The weather in Fuzhou is April 7th.

According to the predecessors, tea is "clear and drinkable", and Bing Xin does not drink tea according to the ancient method. First of all, her tea is narrow, and jasmine tea is suspected of stealing tea fragrance with flowers. She told me that she was thirsty when she was young. She poured half a cup of boiling water first, then poured a little strong tea from her father's bitter cup and mixed it up. This kind of practice, like Zhou Zuoren, an old man who drinks bitter tea, is to mix "tea bitters" and drink them together, which is not a real drink. Only that after her marriage with Wu Wenzao, although the Japanese tea set given by Zhou Zuoren was furnished at home, including a teapot with a bamboo handle and four blue and white teacups with lids, the teapot was filled with only cold water. When they were married and living in Yan Nan Garden of Peking University, one day Wen Yiduo and Liang Shiqiu got together, just sat down and said they would go out for a while and then go back. They bought cigarettes and tea. Since then, Bing Xin's family has consciously prepared tea and cigarettes for the guests.

However, Bing Xin was born in a family of tea people, and he was endowed with superior conditions for tea tasting and discussion. I didn't know how to taste tea until after middle age. Let's talk about Bing Xin's grandfather first. He is a basic tea man. It can be seen from the concern about the water used for making tea that he uses rainwater instead of well water to make tea. The weather in Fuzhou is wet and rainy. Every time it rains heavily, the roof tiles are washed away by the rain, and Xie Shuan uses bamboo pipes to guide the rain from the eaves to large and small water tanks. These water tanks are covered with big wooden covers, and the big wooden covers are still open with small covers. When making tea, just open the Xiao Mu cover and scoop out the stored rainwater with a small spoon. This kind of water is the purest and has no earthy taste. Bing Xin's father also kept his grandfather's habit until his family moved to Beijing. Because there was little rain, he had to make tea with tap water. However, he must put more tea every time to make the tea smell drown out the water.

Bing Xin was impressed by the behavior of adults. During the Anti-Japanese War, the whole family took refuge in Chongqing, and Bing Xin, who lived in Geleshan, Chongqing, was bored. "He used the pseudonym" man "to write game literature about women to earn money, while brewing jasmine scented chips that Fujian folks gave me to quench my thirst. At this time, I always think of my late grandfather and father, and feel that tea is particularly fragrant. Although I dare not brew too much, I have been drinking since then. " Bing Xin's history of drinking tea can be counted from here, and among them, the longing for relatives in his hometown is the charm of drinking green tea. During his life in Geleshan, Lao She often came to her house and asked for tea every time. In a poem he sent to Wu Wenzao and Bing Xin, he wrote: "Middle-aged people are happy to go to their old home, sweating profusely, and say hello to tea. Fighting for cake bait with * * * children, temporarily forgetting that fighting is expensive. If you drink too much, you will get drunk, lie by the window and praise your poem sentence by sentence. If you want to go, you will still get hurt. Just point to the moon hook in front of the steps. "

At the age of 89, Bing Xin wrote "My Tea", saying, "Now I make a cup of jasmine scented chips every morning, plus a few chrysanthemums ..."-I still can't drink clearly, but I can't ask for such a heart that loves tea, can I? ! What's more, she pinned her affection and homesickness on this small cup of jasmine tea-for this reason, she specially wrote: "My hometown Fujian is both the hometown of tea and the hometown of jasmine tea. Before liberation, although Sichuan, Hubei, Guangdong, Taiwan Province and other provinces also produced jasmine tea, its varieties and scenting techniques were all transmitted from Fujian. There are many varieties of scented tea, such as jasmine, magnolia, pearl orchid, rose, zebina and so on. But our family traditionally likes jasmine tea, because jasmine tea not only has the unique fragrance of tea, but also has a strong jasmine fragrance. This is a touching article.

Bing Xin (190010.00.05 ─1999.02.28) was born in Changle, Fujian, at the age of 99. His original name was Xie Wanying and his pen name was Bing Xin. Modern famous women writers, children writers and poets are deeply admired by people.

1900 10 was born in a family of naval officers with patriotism and reformism in Fuzhou. Her father Xie took part in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to fight against the Japanese invaders. Later, he founded the naval school in Yantai and became the principal.

Bing Xin moved to Shanghai with her family seven months after her birth.

When I was 4 years old, I moved to Yantai, Shandong Province, and lived by the sea in Yantai for a long time. The sea has cultivated her temperament and broadened her mind; Her father's patriotism and ambition to strengthen the country also deeply influenced her young mind. One summer evening, Bing Xin and her father were walking on the beach together. On the beach, facing the red light of the sunset glow, Bing Xin asked his father to talk about the sea in Yantai. At this time, her father told his little daughter that there are many beautiful harbors along the northern coast of China, such as Ahava, Dalian and Qingdao, which are all beautiful, but they are all occupied by foreigners. "It doesn't belong to us in China" "Only Yantai belongs to us!" Father's words were deeply imprinted on young Bing Xin's mind. In Yantai, Bing Xin began to study. During her initial study at home, she came into contact with China's classical literature. At the age of seven, she read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. At the same time, I also read Say No Series published by the Commercial Press, including The Story of a Piece of Meat by Dickens, a famous British writer, and other critical realism works in the19th century. When reading the story of "A Piece of Meat for the Rest of My Life", when poor David ran away from the abusive shopkeeper and went to find his menstruation, Bing Xin cried and broke the bun that his mother gave her as a snack.
