends by visiting museums.
Wuyi rock tea culture
Wuyi rock tea, nourished by fertile soil, influenced by dew, is in harmony with the earth and endowed with unique advantages. It is cultivated into fragrant muscles and produces spiritual buds. The love for nature has created the noble character of Wuyi Rock Tea. It is combined with the international tea party without me, which brings out the best in each other and attracts more and more attention from the world.
Wuyi rock tea has a unique rock rhyme of "lively, sweet, clear and fragrant", which leaves fragrance on the teeth and cheeks after drinking, and the fragrance is high; The bottom of the throat is sweet, mellow and clear; Green leaves with red edges and seven scents make people feel relaxed and happy. Its noble qualities and virtues are embodied in the following aspects: first, it can give people material enjoyment of quenching thirst, treating diseases and keeping fit; Second, it can give people pleasure and physical and mental enjoyment.
Tea is virtuous, and tea drinkers are cha de. Scholars and celebrities in past dynasties have incisive expositions on Wuyi Tea Morality. Fan Zhongan praised Wuyi Rock Tea as immortal tea, which was planted by immortals and ranked first in the world. Taste is better than incomparable sweetness; The aroma is better than that of fragrant Lan Zhi, and the tea is frugal and light. Therefore, Qu Yuan's Fisherman was quoted as saying: "The world is muddy, I am alone, everyone is drunk, and I am alone." To declare that he has been an official all his life. Especially in Fan Zhongyan's view, it is better to go to Wuyishan to drink Wuyi tea and sip fairy buds, which will make you lose your temper and get excited. Song Huizong wrote in the preface of Daguan Tea Theory: "Tea is the thing, which is the spirit of Zhongshan and Sichuan. Eliminate stagnation, leading to clear guidance and harmony; It is quiet and clean, and its rhythm is high and quiet. He believes that tea has the virtues of "purity, harmony, gentleness and tranquility". And thus extended to social ethics aesthetics. He went on to say, "The gentry, people like Webb, are bathed, cultivate one's morality, promote elegance and engage in drinking tea. "People in the world are inspirational and innocent, and they are ashamed of not storing tea. It can be said that the prosperity of the world is still good. " In the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei also talked about cha de of Wuyi in "Eating in the Garden": "I traveled to Wuyi, and monks and Taoists competed for tea. The cup is as small as a walnut and the jar is as small as a citron. It's hard to swallow every time you pour it. Smell its fragrance first, then taste it, chew slowly and be considerate. Sure enough, it smells sweet and the tip of the tongue is sweet. After one drink, try two more, which is soothing and enjoyable. At first, I thought Longjing tasted thin, but Yang Xian had a good rhyme, which was quite different from jade and crystal. He praised Wuyi tea virtue: "The fragrance is fragrant and the tip of the tongue is sweeter;" "Release impatience, happy. "Professor Zhuang Wan Fang, a modern tea expert, summarized China cha de as: sincerity, beauty, harmony and respect (sincerity and virtue, beauty and true entertainment, sincerity and sincerity, love and people). In addition, he also proposed to educate people's etiquette and morality by drinking tea (tea ceremony).
In a word, tea, as a natural product, has won its natural disposition. Zhong Ling is beautiful and has created excellent cha de. Tea is frugal, bitter is sweet. Its frugality, lightness, quietness and fitness are just in line with China people's idea of advocating bitterness before sweetness, gentleness, modesty, serenity and indifference, and it is deeply loved by people.
