Appreciation of Jia Pingwa's Classic Prose Tea

Taste tea and evaluate its taste and quality.

In Xi 'an, there are a group of artists who often invite each other to go to every house and chat with Yancha. Sometimes excited, talked all night, sometimes silent, silent for a long time; But in almost ten days and a half, I'm going for a walk again. Suddenly one day, one of them was Zixing, and all his friends made an appointment to go to his house.

Zixing is a poet. He is very famous in the literary world. Among these people, he should be the best. But he has no fixed place and always runs around the house. Three months ago, the trustee rented a farmhouse in the southern suburbs. He should have invited all his friends, but suddenly he went to the West Lake to attend a poetry meeting and won this year's poetry prize. Everyone thinks that the poet is very proud and has moved to a new home. Drinking tea and chatting, he must have different tastes.

It's a day in March, and the sky outside the city is unusually high and clear. The fields are soft, the grass is tender, and dandelions are in it, which is a little yellow and makes people feel a little rippling. Willow trees from a distance are smoky green and dizzy like a dream. When I got closer, I saw that the branches had no leaves, and the veins under the skin were clearly green.

There are many pedestrians on the road, some by car, some looking for something; Some people are carrying heavy loads, or buying and selling spring scenery silently. Only they are so carefree and intoxicated, and only they have won the wonderful taste of this spring.

I went to check the village, but everyone else pointed out and asked Zixing, but I didn't know. The people who live here are poets, and the respondents are even more puzzled. Finally, he said:

"Is the brother-in-law of Secretary X? It was in Qiancun. "

Everyone laughed and groaned for a long time, and became sad: the secretary's brother-in-law knew everything, but the poet didn't. What a pity for people who used to be high-spirited!

After crossing a shallow water area, a shepherd boy squatted by the water and washed the sheep with water. They stopped talking about poets and asked about Zixing's family. The shepherd boy stared for a long time, waved his finger at the village head, but still said nothing. The village head is a highland with sparse peach forests. The peach blossom is already in bloom, burning and dazzling. Everyone crossed the small bridge and Taolin was quiet. A gust of wind blew and many petals fell. Walking 500 meters deep, there is indeed an earthen house. Although the walls were not plastered, the mud was neatly arranged, black and blue, without any moss. In front of the door is an old pagoda tree, neither old nor weak, holding branches and leaves high like a big umbrella. Under the east window, three thin bamboos are clearly moving. Far away, around a fence, the tunnel outside the fence is covered with pebbles of various colors. As the slope rotates up and down, the pebbles line up like water. Nave's window was open, and Zixing sat inside, shaking his head in poetry and getting carried away.

When everyone shouted, Zixing came out like a charm and invited guests into the house. First, he said goodbye and talked about winning the prize. After making out, he claimed to have a tea treat, pointing to the back window and saying that good tea needs water, so let his wife go to a deep well to fetch water.

Looking from the back window, sure enough, the housewife just lined up on the well platform at the entrance of the village, and finally it was her turn, pulling the wheel, shaking the rope and making a baby-like sound. Finally, I raised the pitcher and came back with a smile.

They looked at the house and said it was a nice place. Although it is not prosperous, quiet and inconvenient, it is also very relaxed, guarding the peach blossoms well and "enough to live". Say that finish, the housewife brought tea, tea to eat very well, no glass cups, all small bowls of fine porcelain. Zixing asked everyone to sit quietly and drink slowly. Everyone smiled and opened the lid of the bowl, only to see a layer of white gas floating on the water, which was a series of water marks and had been calm for a long time. Zixing said, take a sip first, inhale and swallow slowly. Everyone called it "poor and exquisite" and drank half a bowl at a time.

A gentleman has a cup of tea, so he drinks and chats, and time will pass unconsciously. No one knows how many words he said or what he said. After adding a pot of tea, the housewife made a fire for the fifth time. I don't know when the conversation turned to the things on the road, and I couldn't help sighing on the coffee table. I laughed at the poet and said that it was better to abandon the pen and go into politics, and then said, "It's white in spring, and people who are harmonious build widows", pretending to be lofty. Xing Zi stood up and said with a wry smile:

"Don't look conceited, or eat more tea! How about this tea? "

They said, "Just so-so."

"What's that smell?"

"tasteless."

"Take your time."

"Very clear."

"Reproduction."

"Very light."

Zixing was constantly inspired, but his answers were not satisfactory. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "This is Longjing tea!" "

This surprised everyone. They live here and have been drinking Shaanxi green tea. They always know that drinking tea means drinking yellow soup better than water, and they never know the taste of tea. I have long heard that Longjing is the king of tea. Now I have been drinking it for a long time, but it has no special taste. It's really stupid, so I hate that Zixing didn't explain it in advance, and I blame Longjing for its bad reputation. I am convinced of the truth of the sentence "It is better to listen to the scenery than to see it".

