Lu Tong's "Seven Bowls of Tea Song" can be described as a unique song in Chinese tea poetry, in fact, the poem is really called "Walking Pen Xie Meng's Advice to Send New Tea", because the poem describes the scene of drinking seven bowls of tea in a row, so it is also called "Seven Bowls of Tea Poems" or "Seven Bowls of Tea Song". Shi Yun: "One bowl of throat kissing, two bowls of broken and lonely." Three bowls of dry intestines, only five thousand volumes of writing. Four bowls of light sweat, ordinary life, all scattered to the pores. Five bowls of muscle and bone clear, six bowls of fairy spirit. Seven bowls can not eat also, only to feel the two armpits to practice the breeze. The poem describes in detail the three realms of drinking seven bowls of tea from physical to psychological and then sublimated to the spirit, the first bowl is physical feeling, the second bowl to the fourth bowl is mental feeling, and the fifth to seventh bowl is spiritual feeling, especially the seventh bowl of "only two armpits to practice qingfeng sheng", indicating that after drinking seven bowls, you can become a immortal and ascend to heaven. The poem vividly expresses the three-layered essence of the way of drinking tea, the way of drinking tea and the way of drinking tea. So next time you may wish to hold a "Seven Bowls of Tea Poems" tea tasting recitation, but also in Chinese and English recitation.
