About Mengding Mountain Tea Poems

1. A poem by Su Dongpo describing Mengding Mountain

Among Su Shi's poems, two representative works related to Mengding Mountain tea include "Shiyuan Sencha" and "Send to Cai Zihua" head.

"Shiyuan Sencha"

The crab's eyes have grown beyond the fish's eyes, and the swish is about to make the pines sing in the wind.

From the velvet velvet, fine beads fall, spinning around the bowl with light snow.

The silver bottle of purgative soup is the second most praised, but I don’t know the ancients’ intention of boiling water.

Don’t you see, in the old days, Li Sheng was a hospitable guest and cooked the food with his own hands?

See you again. Today, Lu Gong makes tea and imitates Western Shu, and Dingzhou porcelain is carved with red jade.

I am now poor, sick and hungry, and I don’t have a jade bowl to hold my eyebrows.

Let’s learn from the way the public makes tea and drink it, and follow it with bricks, furnaces and stones.

There is no need to hold your intestines and stomach to read five thousand volumes of text. I hope you can sleep enough when the day is high.

"Send to Cai Zihua"

When my old friend sent me east, he planted lychees in his hand to wait for my return.

The lychees have turned white, and they are like guests from the south of the Yangtze River who have not returned.

The spring water in the south of the Yangtze River is like the sky, and the spring water boats in the West Lake are broken.

I want to see the riverside road in Tsing Yi, where white fish and purple bamboo shoots don’t matter money.

The three elders with frosty beards are like frosty junipers. Who are the old friends now?

Don't bother Tang Ju to ask about the title, but he sent Magu to crawl on his back. 2. How to understand the sentence "The water in the Yangtze River is the tea on the top of Mengding Mountain"

"The water in the Yangtze River is the tea on the top of Mengding Mountain".

This is the most famous tea couplet among poems about tea. It is said that teahouses in the past used to hang these tea couplets at the door as signs.

To this day, in teahouses in Chengdu, Chongqing, Yongchuan and other places, you can still see such a tea couplet: Although there is no heart water of the Yangtze River, there is tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain "The heart water of the Yangtze River, the top of Mengshan Mountain" "Serving Tea" can be said to be the "treasure of the mountain" in Mengshan. Inscriptions can be seen in many places in Mengshan. It is a symbol of Mengshan tea's long history and lofty status. However, there has been no clear explanation for a long time as to why there is only one couplet of this joint sentence, where it comes from, and how to understand it.

This couplet originally came from a ditty "Spring is early on the top of Mengshan Mountain" by Li Desai in the Yuan Dynasty: Spring is early on the top of Mengshan Mountain, and the Yangtze River is full of flavor. Tao's bachelors are more coquettish. They should laugh down, sell gold tents, and drink lambs.

Li Dezai greatly praised tea drinking as an elegant and noble act, and was very contemptuous of the vulgar behavior of those who were not familiar with tea matters. The whole article is full of admiration for drinking tea.

Therefore, "Spring is early on the top of Mengshan Mountain, and the water in the heart of the Yangtze River is delicious" are all expressions of ambition and emotion through scenery. The items entrusted to him, "Tea from Mengding Mountain" and "Yangtze River Heart Water", are the best teas in his mind that are holy and elegant, representing the best quality and the highest realm.

Good tea requires good water, just like red flowers and green leaves. As the saying goes, "Tea is the god of water; water is the body of tea. If it is not true water, its spirit cannot be revealed, and if it is not refined tea, how can we see its body."

The quality of tea depends on the quality of water. The quality of water directly affects the quality of tea. This is a common truth. The ancients did not drink tea by brewing it like today, but by boiling it and drinking it. The so-called "cooking tea" was very particular about the water used.

Lu Yu’s "Tea Classic" has discussed the issue of water use. About 100 years later, a tea master named Zhang Youxin wrote "Jiancha Water Record", which was dedicated to the water suitable for tea in the world, and rated Zhongling Spring in the "heart of the Yangtze River" as "the best spring in the world".

Zhongling Spring is located in Jinshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. It consists of three springs, Nanling, Zhongling and Beiling. Zhongling spring has the most water. The three springs are collectively called Zhongling Spring and converge at Jinshan Temple in the Yangtze River. Next to it, the story of the White Snake Lady flooding Jinshan Temple comes from here. There is a famous ferry here called Yangziyi, and this section of the Yangtze River is called the Yangtze River.

It is said that Jinshan Temple stood in the middle of the Yangtze River and was surrounded by water. According to the record of "Zhonglingquan Ji", when fetching water, one must take a boat to the center of the river according to the time, and use special instruments to reach into the grotto to get water. "If you search a thousand feet, you will find the real spring; if you search shallow and deep one after another, it will be less than the law." That is not the true taste of Zhongling."

Later, due to the sedimentation of the Yangtze River, the river course continued to move northward. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jinshan began to connect with the land on the south bank, and Zhongling Spring in Jinshan was no longer the "water in the center of the river." From this, we can see that "Yangtze River Heart Water" refers to the "Zhongling Spring" located in the center of the Yangtze River. It is a kind of good water suitable for tea, and together with "Mengshan Mountain Camellia", it constitutes the best tea.

