Six Envy Songs
Lu Yu is not envious of gold and white jade cups. I don't envy going to the province, I don't envy going to Taiwan at dusk. Thousands of people admire the West River and once came down to Jingling City.
This poem is included in Volume 38 of The Whole Tang Poetry. The original title is Song. The original note reads: "In Taihe Middle School, there is an old monk in Fuzhou. Yun is a disciple of Lu Monk and often sings this song." . Because there are six words of "envy" in the poem, it is often called "Six Envy Songs" by later generations, and all the classics about tea poems are included.
What did the Six Envies Song write?
It wrote four "no envy" and "thousand envy".
In the first two sentences, two words "no envy", "golden jar" and "white jade cup" are both valuable drinking utensils, which represent material benefits; In three or four sentences, "province" and "Taiwan" are both administrative institutions, representing political status, which is easy to understand-money and power status are not what I pursue.
The question is, the "envy-filled" Xijiang River in the last two sentences represents the theme of the whole poem. What does it mean?
the meaning of the six songs of admiration
traditionally, it is Cha Sheng Lu Yu's strict attitude towards water selection. Jingling is his hometown, and the familiar Xijiang River is his favorite water for frying tea. He is envious of Xijiang River, expressing his love for his hometown, his love for tea and his pursuit of noble interests.
There is another saying. Tang Lizhao's Supplement to National History says, "On a different day, (Yu) heard of the death of the Zen master in other places and cried bitterly, so he wrote a poem to express his feelings." Chen Jiru, a Ming Dynasty poet, quoted Lu Yu's Biography as saying: "(Feather) did little to make Zen master Jing Ling accumulate wisdom. On another day, Yu was somewhere else, and when he heard of the teacher's death, he cried very sadly and wrote a poem. " In other words, Lu Yu expressed his condolences and memory of Zen master Zhiji in an implicit way.
personally, I prefer the latter.
Lu Yu and Zen Master Zhiji
Cha Sheng Lu Yu had an extraordinary life. She was orphaned at the age of three, adopted by Zen Master Zhiji, a monk in the West Pagoda Temple in Jingling, and began to read and write articles at the age of nine. Because she was unwilling to follow the wishes of Zen Master Zhiji, she was bound and disciplined, and finally she could not bear to escape from the temple and became a comedian.
Zen master Zhiji not only has the kindness of nurturing Lu Yu, but also has the feeling of mentoring. It is his guidance and inspiration that opened the door to the tea world for Lu Yu.
There are even many legends about the Zen master Zhiji who knows whether or not to feather-decoct tea before he sees his person and only tastes his tea.
Lu Yu has a free and easy personality and an unswerving character, which doomed him to part ways with Zen master Zhiji. When he studied hard and settled down, and when he explored the source of tea and lived alone, his heart was inevitably depressed and depressed. However, I believe that he never resented his master. When he lived in Shangrao at the age of 58, he heard that Zen master Zhiji died, and he was extremely sad. It was as if he had been deeply blessed.
This sadness is probably expressed in an extremely oriental and subtle language.
