Tea Ceremony Calligraphy Works 1 Tea Ceremony Calligraphy Works 2 Tea Ceremony Calligraphy Works 3 Tea Ceremony Calligraphy Works 4 Tea Ceremony Calligraphy Works 5 Tea Ceremony and Calligraphy Development History Chinese characters were only used as a means of recording in the early days, Cui Yuancao of the Eastern Han Dynasty said:? The prosperity of the book contract began with the emperor's writing of bird tracks. ? Many ancient letters, inscriptions, manuscripts, etc. Now it seems that most of them are good calligraphy works. Chinese characters evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Li Shu, cursive script, regular script and running script, and gradually developed from practical to lyrical freehand brushwork with unique charm. Calligraphy works left over from history are all rare first-hand materials. At the same time, it can also be used as a supplement to other disciplines.
Tea is also made because of its practicality. Tea was originally mainly used as medicine. During the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, the style of drinking tea became more and more popular, especially for the literati, who gradually integrated drinking tea into their artistic activities and infiltrated with poetry, calligraphy, painting and other artistic forms, forming a unique tea culture. After the Tang Dynasty, tea banquets, tea parties and other cultural forms appeared. Scholars talk about books while sipping tea, talking about the past and the present, reciting poems and writing poems, splashing ink and sending love to calligraphy and painting. The function of tea has also risen from practicality to a spiritual enjoyment and aesthetic demand. Tea has an indissoluble bond with traditional art in China. Tea is praised by the world? National drink? Calligraphy is regarded as? National quintessence? . During the development of tea and calligraphy, they influenced, merged and promoted each other, and the isomorphism of * * * became a beautiful landscape of China culture.
Tea and calligraphy can be traced back to before the Han Dynasty. There are many kinds of tea characters in Chinese and Indian rhymes. According to another report, ancient cultural relics were unearthed from Han Tomb No.4 in Weijiadadui, Changsha, Hunan. Chaling? (now Chaling, Hunan) one official seal. It shows that tea, as an artistic expression, reached the elegance of calligraphy at least two thousand years ago. Tea contributes to literary thinking, and literati love tea. Among them, there are countless calligraphers, ranging from Yan Zhenqing, Huai Su, Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian to Ni Yunlin, Xu Wenchang, Zheng Banqiao and Wu Changshuo. They all wrote and praised tea with beautiful poems and exquisite calligraphy, and created many excellent works. The Tang Dynasty was a period when calligraphy prevailed and tea production developed. There are more and more records about tea in calligraphy. Bitter bamboo shoots and tea are particularly good, so you can come here and go to Huai Su, wrote a famous letter "Bitter bamboo shoots" written by monk Huai Su, a cursive calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. ? Although there are only fourteen words in the whole post, the overall style is vivid and radiant. Huai Su's thirst for tea can be seen.
Another calligrapher who has many similarities with Huai Su's life experience and personality is also fond of books and tea. This person is the author of Biography of Monks in Huai Su and Tea Classics. Cha Sheng? Lu Yu. Lu Yu, a young and clever man, was appreciated by Ricky in Yinan, Henan Province, and funded him to study in Zoufuzi Mountain Villa. Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty and Zou Fuzi, a calligrapher and hermit in Wang Xianzhi. Lu Yu studied hard for four or five years, and his pen was vigorous, showing his talent at the beginning. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Lu Yu? More hidden in Tunxi? . In order to create tea science, he visited the vast tea areas in Zhejiang and Jiangsu all the year round in order to gain true knowledge. However, due to lack of money, I often spend the night in the temple. It coincided with the renovation of the Daxiong Hall of Yongding Temple in Suzhou, and invited him to write a plaque. He brewed for a while, and after drinking a cup of strong tea, his book was full of fun, and he happily wrote three magnificent Chinese characters of Yongding Temple, which made him famous far and near. Zhang once talked to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu asked Zhang? Who is the reporter? Is Zhang a person? Space is a room, the moon is a candle, and everything is everywhere. What kind of communication is there? . It is believed that the highest state of moral cultivation is calmness, loneliness, emptiness and inaction. Did his Taoist thoughts merge with later Lu Yu? Datang tea ceremony? Enlightened. Lu Yu and Calligraphy? Face? Yan Zhenqing, the founder, had close contacts and often got together to make poems, drink tea and learn the art of calligraphy. Lu Yu discusses the differences between Yan Zhenqing's and Xu's official scripts in On Two Books. Cover with Xu Youjun's skin, eyes and nose, so it seems; Yan's right army is full of bones and muscles, unlike appearance. ? Lu Yu's exposition is profound and philosophical, expounding that learning should master the dialectical relationship between likeness and likeness; Learning must be creative, innovation must be innovative, and art can be full of vitality. After hearing the terrible news of Huai Su's death, Lu Yu wrote "The Biography of the Monk of Huai Su" sadly. In Biography, the subtle metaphors of ancient hairpin feet, cracked houses and broken ends inspired later calligraphers to understand the wonderful method of calligraphy, which is still talked about by calligraphers and has a great influence on calligraphy creation and theory. Looking at all the achievements of Lu Yu's life, The Book of Tea is undoubtedly the first, but at the same time, we can completely think that Lu Yu is still an accomplished book critic.