Chen Jiang of the Ming Dynasty wrote in "Distinguishing Things": "As the saying goes, the water in the Yangtze River is the tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain." It can be seen that this joint sentence has emerged from the ditty recorded by Li De and formed a popular proverb. It has also been used as a tea couplet and has been widely circulated.

According to records, Zheng Banqiao also wrote this couplet for others. Since the tea couplet is a unique literary style that is most easily accepted by people, "the water in the Yangtze River, the tea on the top of the Mengshan Mountain" has rich connotations and far-reaching artistic conception, so it has become the "first product" in the tea couplet.

In the process of spreading, "Jiangxin water" is sometimes also used as "Jiangzhong water"; "Tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain" is sometimes passed down as "Tea on the top of Mengding Mountain", including some works. Quoted in this way, since it has a specific meaning, the literal change does not affect its original meaning.

In Mengshan, there is also a story about the origin of this joint sentence: Su Dongpo used river water to deal with his teacher Wang Anshi.

It was said that Su Dongpo wanted to cross the Yangtze River, so Wang Anshi asked him to take water from the center of the river to make tea. Su Dongpo was obsessed with landscapes, and he only remembered it when he came ashore, so he used river water to deal with the teacher, but Wang Anshi found out.

Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a famous poem about Mengshan tea: "The only thing we know and hear in Qin is Lushui, and the old knowledge in tea is Mengshan." This couplet comes from Bai Juyi's poem "Qin and Tea" in his later years. It very typically expresses his mentality of entertaining poetry, wine, Qin and tea, and his deep love for Mengshan tea and Lushui music.

The Wuwu is in the group, and Tao Tao is willful throughout his life. Since I resigned from office, I have been drunk in the spring, and have been idle since I stopped studying.

The only source of knowledge in Qinli is the Lushui River, and the source of tea is the Mengshan Mountain. I have been with you for a long time, but who knows that I will return to you now?

This poem appropriately expresses what you want in life, a harmonious state of mind, and a tranquil and leisurely mood. "Lushui" is said to be a very famous tune at that time, both layered and very popular.

As for the "old things in tea" in "Tea is the old place in Mengshan", some people interpret it as "the hometown of tea". In fact, the word "老老" should mean "old friends and old friendships".

The following couplet, "I have been with you for a long time when I was poor, but I will return it now." It means that no matter whether you are poor and frustrated or have good luck and smooth sailing, whether you live in peace and leisure or have a broad career, it is "Lu." Shuiqu" and "Mengshan Tea" are two old friends who have been together for a long time. They have been very fond of Mengshan Tea, which was already tribute to the royal family. Liu Yuxi, Meng Jiao, Su Shi, Lu You, Mei Yaochen, Wen Yanbo, Wen Ting and other famous literati in the Tang and Song dynasties all wrote excellent works about Mengding tea. Literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties also left a large number of works describing Mengding tea. 3. The development history of Mengding Mountain Tea

The heart of the Yangtze River is the tea on the top of Mengding Mountain.

Introduction to Mengding Tea Mengding Tea is produced in Mengshan, Sichuan. Mengshan Mountain spans Mingshan County and Ya'an County.

The ancients said here that "if you look up, you will see the sky and wind are high and smooth, and everything will be desolate; if you look down, you will see the Qiang River flowing around, surrounded by mountains, tea borders, cedar paths, exotic rocks and flowers, which is enough to be called a scenic spot." There are five peaks in Mengshan Mountain: Shangqing, Water chestnut, Piluo, Jingquan and Ganlu, also known as the five peaks.

According to legend, more than 2,000 years ago, monk Ganlu Puhui and Zen master Wu Lizhen "brought the seeds of spiritual tea and planted them among the five peaks." There are five peaks in Mengshan Mountain, with Shangqing Peak being the highest among them.

Wu Lizhen planted seven tea trees on Shangqing Peak. This tea tree is "not as tall as a foot, neither born nor destroyed, and is very unusual." It has a "sweet and clear taste, yellow and green color. When you drink it in the cup, the fragrance clouds cover it and linger for a long time." Drinking this tea for a long time is good for the spleen and stomach, and can prolong life. Therefore, it has the reputation of "fairy tea".

Tea trees were planted in Mengding as early as the Western Han Dynasty. During the reign (53 BC), Wu Lizhen, a county man, personally planted seven "Lingming seeds" among the five peaks. They are no taller than a foot, neither born nor destroyed, and are very unusual."

This is the earliest written record of artificial tea cultivation in my country. Mengding tea, known as "fairy tea", is famous both at home and abroad for its unique quality, exquisite craftsmanship, graceful appearance, long history and splendid tea culture, and is well-known in history.

"Records of Yunnan" says: "Famous mountains produce tea. There is a mountain called Mengshan, which stretches for dozens of miles in the southwest of the county. An ancient poem goes: "There are many beautiful ridges on the top of Mengshan, and no evil is born. "The grass grows Shuming".
