Chapter 34 Tea Ceremony and Kendo

The tea is brought.

Seven things about tea stoves, tea stoves, ash bearings, charcoal buckets, kettles, water bottles, tea fans, and wipes are on the stage one by one.

The six uses of tea ceremony, tea rules, tea plucking, tea leaking, tea needles, tea clips, and tea barrels are presented one by one.

Flowers are solemn and elegant, and they also have their own demeanor when they lean over and raise their hands.

"Tea instruments pay attention to the four characters of quality, simplicity, elegance, purity, and all these spoons and bottles need to be carefully cared for and maintained, and should be treated with a normal heart and respectful heart. People in the tea ceremony call it "preparation instrument". The foundation of "preparation instruments" is actually about the word "respect for the instruments". The tea ceremony is also a benevolent way. The cup is also divided into three talents. The cup covers the cup, which is the sky, the cup holds the cup under the ground, the cup is in the middle, and the cup is in the middle, and the person is the foundation of the tea ceremony."

The locust firewood in the tea stove was ignited, and everyone scooped two scoops of spring water into the pot and then said, "There is the most important thing in this tea, water is on the mountains and rivers, in the rivers, and under the wells. Active fire also requires live water. The best is like water. Water and fire are used to combine water to make a pot of good tea with four aspects of color, aroma, taste, and aura!"

Hua Jia's words were very serious. Although they were talking about tea, Wang Jiu always felt that Hua Jia's words had implications, so he said it specifically for himself. After a few flashes of inspiration in his mind, it was blurry, as if it was close or far, and he could not grasp it for a while.

Wang Jiu was silent, and everyone else closed their eyes. His quiet and elegant expression seemed to be enjoying some silent music.

On the tea stove, the flames rising from the locust firewood gently licked the bottom of the kettle. This set of things used to cook tea seemed to be a bit old...

But Wang Jiu, who had no idea about the tea ceremony, had no way of distinguishing their value.

A breeze hit outside the window, and Wang Jiu smelled the unique fragrance of the fruit trees.

The sunset in the distance was still dazzling, but it had turned dark purple at this moment. The last afterglow before the sun set embeds the colorful clouds at the farthest edge of the colorful clouds...

The two sat in silence.

There are "three joys" and "four wonders" when tasting tea.

One is to "know the gods only". One person is in the green mountains and clear waters of nature, his heart is wandering around the world, his spirits are in harmony with nature, and he forgets both things and me.

The second is to "get fun with each other". The two of them talk about tea and have fun without saying too much.

The third is "all people will gain wisdom". "If three people walk, there will be my teacher." It is also a great pleasure for everyone to gather to drink tea and communicate with each other.

Nowadays, what Wang Jiu and Hua are all about "interesting in taste" and obtaining the four wonders of "simple, secluded, spiritual, and distant". "Sheng", exquisite, profound; "silent", quiet, profound; "spiritual", spiritual, wonderful, spiritual; "far", high, and distant.

These four wonders have nothing to do with matter and belong to the artistic conception of beauty.

Looking at the Flowers in front of him, Wang Jiu suddenly had a little more insight. In a sense, tea ceremony and swordsmanship are the same. Both are pursuing an existence that is most in line with the "Tao" between movement and stillness.

The former is just like Hua Jia in front of you. Although not many people can reach the state of "taking stillness in movement", Hua Jia Jia has obviously exceeded this state, or in other words, Hua Jia can reach the state of "taking stillness in peace" at this time.

Sword Taoism is like martial arts, "unmoving like a mountain" is a state that most people cannot reach in their lifetime, but when they reach this level, you will find that the road ahead is longer and farther----"movement is like a mountain".

What kind of state is this that can only be looked up to like stars?

One movement is not as good as one stillness, one stillness is not as good as one movement, there is stillness in movement, there is movement in stillness, neither moving nor stillness, neither still nor moving, movement is also stillness, and stillness is also movement.

In the highest realm of the sword path "Tang Poetry Sword Art" left by Wang Jiu's father Wang Bo, there was once a saying, "The highest realm of sword path is far away from me---no movement or tranquility, this is the highest realm of sword path!"

Almost in an instant, Wang Jiu's mind seemed to be enlightened somewhere... His heart lightened, and the 36,000 pores all over his body seemed to be breathing. With a faint smile on his face, Wang Jiu closed his eyes.

The Tea Pavilion is quiet when it is still in the middle of the Tea Pavilion.

Yun'er, who was guarding the door, felt that at that moment, there were two stone men sitting cross-legged in the room.

After a long time, the water in the kettle in the room began to boil "puff...", and the two of them opened their eyes at the same time and smiled slightly.

"This is a boil!" Hua's expression is always so elegant, and his voice never seemed to have rushed since he entered this Ming Pavilion. "The Tea Talk says: 'The soup is the command of tea. Seeing that it boils like a fish's eyes and has a slight sound, it is a boil. The edge of the thorn is like a continuous bead, it is a boil. The tung wave is a boil. The drum wave is a boil. The one boil is too childish, it is called a baby boil; the three boil is too old, it is called Baishou Tang; if the beads float on the water surface, the sound is like a pine wave, it is a boil, which is just the right time.' So..." Hua everyone blinked her eyes and felt a little naive, "It will take until the second boil to drink good tea!"

Soon, the water in the kettle had boiled twice.

As the saying goes, "Water is the mother of tea, and utensils are the father of tea." The one used to make tea is a set of purple clay teapots, purple-black, with a melon-shaped shaped , round mouth, round belly, ring feet, a melon-shaped cover surface and round button, and there are curved flow and curved handles on both sides of the abdomen.

Put Dahongpao in the pot, and everyone put the water on the edge of the pot and said, "This tea is about 'high rinse and low sprinkling'. High rinse can make the fragrance of tea evaporate faster, but do not rush directly to the heart of the pot!" As soon as the water rinse, those top-quality Dahongpao immediately rolled in the water...

This made the tea, everyone covered the lid of the pot.

"Before drinking tea, you have to pour the cans," Huajia said, while pouring the hot water on the pot. "The cans have a function: first, make the heat air attack inside and outside, so that the tea fragrance can quickly evaporate, and add the heat; second, stop for a short while, and the water in the can is completely dry, which means that the tea is ripe; third, rinse the tea foam outside the pot!"

Drinking jars, hot cups...

Wang Jiu said nothing and just looked carefully from the side.

The bright red tea was poured into the cup, and the white smoke appeared faintly above the cup, without any smell.

After the bloody tea was in the mouth, Wang Jiu knew why this tea could be called the best.

The tea that you first enters your mouth makes you feel no smell, but when you let it slide gently in your mouth for two rounds, the slow tea fragrance is just released. It is an extremely restrained feeling, or rather a sense of artistic conception - a great skill and return to simplicity and return to nature.

When it slips into the throat, the misty tea breath can slowly spread from the inside of the body to the whole body...

Before Wang Jiu came, he was very puzzled. Why did everyone invite him to the mansion to have a tea? At this point, Wang Jiu felt that there was no need to ask.

Wang Jiu is very grateful to everyone’s feelings for everyone. This is exactly what everyone wants for everyone.
