Are there any allusions or stories about learning to drink tea?

Sun Haoci replaces wine with tea.

According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi Wei Yaochuan, Sun Hao, the fourth generation monarch of Wu, was addicted to alcohol. Every time he gives a banquet, visitors have to drink at least seven liters. But he attaches great importance to Wei Yao, a well-read courtier who doesn't drink much, and often makes an exception. Whenever it is difficult for Wei Yao to step down, he will "replace wine with tea". This is the earliest record of "replacing wine with tea".

Wang Meng and "Water moths"

"Shuie" refers to the disaster of drowning. Wang Meng, a native of Jin Dynasty, especially likes drinking tea. Not only does he drink tea several times a day, but he also insists that guests drink it together when they come. But most of the literati at that time were not used to drinking tea, so when they went to Wang Meng's house, everyone was always a little scared. Before leaving, they joked that "there is water today."

See "Shi Shuo Xin Yu": "Wang Meng likes to drink tea, and everyone who wants to drink it suffers from it. Every time they have to wait, they will say' there is water today' ". But today people give love tea the meaning of "water".

Wang Su and "Cheese Slave"

Su, that is, Wang Su, the word Gong Yi, is from Shandong today. Because his father was killed by Qi, he defected from Jiankang to Wei. Wei Xiaodi immediately named him a general with a long history. Later, Wang Su made a meritorious military service for Wei and won the title of "General Zhennan".

When Wang Su was in the Southern Dynasties, he liked drinking tea. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, although he did not change his original hobby, he was also good at eating northern food such as mutton and cheese. When people ask, "What is tea like cheese?" At that time, he thought that tea could not be a slave to cheese, that is, the taste of tea was not under cheese.

But later, people called tea "cheese slave", which completely reversed Wang Su's original intention.

Li Deyu and Huishan Spring

Li Deyu is the prime minister of Tang Wuzong. He is good at distinguishing water from spring water. Tang Geng's "Dou Cha Ji" contains: "Li Xi, the Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty, drinks Huishan Spring, and Wuxi is a post station for Li Deyu to deliver water on his way to Beijing, which is called" delivering water ".

Soon after, an old monk came to visit Li Deyu, saying that he wanted to drink Huiquan water, so he didn't have to go to Wuxi to send it, as long as he got water from the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.

Li Deyu laughed at its absurdity, so he secretly asked someone to take a jar of Huiquan water and a jar of Haotian Guanshui, marked it, sent it to the old monk, tasted it with other springs, and found out Huiquan water. After rewarding them one by one, the old monk took out two cans from them.

Li Deyu opened the target and saw that it was Huiquan Water and Haotian Water View. He was so surprised that he had to believe it, so he no longer needed to transport Huiquan water by "sending water". This story also illustrates the old monk's understanding of spring water and the strict requirements of people in ancient times for making tea.

A mean teacher

Bitter teacher is another name for tea.

Pi Guangye, the son of Pi Rixiu, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, was intelligent since childhood. I can write poetry at the age of ten, and my family style is very good. Leather industry is handsome, talkative and charming, like a fairy middleman.

One day, Pi Guang's cousin invited him to enjoy the new orange and gave a banquet. On that day, the court gathered dignitaries, and the banquet was extremely rich. As soon as the leather industry entered the door, it turned a blind eye to the fresh and sweet oranges and urgently sold tea. As a result, the waiter had to hold a large cup of tea soup, and Pi Guangye held a tea bowl, improvising: "If you can't see a willing family, meet the bitter teacher first." Since then, tea has been nicknamed "the bitter Lord".
