With the knowledge of tea, we can enter a higher realm. I collected the life sentiment of tea ceremony, I hope you like it!
Life perception of tea ceremony 1 The highest level of drinking tea is knowing. There is a way to drink tea. Where is the road? Some people say: tea Zen blindly; Some people say: peace and respect; Some people say: Tao is in shit; All kinds of statements have some truth, but unfortunately they are too abstruse and confusing. So, we might as well look at it this way. Tea is a carrier of spiritual material, and tea ceremony means that drinkers realize a certain realm of life by drinking tea. The deeper the sentiment, the higher the realm. This process is endless. It is difficult to solve it with the theory of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Sometimes, even some small, even secular feelings are enough. In this state, it is no longer an ordinary beverage, but a "product". Maybe this is the fun of drinking tea.
When you drink tea to a certain extent, you should pay attention to the realm. The first is to understand tea. There are many kinds of teas in China, each with its own characteristics. At the very least, a drinker will know what kind of tea he wants. At least know the difference between scented tea, green tea, black tea, oolong tea and black tea. The second is to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of tea. The quality of tea varies greatly and is extremely fine. The same is green tea. Longjing is different from Biluochun. The same is Longjing, the special grade is different from the first grade; The same oolong tea, rock tea and Tieguanyin are different; It is also rock tea. This mountain is different from Waishan. Although you don't have to be as precise as a professional tea taster, you should at least smell the aroma and have a mellow and shallow drink to taste the charm.
With the knowledge base of tea, we can enter a higher realm: First, we can know water. Since tea is a kind of drink, we should pay attention to the quality of tea-making water. The ancients had a lot of high comments on this. The classic saying is "mountain spring is the best, well water is the second, and river water is the second". And Rainbow Anshi, you should be able to distinguish the water in the river from the water at the end of the river. Many changes have taken place today. For urban drinkers, real springs and wells are nowhere to be found, while river water is seriously polluted and can't be drunk. It is easy to get high-quality mineral water. Be careful not to use pure water, let alone tap water. With good water, you should also know how to brew. Generally speaking, green tea is relatively simple, and it can be cooked at about 80 degrees. Oolong tea requires high temperature, so it should be burned now, not boiled for too long. With good tea and water, there must be a good tea set. This is a perceptron.
China's tea set is an art of spectacular scenery. Of course, the best is Yixing teapot in Jiangsu. Famous pots are more valuable than gold. In addition, there are many porcelain tea sets in the tea set, such as Dehua and Jingdezhen, which are also very beautiful. For ordinary drinkers, you should know how to appreciate. But the most important thing is to understand the truth of tea dispenser. For example, oolong tea should use a "mansheng pot", and the tea in the pot should be poured into a small pot. The exquisite tea is also equipped with a thumb-sized scented cup, which is called kung fu tea after being smelled first. It is best to use a glass for green tea. In the crystal clear, watch the tea bloom like a flower. It is natural to get drunk before drinking. Another important thing to know is to be able to know big things. The external environment when drinking tea. Tea tasting is an elegant leisure activity. In an elegantly decorated teahouse, you can enjoy tea while listening to subtle light music. You can soak in a friend's house and drink slowly if you like. You can interact with nature by holding a pot on the floor in front of the flowers and under the moon and by the tree. No matter what the environment, quiet and clean is interesting.
If you know water, you should know people. Nowadays, people drink tea not only to quench their thirst, but also as a way of communication and leisure. This is also the fundamental reason why teahouses are booming in cities today. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups". To make this cup of tea smooth both physically and mentally, it is very important to choose who to drink tea with. Because drinking tea is different from drinking, the more you drink, the more lively and exciting you are, so it doesn't matter if there are more people and more miscellaneous. As for tea, generally speaking, the more you drink, the more sober you are and the more indifferent you are, so you should not drink more, and your character should be elegant.
Life experience of tea ceremony II. Drinking tea is always based on green tea, regardless of winter and summer.
I like Dongting Biluochun very much. In a 20 cm transparent glass, take some leaves and put them into boiling water. Sitting quietly, watching the leaves slowly stretch and sink in the water, performing a silent dance with the most beautiful posture and years. Slender figure, fluffy hair all over the floor, clear green and light taste are the characteristics of Biluochun, and clear and clear tea soup is also the reason why I love it. When the mind is troubled, watching this scene will slowly let go of the fetters of the soul and melt into such a long time.
I chatted with a friend about the tea ceremony that day and talked about Pu 'er. Friends say that Pu 'er is characterized by its massiness, profundity and profoundness. Most people who like Pu 'er are calm and steady. They have a certain life experience and experienced hardships in life, so they can also feel the sweetness in the hardships of Pu 'er.
I am close at hand, "thick, deep, deep". These six words are my expectations for the future life. I think we should experience more, so I want to approach Pu 'er and try Pu 'er, which is also accepting another attitude towards life.
On the streets of Jiangnan, I am wandering at will. It was the first day of autumn wind, and a large plane tree leaf danced with the wind on the roadside, telling the story of reincarnation.
At the end of the ancient street, there is a very simple and elegant tea art pavilion, which is well decorated and all in antique wood style. There are different hardcover tea gift boxes and tea sets with complete materials on the wall. In the corner, there is a purplish red root carving tea table with exquisite Kung Fu tea set on it. A rich middle-aged woman, sitting lazily on the table, casually leafing through a book, could not conceal her elegant temperament.
I looked at her with a smile, and she got up and smiled.
The familiar guzheng music came from the room, which brought us closer.