"Why are good things so tasteless?"

Everyone was curious, and the conversation turned to this tea. There are different opinions and opinions.

The painter said, "Water is colorless, but the color is the richest."

The dramatist said, "A static field is * * *."

The poet said, "What you didn't say is what you want to say."

The novelist said, "True art ignores art."

Zi Xing said, "Tasteless and delicious."

The critic said: "Just like you, fame is actually nameless, but no happiness is actually great joy!" " "

They laughed and stood up, saying it was getting late and it was time to go home, so they went out and stood in the peach grove for a while, feeling that today's tea was tasteless and boring. They laughed a few more times and then broke up.

It was completed in Xi 'an on the afternoon of May 6th.

Guide reading

insipidness

Tea tasting is different from tea tasting. Although both are about tea, tea tasting is about recalling things related to tea, and tea tasting is about a word "quality".

The article mainly talks about a group of friends going to a poet named Zixing's house for tea. Everyone is in high spirits and has great expectations. One is that Zixing has just rented a farmhouse in the southern suburbs, and the other is that Zixing has just returned from the West Lake with this year's poetry award.

Because the destination is in the suburbs, the group also came for an outing, enjoying the early spring scenery in the suburbs while walking. The sky is particularly high and clear, the fields are particularly soft, the grass is particularly tender, the willows are green and smoky from a distance, and pedestrians on the road are carefree and intoxicated. The author said, "Only they have won the wonderful taste of spring." What's delicious? Perhaps it is a faint soft taste and has vitality. On the way, I asked Zixing's residence and made a joke. Asked the villagers where the home of a poet named Zixing was, he replied, "Is it the brother-in-law of the secretary?" Everyone is very sad. The villagers only know the secretary's brother-in-law, not the poet. Is Zixing famous? Still unknown? Perhaps it is "Chun Xue, few." I learned my lesson and stopped mentioning the poet's name. I just asked Zixing. Finally, in the depths of a peach blossom forest, I saw the purple flower that shook my head and recited poems. Zixing's farmhouse is extremely simple, with earthen fences and thin bamboo pods.

Then I entered the purpose of this trip-drinking tea. Zixing specially asked his wife to fetch water and boil water in a deep well, make tea with a small bowl of fine porcelain, and told her to "take a sip first, inhale and swallow it slowly". Everyone completely ignored it and chatted while drinking half a bowl of tea. The author said that "gentlemen meet for a cup of tea" not only shows the friendship between friends, but also shows their pursuit of taste. Jia Pingwa once said, "Eating tea is a manifestation of character, sentiment and sobriety in troubled times". However, this tea tasting, after all, passed in a hurry, and everyone was more comfortable in the chat in the far and wide. After reading this, readers will be confused. The title of the article is "Tasting Tea", but the author didn't exaggerate the pen and ink to "taste tea", which was very tasteless to read. In fact, the article is the most delicious at the end.

Zixing finally asked everyone how the tea was. Everyone was disappointed when they said "average", "tasteless", "very clear" and "very light". Finally, they told everyone that this is Longjing famous tea. We can't accept the fact that Zixing didn't explain it in advance. In fact, we should be able to guess that today's product is Zixing's famous tea for serious bedding (well water and porcelain bowls). I also blame Longjing for its bad reputation. Finally, discuss "why are good things so tasteless?" Everyone's opinions should be the most meaningful place in the whole article.

The painter said, "Water is colorless, but the color is the richest."

The dramatist said, "A static field is * * *."

The poet said, "What you didn't say is exactly what you want to say."

The novelist said, "The real art is to ignore art."

Zi Xing said, "Tasteless and delicious."

The critic said: "Just like you, fame is actually nameless, but no happiness is actually great joy!" " "

Taste the "tasteless" Longjing tea and taste the "tasteless" realm of various arts. Expanded the meaning, unforgettable. Zixing's phrase "tasteless and tasteless" expresses the highest realm of all arts, and at the same time makes Zixing's image plump up immediately. The critic's comments on Zixing echoed the story that the villagers didn't know the poet and echoed Zixing's elegance hidden in the secular world.

When we read the article "Tea Tasting", it is actually a process of "tasting". Read slowly and carefully, until the end, you can taste what the author really wants to express. Su Dongpo said that "human interest is pure joy" in "Huanxisha, drizzle and oblique wind like Xiao Han". "In Xi 'an, there are a group of artists who often invite each other to go to their homes, eat rock tea and chat. "This is not a green huan?
