In the Japanese film A Generation of Cha Sheng? There is a scene in "Sen no Rikyū" in which many people moved out of the chest treasure and intended to dedicate it to Nobunobu Oda, the leader who mastered the Japanese political situation at that time. Among them, Zhao Chang's paintings in the Song Dynasty and the family heirloom pottery of precious famous artists, etc ... Therefore, they could get different amounts of gold rewards. Unexpectedly, Sen no Rikyū was not only late at that time, but also brought a lacquerware plate that everyone thought was ordinary.
Sen no Rikyū is a giant of Japanese tea ceremony and aesthetics. He once left this famous saying: "Beauty is what I call the shots. He once said, "Everything I choose will leave a legend. It can be seen that he has a high degree of confidence in his unique aesthetic taste.
at that time, he didn't care about the ridicule of everyone in the room. He gently pulled open the door facing the courtyard, looked at the sky, set the plate, took out the bamboo tube from his arms, poured water into the plate and adjusted it. Then he knelt down and asked Nobuyuki Oda to come forward and watch.
Nobunaga was also puzzled, but when he saw it, he understood it all, and immediately emptied all the gold in the bag as a reward.
It turns out that Sen no Rikyū reflected the bright moonlight through the black water tray, and when the moon and the golden pattern in the black tray set each other off, this ingenious and far-reaching technique presented the beauty of heaven and earth, which really deserves to be a generation of masters who discovered and created the aesthetic feeling in Japanese history and brought people a happy feeling.
Second, really put it down, completely for a while.
There is another scene in the film, in which Toyotomi Hideyoshi has offended his master Nobunobu Oda and may be given a death sentence. He stepped on the heavy steps and came to Sen no Rikyū Teahouse, hoping to experience the legendary ultimate tea ceremony before he died. Sen no Rikyū first invited Toyotomi Hideyoshi to have a rest. While waiting, he looked up at the "leisure" calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall in a daze. It seemed thoughtful but puzzled. Then Sen no Rikyū brought out a bowl of cold porridge and a plum wrapped in paper for him to eat.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a very important retainer at that time, and he was used to enjoying it. He couldn't help wondering, "Although I am a down and out person, are you only going to let me eat this bowl of cold porridge?" ",but when he ate a few mouthfuls of cold porridge with plums, he was moved to tears. Through the intersection of warm and wet face and cold porridge in his mouth, he finally realized that Sen no Rikyū was reminding him not to forget the simplicity and quietness of the past.
At this time, Sen no Rikyū offered another cup of warm matcha, and earnestly said, "Let go of the greed and burden in your heart! Master, I'll put in a good word for you. "From a bowl of cold porridge to a cup of hot tea, plus this passage, Toyotomi Hideyoshi returned from hell to paradise on earth? .
In fact, what I admire most about Sen no Rikyū is not only his ability to appreciate and express beauty, but also his respect for people and his sensitivity to people's hearts. Moreover, he is really practicing the spirit of "one session, one meeting", which often makes people who have the opportunity to personally touch his tea ceremony amazed and moved.
the Japanese tea ceremony term "one session for a while" was originally derived from "the tea drinker realizes ten aspects" in "Two Chapters of Mountain Sect" written by Sen no Rikyū's disciple Yamanaka. "One session" means that we are likely to meet only once, reminding people to cherish the people around us and every tea party. I often tell the audience or students after lectures.
Whether it's "Paint Reflecting the Bright Moon" dedicated to Nonobunaga Oda or "Warm Soup with Idle Porridge" by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it can be regarded as a true manifestation of Sen no Rikyū's profound "One Phase, One Meeting". For Nobunaga Oda, his status has already possessed countless rare treasures, and it is not just the vessel itself that can make him happier, but the brand-new sensory experience that can be brought to him through the vessel.
Similarly, for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born in a common people and pursued success excessively, it can remind him of the happy memories he had when he was a child, but he could snuggle up in his mother's arms. The so-called happiness means not clinging to everything and returning to the simplest leisure. I believe that this "one session, one meeting" will be unforgettable for these two important figures in the early and late period of Japan.
Third, Hibiscus is proud of itself for a day, so why bother to love the world and always worry about death
"The beauty of silence" (わび? さびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびびび12 The original intention of びび is simplicity. If a person can be content with simplicity, it is a virtue that Zen believes. Being respectful and quiet also summarizes the transformation of "Zen tea blindly".
Therefore, Sen no Rikyū felt that the best tea bowl in the movie was made by the master tile craftsman himself, and its appearance was very unpretentious, which was similar to the natural law pursued by Lao Zi.
"The hibiscus flowers are proud of themselves once a day, so why should they always worry about dying?" comes from Bai Juyi's poem "Five Poems on the Talk". No matter the strain and color, hibiscus flowers will only bloom for one day, and when they bloom in the morning, they will wither at night. It is not just "one period for a while" but also "one day for a lifetime", showing the spirit of living with heart, but also worrying about dying.
Life is only a few decades, and it is full of many uncertainties and parting. In recent years, I have experienced the sudden death of Chen Yi 'an's mentor, grandfather, friends and club partners. We should cherish our "one day and one life" every day, open our eyes and "live a happy life" well, and keep the attitude of "one session for a while" every time we get together with relatives and friends, which can reduce a lot.
