all one's life

According to New Tang Book and Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu was abandoned because of his ugly appearance. Tang Kaiyuan was abandoned in the 21st year (AD 733). I don't know who his parents are Later, it was adopted by monk Zhiji, abbot of Jinling Longgai Temple in West Gate of Jinling (Tianmen County, Hubei Province).

Autobiography of Ruben is a biography written by Lu Yu at the age of twenty-nine, with high credibility. In his autobiography, he wrote: I don't know who is the word Hung-chien, which looks like Zhong Xuan and Yang Meng; Like stuttering with Ziyun. Lu Yu Biography of the New Tang Dynasty also records that he was a little older and made a gradual divination with the Book of Changes. Oracle said: Hung-chien is on the ground, and his feathers can be used as tools. Therefore, according to divination, the Zen master Zhiqi named Lu, Jade and Hung-chien. Or to put it another way, Lu Yu took the Book of Changes as his own, and got the hexagram of "Gradually": Hung-chien is on the ground, and the feather can be used as a weapon and luck. It means that Hongyan flies in the sky, with avenues in all directions, two feathers dancing and orderly movements, which is a good omen to follow. According to this divination, Lu Yu, who had no name at that time, decided to take Lu as his surname, Yu as his name and Hung-chien as his word. This seems to show: this is cheap, but it is the arrogance of heaven; From parents, like heaven. Lu Yu learned to read Chinese, recite Buddhist scriptures, and learn to make tea with yellow scrolls and chimes.

Although living in the pure land of Buddhism and hearing Sanskrit every day, Lu Yu was unwilling to convert to Buddhism and cut his hair and become a monk. When he was nine years old, Master Zhiji once asked him to copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha, but Lu Yu asked: A disciple of the teacher was born without a brother and died without an heir. Confucianism says there are three kinds of unfilial, and there is no queen. Can monks be called filial piety? And openly said: Yu Jiangwen gave Kong Sheng. Hearing this, the abbot was very angry, so he was punished with heavy servitude and forced to repent and turn back. Lu Yu was sent to sweep the temple, build a monk's toilet, build a mud wall, build a tile house, and herd cattle with 120 hooves. Instead of being discouraged and giving in, Lu Yu became more eager for knowledge. He learned Chinese characters without paper, and used bamboo to draw cattle backs as books. He occasionally gets Dunan Fu. Although he didn't know its words, he sat in danger and read aloud. When Jigong learned about it, he was afraid that he would be influenced by foreign classics and lose his education. He was also locked in a temple, ordered to cut flowers and sent the old man to take care of it.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Yu 12 years old, it is difficult to see the sun and the moon in the temple. When people were unprepared, he escaped from Longgai Temple, went to a troupe to study acting and became an actor. Although he is ugly and stutters, he is humorous and witty. He plays a clown very successfully. Later, he wrote a three-volume joke book "On Negotiation".

As the saying goes, Renji has his own nature, and Lu Yu is no exception. In the fifth year of Tang Tianbao, Richie, the satrap of Jingling, saw Lu Yu's outstanding performance at a state party, and appreciated his talent and ambition very much. He immediately gave him a book of poems and recommended him to study in Zou Fuzi, who lived in seclusion in Huomen Mountain. In the 11th year of Tianbao (AD 752), Doctor Li was demoted to Sima Jingling. That year, Lu Yu said goodbye to Master Zou. Cui and Yu met, and they often walked together, drinking tea and talking about poetry and papers. In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Lu Yu went to Bashanxia and Sichuan to inspect tea affairs. Before leaving, Cui sent a white donkey, a black cow and a letter from Wen Huailai. Along the way, he went to the horse to pick tea on every mountain, and tasted water in the saddle when he met the spring water. He is too busy to watch, too busy to visit, too busy to record, and his tips are full. In the first year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (AD 758), Lu Yu came to Shengzhou (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and lived in qixia temple to study tea affairs. The next year, I lived in Danyang. In the first year of Shangyuan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 760), Lu Yu came to Tiaoxi (now Xing Wu, Zhejiang Province) from the foothills of Qixia, lived in seclusion in the mountains and wrote the Book of Tea behind closed doors. During the period, I often walk alone in the wild, go deep into the farmhouse, pick tea to find springs, taste tea, or recite scriptures and poems, hit trees with sticks, and run water with my hands. Every time it gets dark, I come back crying. People call it Chu today.

He once worshipped as a prince's literature and moved to Taichang Temple to congratulate him, but he did not take office.
