Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi's Story of Making Tea in the Yangtze River

Let's talk about Wang Anshi first. He once wrote a poem praising chrysanthemums: The west wind spent a night in the garden, blowing yellow flowers all over the place, but it's not over yet. Su Dongpo happened to be here when the guests visited. After reading these two sentences, he began to write: autumn English is not as good as spring flowers, and he said that he would sing with the poet seriously. This poem is also a topic in the political examination paper of 1998. Of course, therefore, Su Dongbo was exiled to Huangzhou, Hubei Province, which is today's Huanggang City. Before he left, Wang Anshi told him to bring some water from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River when he returned to Beijing. In the autumn of the first year of Huangzhou, Su Dongbo understood that the chrysanthemum in Huangzhou could not drop its petals, which was a harvest of wisdom.

It was not until the boat passed the middle gorge that I remembered to get water and asked the boatman to turn around. The boatman said that the water in the Three Gorges is so fast that it is difficult to talk back. The water in the Three Gorges is first-class, isn't it from the Middle Gorge? Su Dongbo wanted to be rational, so he took XiaXiaShui to Beijing. 2 ~0 B' q, M5 @2 E) c+ n tea, culture, white tea, green tea, black tea, oolong tea, Tieguanyin, Shan fir, Pu 'er, teapot, tea culture, tradition, photography, music. Wang Anshi was very happy to send water to him, so he stayed with him to try new tea and took out the new Mengding tea given by the emperor. Su Dongpo didn't wait for Wang Anshi to speak. He first talked about Huangzhou's experience and explained Wang Anshi's profound meaning. Chrysanthemums do have petals. After the tea was made, Wang Anshi poured himself and Su Dongbo a cup, only seven points, Su Dongpo thought. The old man is very stingy. He refuses to fill a cup of tea. Wang Anshi took the tea, took a sip, made a comment and said with a frown, your water is the Three Gorges water, not the middle gorge water. Su Dongpo got a fright and explained the situation quickly. Wang Anshi said calmly; The water in the Three Gorges is sweet, pure and lively, making tea well, but the upper gorge is frivolous and the lower gorge is turbid. Only the water in the middle gorge is light and delicate, and making tea is the best. Su Dongpo, like an awakening, suddenly woke up. Wang Anshi added; See the old man pour tea, only seven points. You must have arranged the old man's faults in your heart. Su Dongpo was said to be the center of the matter, and he was too busy to say it. Wang Anshi added: This Yangtze River water is hard-won. You know it yourself, you don't need to rap. This is a tribute of top-class tea, with 365 leaves and 20 kilograms of tea a year. The emperor only gave money, pouring tea for seven points, which shows the preciousness of tea and respect for the giver. Fill the cup for your donkey. Can you cherish it? Good wine is a little too much, just eight points. Su Dongbo didn't dare to respond to a word. From then on, it spread to seven-point tea and eight-point wine.
