Collection of Huaxia: the beginning of the inventory of the top ten ancient figures

Lu Yu walked through many tea gardens and drank a lot of tea, but he didn't dare to say that the tea he drank was the best tea in the world. He didn't expect to be able to drink the best tea in the world here?
Wen Zhengming said with a smile: "Don't be offended, he likes Zen Master Huiyun's tea, so he always says this tea is the best in the world."

Lin Zhongsou said: "Wenhengshan, what you said, don't you like the tea of ​​Zen Master Huiyun?"

"I feel pretty good about it, too."

Wen Zhengming looked at the two of them and said, "It's raining endlessly in this mountain. If we continue talking like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink tea tomorrow. Let's go."

Lin Yi and the two nodded, and then followed Wen Zhengming and the two up the mountain.

Shanyun Temple is halfway up the mountain, and you can go directly to the gate of the temple from the long stone steps.

Lin Yi and others walked for a while and arrived at the gate of the temple. The young monk in the temple recognized Wen Zhengming and Wen Zhengming. Seeing them coming, he invited them in and sat down in the meditation room behind.

Not long after, a monk came in, followed by a few young monks carrying some tea sets.

"Four benefactors." Zen Master Huiyun saluted.

The four people in the house returned the gift.

Wen Zhengming said with a smile: "These are two tea friends I met on the mountain road. They said they came to the mountain for tea, so I invited them to taste the tea of ​​the Zen master together."

Zen Master Huiyun looked at Lin Yi and the two of them, and said, "It's a blessing for the benefactor to visit Cha from afar. Since there is a destiny, I will make a fool of myself."

Lu Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I think the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the water here must be good water, but I don't know if the Zen master's tea is good tea."

Zen Master Huiyun laughed and said: "It's just a wild tea in the mountains. The poor monk picked it himself around Qingming. After dozens of processes, he made one or two catties of loose tea. Please sit down, sir."

Zen Master Huiyun asked everyone to sit around the tea table, and he took out his tea set and put it on the table.

The tea method in the Ming Dynasty is called the tea method, and it has been used until now, that is, the method of putting tea leaves in a pot, a tureen, or a fair cup, and then brewing.

The difference between the tea method in the Ming Dynasty and modern times is mainly in the utensils. Ming people mostly use teacups to drink tea, unlike today's small teacups.

Zen Master Huiyun took out the teacup and put it away, then boiled water in a copper pot, brewed tea in a purple sand pot, and distributed it to everyone.

The brewing method in the Ming Dynasty was very simple, and it was precisely because of this that the tea-drinking atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty spread from the upper class to the lower class.

But such a simple brewing method is a test of the quality of the tea and the water used for brewing.

Most of the tea leaves in the Ming Dynasty were loose tea, such as Huqiu, Tianchi, Songluo, Longjing, Yandang, etc. The famous loose teas were divided into Tianshui and Dishui.

Tianshui refers to rainwater, snow water, etc., and ground water refers to surface water, such as spring water, river water, well water, etc.

In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the water on this day is the best. The water used by Zen Master Huiyun is also snow water accumulated over the years, and it smells like plum blossoms.

Lu Yu picked up the teacup and drank it lightly.

Then he nodded and said, "Good tea."

Lin Zhongsou said with a smile: "How about it, I said that Zen Master Huiyun's tea is really the best tea in the world, right?"

"Zen Master Huiyun is quite proficient in the tea ceremony. This tea has been roasted, greened and other procedures. The tea is moderately ripe, without any bitter taste, and has a sweet aftertaste. It is indeed the best tea in the world."

Zen Master Huiyun said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Zhongsou is over the award, but my tea art is not as good as what he said, it's just that the tea is good."

Lu Yu said: "I don't know, can I take a look?"

Zen Master Huiyun handed the tea pot to Lu Yu.

Tea in the Ming Dynasty was loose tea, just like later generations.

Lu Yu looked at the tea leaves. The tea leaves in this jar were newly harvested during the Qingming Festival this year. They looked dark green, as if people could see the tea garden amidst the rain and mist during the Qingming Festival.

The audience in front of the TV looked at the tea in the pot, and some people who knew tea immediately appreciated it.

"Good tea, this tea looks like a typical Qingming tea, and it is definitely top grade!"

"That's right, the color and appearance are definitely high-quality, good tea."

"Good tea, good tea, this tea is not bad. This Zen master Huiyun seems to have been making tea for a long time, and he feels that he is comparable to the tea making skills of the old masters in our tea garden."

"Good tea. It seems that Mr. Lin understands tea. The tea you choose is top grade."

In the picture, Lu Yu also praised: "The color of this tea is dark green, and it smells pleasantly fragrant, without any bitter taste, and there is not much tea in it. Is it made from one or two leaves on top of this tea?"

Zen Master Huiyun nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it seems that he is a tea ceremony practitioner."

Lu Yu said with a smile: "It's just an idler who likes to drink tea."

"The thatched cottage is dark at dusk, and the pine windows are bright with snow. This tea reminds me of these two poems." Wen Zhengming said.

Zen Master Huiyun smiled and said, "It's a blessing for me to get a compliment from Wenheng Mountain."

"Hahahahahaha, the Zen master gambled with me last time, don't forget, come here, come here, there is such a good tea, hurry up and talk to me!"

Zen Master Huiyun got up and moved the chess table to the side of the tea table, and then sat opposite Wen Zhengming.

Lu Yu sat next to the two, smelling the fragrance of tea and watching the two talking with their hands.

Lin Yi sat beside Lu Yu and took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Ming people combined the tea ceremony with other things, such as tea paintings and tea poems. exist."

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Sitting here is quite interesting, like sitting in an empty mountain, listening to the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers."

Lu Yu smiled, looking very leisurely and happy.

This natural tea ceremony is the core of Chinese tea culture.

There are five people in the picture, two of them are talking with hands, and three of them are sitting on a side playing chess and drinking tea. This kind of leisurely and comfortable atmosphere makes the audience outside the TV quite envious.

"It feels very pleasant, this kind of scene."

"Su Dongpo said to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng, I think this is it, it seems that I will also steal half a day from Fusheng!"

"I'm envious. Now I'm watching my phone and playing games at home every day. It feels like I haven't gone out for a long time."

"That's right, I haven't been out for a long time!"

Looking at this picture, foreign audiences appreciate the unique Chinese aesthetic charm contained in it even more.

Western culture divides subject and object, and the nature of the unity of man and nature makes them yearn even more.

"It's so beautiful. The Chinese culture is really attractive. This feeling of melting into nature is really great!"

"That's right, the five of them and the picture are not abrupt at all, just sitting there, they all have a unique sense of beauty, it's really wonderful!"

"I really like this feeling too! This beautiful feeling!! I'm going to Huaxia!"