Song Dynasty is an extremely important era in the history of China tea industry and calligraphy. Tea drinking has changed from practicality to artistry, and calligraphy has changed from emphasizing law to emphasizing meaning. Many tea experts are also famous calligraphers. What is more representative? Song Sijia? One of Cai Xiang (Mo Jun). Cai Xiang was a good tea all his life, and he must be accompanied by tea when writing a book. He improved the tea-making technology, used more exquisite raw materials, and made exquisite and precious Xiaolong group (top grade dragon tea). Cai Xiang is not only unique in the practice of making tea, but also has an influential theoretical work "Tea Story". The Book of Tea is the development of the Book of Tea. Moreover, Cai Xiang's Tea Story itself is a famous masterpiece, which has been praised by calligraphers of all ages. Besides, Cai Xiang also has books on tea, such as Ten Poems in Beiyuan and Fine Tea Stickers, which have been handed down from generation to generation. In Song Dynasty, Xuan He and Pu Shu commented on Cai Xiang's calligraphy like this: The big characters are a few feet, and the small characters are unscathed; The position of pen power, big and meticulous, small and generous. ? Especially good at walking, in the predecessors, has its own flavor. ?
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the relationship between tea and calligraphy became closer, and there were more and more works with tea as the content. Masterpieces handed down to this day include Su Dongpo's One-night Love Post and Tea Tasting Post, Mi Fei's Tiaoxi Tea Poetry Post, Zheng Xie's Zhi Zhu Ci, Xu Wenchang's Seven Kinds of Fried Tea, and Wang Chaolin's Youfuzhai Pioneer Jingxian Tea. Many of these works were created while drinking tea. As for modern products, there are even more.
The relationship between tea ceremony and calligraphy Tea tasting and calligraphy are the business of literati. Under the great humanistic environment, they are bound to be influenced by China's traditional culture and national spirit, especially many tea people are calligraphers themselves. The two are bound to penetrate each other and are closely related in operational needs and ideas.
