Chapter 44 Calligraphy
In the Doumen Pavilion, the musician played "Qing Yue". Gao Mang took out five purple bamboo hat cups from the tea box, and a bamboo-linked beam-carrying teapot, placed it in rows in front of him. He immediately lifted up the silver pot on the small stove beside him and scalded the teapot and cup with boiling water.
He took out the tea leaves encapsulated by bamboo tubes, shoveled some with bamboo slices and put them in the teapot, and shoveled out some of them on the bamboo tiles, and handed them to Chen Xuanli.
This is not only to allow the emperor to appreciate the appearance of the tea, but also to test whether it is poisonous.
Li Longji was very curious. The tea was green all over, shaped like a sparrow tongue, and it looked very beautiful. When I leaned into my nose and smelled it lightly, I had a fresh fragrance.
Li Longji pondered and said nothing. Under his inertial thinking, the first thing he thought of was what kind of spices and seasonings to use to match this fragrance.
However, to his surprise, Gao Mang directly poured the hot water from the silver pot into the kettle of the kettle, and immediately poured the tea soup into the fair cup of tea splitting.
After scalding the cup with tea water, Gao Mang smiled and said, "This is to wash tea. One is to wash away the dust from the tea leaves, and the other is to stimulate the aroma of the tea leaves itself."
As he spoke, he placed four bamboo mats in front of the four people, and then used bamboo tweezers to hold the washed straw cup and put it on the tea mat.
Pour the hot water into the teapot again, and get the tea out, and divide the tea. Gao Mang's movements are like flowing water, with no more or less, and there is an indescribable simple beauty.
"Everyone, please have a tea." Gao Mang made a call, picked up the master's cup in front of him, and took a sip of it with pleasure.
Is this the end?
Li Longji and his two confidants looked surprised and looked at the teacup in front of them.
In the open straw hat cup, the tea soup is clear and clear, and to put it bluntly, there is nothing. Is this going to drink to be lonely?
Chen Xuanli admired it very much. It was so good that he boiled water in the silver pot, and the ingredients were only tea leaves. The tea soup was at a glance, and there was no room for poisoning.
No matter how confused they were, they still followed Princess Yuzhen's appearance, picked up the teacup and sniffed it first, then took a sip.
"Holding the elephant, the world goes; going without harm, peace and peace, joy and bait, passers-by stop. The exit of the Tao is light and tasteless, and it is not visible, it is not enough to hear, and it is not enough to use."
Gao Mang said leisurely, "It's tasteless and tasteless, it's a ritual tea."
Either influenced by music or blessed by the "Tactic Book of Morality", Li Longji calmed down, and the tea soup felt calm and a slight bitter feeling when he entered his mouth, but then a fragrance and sweetness spread in his mouth.
Wonderful!
Emperor Li Longji's brows stretched out, and he felt a little excited in his heart.
Turn the complex into simplicity, return to the essence, dilute the temperament, and the bitterness will be sweet. The name of Taoist tea is truly not bullied.
The Tang Dynasty was strong, broad and diverse. From this cup of tea, Li Longji explored an unusual elegant and simple aesthetic artistic conception.
Li Longji was amazed. Looking at Gao Mang's simple and natural actions when making tea, it was so consistent with the elegant Taoist rhyme.
"Zi Shou," Li Longji quickly waved to Zhang Jiuling and the others who were watching chess. Of course, Daoyun Tea would share it with famous scholars.
He didn't believe that Taoist tea was invented by Gao Mang. The biggest possibility was that Sima Chengzhen returned to nature and followed nature, so that he created this kind of Taoist tea that is more peaceful than the best, and even the ritual of tea ceremony.
As Li Longji expected, after Zhang Jiuling and Han Zemu and others had a lot of praise after they had a good taste in the ceremony, their temperament was so consistent.
Li Linfu exaggeratedly said: "From Zhuangzi's "Nanhua True Sutra", Xiaoyaoyou!"
Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes at Li Linfu. Zhang Jiuling even quoted the original text. The saint also pointed out the source before. Why do you talk too much?
Gao Mang looked at the emperor and said crisply: "The quail is only a branch, and the mole is only hungry and thirsty to drink a stomach full of water. Yizhitang is actually the name I gave to my study, and it is also to remind myself at all times."
Everyone nodded, Li Longji remained silent. He seemed to have a trace of grievance from the three words Gao Mang expressed his feelings.
Li Longji was not sure. These three words were thought out by Gao Mang himself, or Sima Chengzhen deliberately designed them, but no matter what, deep down, Li Longji really felt ashamed of Sima Chengzhen.
The young emperor of Luoyang Liang Shengqing wrote "Good virtue carries things", Han Zemu, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, wrote "Heaven rewards hard work", and Li Shizhi, the censor, wrote "The best good is like water". Yes, the three characters are the three tricks of "Lao Gan style" in the legend of later generations.
The emperor started to write, and everyone wrote in the eight-part official script.
King Ning, who was joining in the fun, also left behind a bunch of ink treasures, and even Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli wrote a couplet each.
Gao Mang smiled. These words were treasures in the Tang Dynasty, and they could not be bought with money. If you hang them out, it would be more effective than amulets.
Gao Mang looked at Zhang Jiuling and asked again: "Zhang Xiang, I still want to ask you to write a couplet, is that OK?"
Zhang Jiuling was stunned and nodded immediately. If you can't, you can do it. Who told you to be a little immortal master? I am short of people?
Zhang Jiuling stood in front of the desk and asked with his pen, "Huairou, what words are written?"
