A friend gave me a box of "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" Golden Thread Royal Chrysanthemum Tea, one flower per cup. Just the packaging alone made me feel like it was the best tea. I have drunk a lot of tea, both famous and unknown. Most of them were drunk when I was thirsty and I didn't know the taste. I have free time today, so I brewed one, and my thoughts started to bloom like the petals of the chrysanthemum...
The word "tea" has an upper, middle and lower structure, which means people are among the grass and trees. Tea drinkers are the famous trees in the south. This shows that tea is the natural energy nourished by mountains and rivers bathed by the sun and moon. It is made through several procedures from planting to picking, and then enters ordinary people's homes. It is as famous as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and has become a delicacy in people's daily life.
As far as types are concerned, there are thousands of green teas, black teas, white teas, dark teas, etc.; there are a dazzling array of expensive and ordinary ones. The threshold for tea is extremely low. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, as long as you like it, you can steal some leisure and find a kind of elegance in your floating life.
In the small county town where I live, teahouses of all sizes can be seen everywhere. Some are luxurious, elegant, and some are elegant, simple and simple. Looking at the tea guests from all walks of life, they all spread out their postures, straightened out their big bellies, and looked extremely carefree. There are also people with solemn expressions and full of worries, as if they were attending a Hongmen banquet. I wonder how many people can identify the past and present life of tea, the red tape of washing tea and pouring tea, and the exquisite and exquisite tea sets, and understand the spring breeze and rain and dew that tea has experienced?
I think back then, Master Zhiji in Longgai Temple only drank tea brewed by the tea sage Lu Yu, and nothing else. Just because Lu Yu had meditated on the tea sutra in the temple since he was a child, and his tranquility had long been integrated into it. In the tea. Drinking tea is not just the meeting of tea leaves and water, but the harmonious blend of elegance and tranquility. It is a kind of clarity and tranquility that temporarily puts aside trivial matters and worries in ordinary life. It's no wonder that Mei Yaochen praised Lu Yu like this, "Since Lu Yu was born in the world, people in the world have learned about spring tea."
People often use the presence of ink in their belly to measure a person's knowledge, and they also often use the presence of tea in their belly to measure a person's knowledge. to infer a person's character. Of course there are many people who have ink, but how many people have tea?
In my busy life, I rarely sit down to pour it carefully and taste it quietly. I fail to live up to the various tea leaves that collect the essence of the world, the sun and the moon, and ignore the Chinese culture that has accumulated over thousands of years. Tea culture, is it because the body is too hasty or the mind is not empty?
Lin Yutang said: "Only those who look at the busy world with a calm mind can appreciate the wonderful smell of light tea." Even if you are in the tall buildings and busy traffic in the city, you only need a cup of tea in your hand , as if suddenly walking into the grass and trees; as long as a cup of tea enters the mouth, even if it is difficult to meet Xi Huang, you can still marry Ji Ruan.
