Lu Yu (733-804), born in Hung-chien,No. Jinglingzi, Sang Zhuweng,No. Donggangzi,No. Jingling (now Tianmen, Hubei), was born in Fuzhou, Tang Dynasty. He loved tea all his life and was good at tea ceremony. He is famous for the world's first tea monograph, Tea Classic, and has made great contributions to the development of tea industry in China and the world. He is also very good at writing poems, but his poems are few in the world at present. Lu Yu was originally an abandoned orphan. At the age of three, she was taken in by Master Zhiji, the abbot of Jingling Longgai Temple on the bank of the local West Lake. Ji Gong named the child after the Book of Changes, and took the "gradual" divination. Divination said, "Hung-chien was born on the ground, and his feathers can be used as tools.". So according to the hexagrams, his names are Lu, Yu and Hung-chien. 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 is born without a brother and dies 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 will give Kong Sheng's text." . The abbot was very angry, so he punished him with heavy "cheap work" and forced him 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 one hundred and twenty 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. Occasionally, he won Zhang Heng's Du Nan 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, feeling that the sun and the moon in the temple are hard to cross. He unexpectedly escaped from Longgai Temple, learned acting in a troupe and became an actor. Although he is ugly and stutters, he is humorous and plays the clown very successfully. Later, he wrote three volumes of jokes. 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), Cui, a doctor of rites, 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 presented a white donkey, a black cow and a letter from Wen Huailai. Along the way, he went to Ma's place to pick tea on every mountain, and met the crystal water in the saddle under the spring. He was busy watching, visiting and writing down pens, and his nib was 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) from the foothills of Qixia, lived in seclusion in the mountains and wrote the Tea Classics. During this period, I often walk alone in the wild, go deep into the farmhouse, pick tea, find springs, evaluate tea, or recite scriptures and poems, hit trees with a stick, run water with my hands, and hesitate. I cry every time it gets dark. People call it "Chu Kuang meets jade". He was once worshipped as a prince's literature and served as Dafu of Taichang Temple, but neither of them took office. Lu Yu despised the powerful, ignored wealth, loved nature and upheld justice all his life. A song containing Lu Yu (the whole Tang poetry) embodies his characteristics: he does not envy the gold base, the white jade cup, the province and the sunset stage; I enjoyed the Xijiang River and came to Jingling City. Lu Yu's Tea Classic is a systematic summary of scientific knowledge and practical experience about tea before and after the Tang Dynasty. It is the crystallization of Lu Yu's hard work, perseverance, first-hand information on tea production and extensive collection of books and tea collectors' experience. As soon as {Tea Classic} came out, it was cherished and loved by all previous dynasties, and praised his pioneering work for the tea industry.
