Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 366: From the Tea Classic

"The master once said that a gentleman is like water, and a villain is like oil." Li Xin continued to talk freely. "The original meaning of this sentence is to say that gentlemen know how to seek common ground while reserving differences and know how to tolerate. I think this is not the role of water in tea soup. ? It harmonizes and accommodates all the flavors, and this becomes tea."

Looking at Li Xin's serious expression, Chen Yin was a little bit dumbfounded. But let alone, Li Xin's nonsense does have a little meaning.

"As the saying goes, jade can't become a tool without cutting it. Perhaps the process from water to tea is a process by which a gentleman sharpens himself and makes him grow. Then, what is the difference between the taste we taste when we drink tea and the character of gentlemen? "Li Xin is still talking.

Chen Xinheng's eyes widened. It seemed that if someone else was there, he would have raised his thumbs and asked, "How can you break so much".

Zheng Boyang looked at Li Xin, a small flame was burning again in his eyes, but he could not find a point that could be refuted. Because what Li Xin said is indeed the most orthodox Confucian theory, although it is only the most superficial part, and a little extension has been added, there is no room for criticism.

"A gentleman has many qualities, so we add a lot of condiments to tea. But in any case, the most fundamental are only two." Li Datong, "One is water. It is the gentleman himself. The other is tea, which is all qualities. The most important of these is benevolence. As we all know, benevolence is the origin of all virtues. So I always think that there are too many condiments in tea. Obviously, we only need benevolence."

Having said that, Li Xin paused for a while before continuing with a smile: "Other flavors will naturally be tasted in the process of repeatedly savoring benevolence, just as'benevolence' has developed into loyalty and filial piety and countless other qualities. "

Chen Xinheng suddenly realized that Li Xin still wanted to take this opportunity to promote his fried tea?

"After removing all the superfluous things, we can naturally taste the taste of tea, taste the taste of water, and thus get closer to the gentleman's way." Li Xin smiled and threw out this extremely important conclusion.

When Chen Yin listened to such nonsense, he really felt...with relish. Among other things, Li Xin's ability to meet people, talk to people, and talk to ghosts, is really hard for ordinary people to catch up. After this call, drinking tea is the practice of becoming a gentleman.

Zheng Han snorted and said nothing.

If Li Xin asked a classic question today, he would certainly be able to answer it perfectly. But Li Xin asked about something like tea ceremony. He doesn't know much about things in depth except for drinking and occasionally playing with it.

Now, judging from his self-cultivation, Li Xin has indeed established a fairly suitable logical framework, and what is left is to add private goods casually. It can be said that Li Xin has passed this level beautifully.

Li Xin smiled indifferently and said: "Just as people are different, different water from different places is naturally different. Tea made with them will also have different tastes."

So Li Xin began to elaborate on the influence of spring water, river water, and well water in the mountains on the taste of tea. He said it so well that even Chen Yin couldn't help but be surprised: Is there really so many ways?

Li Xin quietly paid attention to the expressions of the people present, and said in his heart: Ha ha, Daxian Lu Yu's "Tea Jing" can't stop you?
