Chapter 12 Chang began to study in the "tea room"

Venue: "Tea Room"

The next day, the second master (Yao Chang) was still hangovered, so he went to the "tea room" late to report on the study.

"Master Bi, I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday. So." The second master (Yaochang) got up, washed and dressed quickly, and rushed to the "Tea Room" of "Mingyue Residence" to report and study.

"Second Master, since you have come, let's start. It's getting late, if we don't start, today will be delayed again." Master Bi in the tea room of "Mingyueju" has been waiting for a long time, feeling a little impatient , in order not to delay the teaching time, so after seeing the second master (Yaochang) coming, he immediately started today's teaching.

"Speaking of tea, there are different opinions about the origin of tea drinking: some think it started in ancient times, some think it started in Zhou Dynasty, and there are also theories that it started in Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Tang Dynasty. The main reason for the divergent opinions is the Tang Dynasty. In the past, there was no word "tea", but only the word "tea". It was not until Lu Yu, the author of the book of tea, that he reduced the word "tea" by one stroke and wrote "tea". Therefore, there is a saying that tea originated in the Tang Dynasty. Others have It originated from Shennong, and originated from Qin and Han Dynasties."

"According to the origin of the era, there is such a saying:

(Shen Nong said Tang. Lu Yu's "The Classic of Tea": "Tea as a drink originated from Shennong." The saying that drinking tea originated from Shennong also derived different views due to folklore. Some people think that tea is made by Shennong in the wild. When the pot was boiling water, a few leaves just floated into the pot. The color of the boiled water was slightly yellow, and drinking it in the mouth produced body fluids to quench thirst and refresh the mind. Based on Shennong's experience of tasting herbs in the past, it was judged that it was a kind of medicine. And found that this is the most common statement about the origin of tea drinking.

The Western Zhou Dynasty said Jin.Chang Chu's "Huayang Guozhi · Ba Zhi": "Wu Wang of Zhou defeated Zhou, and he really got the teacher of Bashu,... tea and honey... all paid tribute." This record shows that when King Wu of Zhou Dynasty defeated Zhou, Ba State It has already paid tribute to King Wu of Zhou with tea and other precious products. "Huayang Guozhi" also records that there were artificially cultivated tea gardens at that time.

According to Qin and Han Dynasties, the earliest and more reliable information on tea science is in the Han Dynasty, and the Tongyue written by Wang Bao is the main basis.This article was written on the 59th day of the first lunar month in the third year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ([-] BC). It was the most important document in the history of tea science before the Classic of Tea. The pen and ink in the article explained the development of tea culture at that time.

The Six Dynasties said that Chinese tea drinking started in the Six Dynasties. Some people think that it started with "Sun Hao replaced wine with tea", and some people think it started with "Wang Su's drinking of tea". Japan and India say that tea drinking started with "Dharma Meditation". "The argument.However, the theory of Qin and Han has conclusive historical evidence, which weakens the correctness of the theory of the Six Dynasties. )”

As for the origin according to function, there is this statement:
(For example, sacrificial offerings: This saying holds that tea and some other plants were first used as sacrifices, and later someone tasted them and found that they were harmless, so they "made offerings, vegetables, and medicines".

For example, the medicine said: "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" wrote: "Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered 72 poisons every day, and got tea to solve them";
For example, food says: "In ancient times, the people drank grass and water", "The people regard food as their heaven",
For example, Synchrony said: The initial method of using tea may be as a food for chewing, or as a roasted food, and gradually it is also used as a medicinal material;
For example, communication theory: "Zai Jingtang Collection" contains: "Tea, either belongs to Yaocao, or belongs to Jiamu, and is a treasure among plants. The ancient name is 槚蔎ming荈. "Erya·Shimu" says: "槚, bitter Tea.'蔎, vanilla is also, and tea contains fragrance, so it is called Chu. Ming荈, is also the late picker of tea. Ming is also a general name for tea. The use of tea is not only for medicine and food, but also for hospitality. It’s necessary.” There is a poem in "Ke Lai": "The guest comes on the ninth day of the first month, and the goose yellow willow bursts into the court. Sit in detail and discuss, cooking tea is better than wine." This theory introduces tea into the field of treating people, highlighting the A kind of elegance in social occasions is the beginning of the "communication theory" of the cause of drinking tea. )

"" The above are the types of tea I'm talking about. Of course, it is impossible to have all of them in "Mingyueju", but the second master, what you said before, there must be. "Master Bi of the tea room of "Mingyueju" replied seriously.

"Tea culture is very important in the life of the Han people. When King Wu defeated Zhou, tea was already used as a tribute. In the late period of the original commune, tea became an item for exchange of goods. In the Warring States period, tea has reached a certain scale. There are records of tea in the pre-Qin "Book of Songs" Another example is that in the Han Dynasty, tea became a special tonic for Buddhist "sitting meditation". In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was already a trend of drinking tea. In the Sui Dynasty, the whole people generally drank tea. In the Tang Dynasty, the tea industry flourished, and tea became an "indispensable "There is no tea in the day", teahouses, tea banquets, and tea parties appeared, and guests were encouraged to come to offer tea. In the Song Dynasty, tea fighting, tribute tea, and tea giving were popular."