I asked her if she sold Pu 'er, and she asked me whether I wanted tea granules or tea bricks. I said, I'm not giving it away, just drinking it myself. I said, I'll buy whatever you think suits me. She smiled and said, you are suitable for drinking elegant scented tea. I just smiled.
After she packed the tea granules for me, I asked her about the characteristics of Pu 'er and the main points of brewing.
She looked up at me and asked me to sit down and have a cup of tea with her. I promised to sit down.
She said that meeting is fate. Since you love tea, I'll teach you.
I quickly thanked him.
She carefully cut off a small piece of Pu 'er tea brick with a tea knife for use, scalded and preheated the purple sand tea set with boiling water, then poured, woke up and filtered the tea, step by step, methodically and elegantly, showing the perfection of the technology. She threw herself into it, and I watched it carefully.
From beginning to end, she didn't introduce the detailed steps that should be paid attention to, only told me to make tea with 100℃ boiling water and master the boiling time of water. Too long time will reduce the oxygen in water and affect the activity of tea.
She only told me that Pu 'er pays attention to the state of mind of the people who make tea, and it is a state of mind in which one person gets the spirit and everything is silent like water. If you are in that mood, you can use ordinary porcelain cups to make tea directly and master the water temperature. You can also use professional tea sets to make tea soup.
She added, and you have this fresh water mood, which is what you gave me.
I smiled and suddenly felt that some people in this world, even if they don't know each other, even if they have only met once, will have a heart in mind.
These characteristics of Pu 'er tea and the essentials that should be paid attention to when processing make me suddenly think of tea and life.
Society is boiled water, and we are suppressed Pu 'er tea. Pu 'er needs boiled water to be mellow, just as we have experienced a lot in Qian Fan before we can be calm. Pu 'er is a mature person. After seeing thousands of landscapes, we are low-key and steady, and know how to control ourselves.
There is also that kind of delicate and elegant', glass-processed green tea is our youth, brewed with water at 80℃ and 90℃, which is simple and pure and retains the original green color of tea. People outside can peek into our hearts through the glass. We keep looking out and see the colorful world through the glass.
The quietness of green tea is different from that of Pu 'er.
One summer, I was asked to try making tea with cold water. He said that drinking cold water tea is not irritating or abrupt, and it suits you.
Trust him, so I drank cold water tea all summer, which was tepid and hardly felt anything. Now that I think about it, cold water tea is like a flower in a greenhouse. It keeps constant temperature, but it can't produce its own fragrance. The life of cold water tea, without exquisite training, can't show your true self.
My thoughts were aroused by another guzheng.
She put a small cup of tea in front of me. The tea soup is warm and yellow in color. In the slightly cold late autumn, she gracefully braved a wisp of hot air, and she was sucked into her heart and felt warm. Carefully pick up the teacup, take a sip and enter the throat. It is warm and mellow, mellow in sound and fragrant in lips and teeth. Almost at the same time, I felt the heavy, profound and profound words, and I fell in love with Pu 'er at the same time.
So, I accompanied her, and she accompanied me and finished the pot of tea together. Just simple communication, about tea, about guzheng, about life.
She didn't ask me, and I didn't ask her.
As dusk approached, I got up to say goodbye. She gave me a blue and white porcelain bowl with beautiful patterns on it. I didn't say thank you, I know, thank you can't express my gratitude for this meeting. Just look her in the eye and say affectionately, I'll get you a drink next time. She smiled and nodded. Suddenly I feel more intimate with the city and the whole life.
In the dead of night, the moonlight quietly sprinkled on my desk, and a guzheng song slowly flowed in the player.
I took out a set of purple sand kung fu tea set that had been idle for several years, listened to Zheng's sweet voice and followed her program step by step. Although it is a bit bumpy, my heart is as calm as a calm lake.
I poured the first sip of Pu 'er I cooked, but I just watched quietly. It's tasteless, and it smells good already. ...
I know that I stepped into Pu 'er life from Biluochun life.
Tea ceremony life perception 3 Zen tea taste
Chan cha yi Wei
At first, the relationship between tea and Buddhism was that tea provided an irreplaceable drink for monks, and monks and monasteries promoted the development of tea production and the progress of tea-making technology. Then, through the practice of tea ceremony, it is found that there are more and more similarities in ideological connotation between tea ceremony and Buddhism, such as "quietness, bitterness and vulgarity".
One is silence.
Tea ceremony pays attention to "quietness, elegance and truth" and regards "quietness" as the only way to get rid of mystery and taste. Buddhism also advocates quietness. Buddhism's meditation and atonement, and Buddhism's three studies of "abstinence, determination and wisdom" are also based on quietness. Zen is produced from "quietness". In meditation, people are inevitably tired and sleepy. At this time, only tea can refresh the mind and overcome drowsiness, and tea has become the best "friend" of Zen.
The second is "bitterness"
Buddhism takes "four truths" as its general program. That is, "suffering, determination, extinction, and Tao." Buddha believes that life is bitter, old, sick, dead, resentful and bitter. Buddhism pursues "endless suffering and turning back to the shore". Meditation is to see through the concept of life and death, to achieve a thorough understanding, and to get rid of "suffering." Tea is bitter. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Tea tastes bitter and cold, and the yin in the yin can best reduce the fire, and the fire is all diseases and the fire is clear." From bitter tea, Buddhists can have a variety of associations to help people who practice Buddhism taste life and "break" the bitter truth when drinking tea.
The third is "whatever"
Morino, a Japanese tea ceremony master, once said, "You know, the essence of tea is just boiling water and ordering tea." This is quite right. The essence of tea ceremony is to understand the mystery of the universe and the philosophy of life from trivial daily life and trivial ordinary life. Zen also requires people to understand the truth from ordinary things through meditation.
