To respond Min Zhang's song of game tea
To respond Min Zhang's song of game tea
By Fan Zhongyan
Every year the spring comes from the southeast,
Brook Jian first warms and the ice opens slightly.
The strange tea by stream is the most precious,
and planted by Wuyi immortals since ancient times.
Where did the new thunder come from last night?
Everyone laughed and went to pick tea through clouds.
The dew buds are scattered and flourishing,
and the beautiful trees are scattered with jade and pearls.
In the end, the harvest is not full a bag,
but the essence is not to be greedy.
There is an elegant system for grinding paste and baking milk,
square and round tea cakes were made.
The Tea of Beiyuan will present emperor,
and the heroes in forest will fight for quality first.
The tripod made of copper from Mount Shouyang, outside cloud,
and the bottle carries water from Spring Zhongling on Yangtse.
The green dust flies beside the gold mill,
and emerald waves rise in the jade bowl.
The taste of game tea ignores that of cream,
and the fragrance of game tea exceeds that of orchid.
Among them, the degree how can deceive,
wached by ten eyes and poited by ten fingers.
Victory is unattainable as if ascending to immortality,
and losing will be infinitely shameful.
Sigh at the the natural herb on the rock,
the function can compare with panacea before steps.
I can clear up the turbidity of everyone,
and wake up from the drunkenness of a thousand days.
Qu Yuan tried to recruit the soul,
but Liu Ling heard in rage.
Lu Tong dared not to sing?
but Lu Yu had to write sutra.
Among all the phenomena,
How can we know that there is no Tea Star.
The Masters of Shangshan need not take Ganoderma lucidum,
and Gentlemen of Mont Shouyang need not pick vetch.
The liquor price in Chang'an has been reduced by one million,
and the Chengdu pharmaceutical market has no glory.
It's not as good as taking a sip from the fairy mountain,
Like Lu Tong, I want to ride the wind to fly away.
Don't envy the girl among the flowers who only fights grass
and wins the pearls and returns.
和章岷从事斗茶歌
——(宋) 范仲淹
年年春自东南来,建溪先暖冰微开。 溪边奇茗冠天下,武夷仙人从古栽。
新雷昨夜发何处,家家嬉笑穿云去。 露芽错落一番荣,缀玉含珠散嘉树。
终朝采掇未盈襜,唯求精粹不敢贪。 研膏焙乳有雅制,方中圭兮圆中蟾。
北苑将期献天子,林下雄豪先斗美。 鼎磨云外首山铜,瓶携江上中泠水。
黄金碾畔绿尘飞,碧玉瓯中翠涛起。 斗茶味兮轻醍醐,斗茶香兮薄兰芷。
其间品第胡能欺,十目视而十手指。 胜若登仙不可攀,输同降将无穷耻。
吁嗟天产石上英,论功不愧阶前蓂。 众人之浊我可清,千日之醉我可醒。
屈原试与招魂魄,刘伶却得闻雷霆。 卢仝敢不歌,陆羽须作经。森然万象中,焉知无茶星。
商山丈人休茹芝,首阳先生休采薇。 长安价减百万,成都药市无光辉。
不如仙山一啜好,泠然便欲乘风飞。 君莫羡花间女郎只斗草,赢得珠玑满斗归。