First of all, both emphasize? Understand? . The selection and use of utensils is very important for tea tasting and calligraphy. Pay attention to drinking tea? Good tea, good water, running water, wonderful utensils? . Lu Yu introduced 28 kinds of tea sets in detail in the Book of Tea, ranging from lighting, boiling, fetching water to drinking, cleaning and aging. Calligraphy must learn from Four Treasures of the Study: pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The use of water can be said to be the most exquisite of the two. Bird's Tea Story in the Ming Dynasty said:? Tea maker, water god; Water, the essence of tea, is not real water. Take a peek at impure tea. ? What is true water? Lu Yu thinks? In the scenery, in the river, in the well? . Song Huizong Thought in Taiguan Tea Theory:? Clear, light, sweet and clean water is beautiful? . Descendants become one? Clear, lively, light, sweet and bitter? Out of kindness. Chen Yizeng's "Lin Chao's Essentials" in Yuan Dynasty goes:? Words are born in ink, ink is born in water, and the blood of words is also in water. ? The ancients used fresh water to grind ink, demanding freshness and cleanliness. When spending a lot of money, pen and ink should have a proper amount of water, and different styles and styles should also pay attention to the weight of water in pen and ink. Only when properly used can we foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Secondly, both emphasize? Right? . Tea cooking pays attention to the collocation of tea, water, fire and utensils. The difficulty lies in decocting water, which can maintain the quality and taste of tea. What is the boiled water in Lu Yu's Tea Classic? Triple boiling? On this basis, Li Nanjin of the Southern Song Dynasty further pointed out? The last two involve three? Water is the best, that is, it has been fried for the second time, and Chongqing tea is the most suitable when it has just boiled for the third time. And tea tasting should be done properly, right? Visual inspection of the tea color, tasting the tea fragrance in the mouth, smelling the tea fragrance in the nose, listening to the tea wave in the ear and the tea set in the hand can achieve five beauties? . Calligraphy? Law? It's also quite complicated. Not only does it require pen, ink, paper and inkstone to cooperate with each other, but also pay attention to brushwork, calligraphy, pen and ink and composition in creation. What must a good calligraphy work have? God, qi, bone, blood, flesh? Both are indispensable. This requires calligraphers to unify and integrate harmoniously the music, straightness, exposure and hiding of the pen, the dryness, wetness, thickness and lightness of the ink, and the thinness, density, emptiness and reality of the structure when creating calligraphy. Tea and calligraphy, originally living twins, are waiting for the resurrection of life. Tea and calligraphy are afraid of light, so they must be completely closed. Both tea and calligraphy are afraid of dampness, and both damp tea and calligraphy will be moldy, thus losing the day of youthful glow forever; They need to hide it.
Third, emphasize both? Did you have fun? . The first is the quiet and elegant objective environment, which often makes people feel relaxed and happy. Therefore, literati often decorate the lingshi and study room very elegantly, creating a good atmosphere for tea tasting or calligraphy creation. Cambridge University has created an elegant teahouse for professors and students, providing them with an environment to relax and publicize their personalities. After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, thoughts and dreams are like tinkling springs.
No wonder some people say, right? Afternoon tea? Drink a lot of British Nobel Prize winners. The environment here includes not only the natural environment, but also the social environment and many other aspects. Tao Qian tasted Jiaming and wrote it down? Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan? Pure; Cao Xueqin smelled tea and stayed? Full of paper shortage. Tang Yan, bitter tears? Loneliness. Pu Songling set up a tea stall to listen to what he said, so it became Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. In addition, both tea tasting and calligraphy need peace of mind. Over the years, scholars and tea people who study tea ceremony have proposed that harmony, purity, silence, honesty, frugality, beauty, joy and tranquility are the basic spirits. Mr. Zhuang Wanfang put forward: honesty and frugality, self-cultivation, beauty and true joy, sincerity in life, and sincere respect for cha de in China. In the early 1990s, Mr. Chen proposed that the core of China Tea Ceremony is harmony, that is, the organic unity and harmony of heaven, earth, people and everything in the universe, and harmony is a kind of beauty [7]. A calligrapher should be calm and not excited in his creation, so that his mind and hands can be smooth and he can achieve something? Unintentional, Yoga Yu is better? Artistic realm.
Cai Yong Cloud in the Eastern Han Dynasty:? Books are scattered. If you want books, you must first open your arms and let your feelings follow your inclinations before you write. ? The calligraphy art of Chaling School in Li Dongyang originated from Yan Zhenqing. He is good at neatness, steadiness, simplicity, elegance and no agitation. Li Dongyang's personality charm is consistent with his breath in calligraphy. Li Dongyang and His Poems by Shan Xiaoying linked Li Dongyang's calligraphy works with his personality connotation, spoke highly of Li Dongyang's calligraphy art, and thought that Li Dongyang and his contemporaries initiated the revival of calligraphy in the middle of Ming Dynasty.
