"The great cold is the middle, and the upper form is the small cold, so it is called the big... The reverse pole of the cold is called the great cold.
Picking up flowers and picking them up is all withering!
There is a sun in the morning, but it is still a little cold, and it is always a long hidden winter. In the cold, this winter, we have also come to the end. After the great cold, it is the beginning of spring, and the end point is connected to the starting point, just like the earth has rotated in a circle, and time is in this circle, quietly flowing, and the cycle begins.
The reverse pole of the cold, so it is called the great cold, which sounds like the meaning of the weather is cold to the extreme, but few people can read the romance of its thousand sails and returning to the heart, it seems cold and ruthless, it does not move, but in fact, the heart is warm, waiting for the opportunity, ready to go.
Look at the strongest and thickest ice in the lake, it is precisely the spring aquatic life in the depths of the ice, in the extreme cold, the vitality of spring has sprouted in the thick cold ice. So, ah, the notepad of the solar terms, the transformation of the four seasons, those past colors, wind objects, and plots, are all renderings and baptisms of natural life, because they have experienced it, so they understand its meaning.
The ancients knew such a truth, only on days like the great cold, or about friends, or staying in a warm house with family and relatives, warming tea around the stove to cool off, in this winter and spring alternate festivals, feeling the change of years, and safely waiting for the arrival of spring.
It is in response to the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu: "The wine is self-contained, and the golden furnace beast is warm." The cold should be close to the fire, nothing to open the door, winter and spring alternate, the stars and the moon are preserved? The Ming Dynasty changed the new law, and MeiLiu waited for YangChun. ”
I can't help but think of last year's big cold, that day I and a few close colleagues hit it off, ready to emulate the ancients, boil tea in the furnace, feel the sense of ceremony in this festival that is considered to be the old and welcome the new, so I decided to cook a pot of 1998 Yiwu old tea: Qianzhu Jin.
Yiwu's tea taste, depending on the time changes or soft, or mellow, or honey, or moist, or rhyme. The taste of this will be the five flavors of Yiwu old tea to the fullest, the soup is sweet, mellow, smooth, thick, soft, such as a gentleman, warm as jade, just suitable for such a time, living water old tea, cooking tea, both to experience the old, but also to feel the new.
The company opened a lot of tea samples, because this tea is the 90s Yiwu bamboo tube tea, dusty for a long time, lack of agility, so it has long been spun in the sample tea can. It was as if it was not only tea that was pried open, but also the wonderful story of Yi Wu in the 90s.
Yiwu in the 1990s was a legendary era of Zhengshan tea's fame and prosperity, and it was also the golden age of "100,000 tea farmers entering Yiwu". Yiwu is once again famous in the world with the beauty of Pu'er tea, and has become the golden signboard of the six major tea mountains. At that time, under the impetus of the market economy, Yiwu people seized the opportunity to regain the traditional craftsmanship that had been interrupted for decades, inheriting the "Yiwu Zhengshan" Seven Sons Cake Pu'er Tea, so that the cultivation and processing of traditional Pu'er tea developed rapidly, and also made Yiwu in the 90s recast the glory of the past.
Drink a tea, of course, to know its story, whether it is the indelible dents on the old stone of history, or the camel bells echoing on the mottled stone road, this tea is the persistent work of that era.
I vaguely remember that the cold that day was as cold as this year, weighed 10 grams of tea, the appearance of the tea is ordinary and not amazing, but a closer look is full of vicissitudes of beauty, full of simple and innocent silent confidence, the unique temperament of the old tea, not crushed by the ruts of time, but is carved more and more charming.
It took less than 5 minutes to cook, and the transparent, restrained breath, like a mountain stream and a clear spring, flowed through the heart, which made people feel refreshed. The rich aroma of Chen comes to the face, the tea soup is smooth and mellow, the soup is full of flavor, and the aroma of the teeth and cheeks remains for a long time. In fact, the taste of this tea is not aggressive, but calm, calm and elegant, such a taste, and like a gentle and elegant student, as if in the unhurried elegant conversation, with plain words to tell its story, such a story, fascinating, people want to get closer, it is difficult to give up.
A colleague of mine spoke even more mysteriously, saying that it felt idyllic and natural when she drank it, and there was an indescribable surge in her heart, as if it was wandering on the edge of a mysterious state and like the mouth entering a secret place of leisurely tea tasting.
But of course I can understand her feelings, an intriguing tea, which is like a big cold festival, always makes people can't help but taste it carefully and carefully ponder. A festival or a cup of tea seems to be forgotten in the corner by busy people, and those who have a heart are enlightening the moment and eternity of time. In the cold and warmth, between the thick and the bitter, the years and moods are depicted.
This may be the feeling that a solar term brings to us, and the nourishment that a good cup of tea brings to us.
The tea party that day was the green light of the traditional small pond with the pink of the peach blossom, and the color was somewhat complicated, delicate, deep and luxurious, like the majestic vitality of the morning sun; and like the brilliant light of the sunset; the most delicate emotion of the acacia beans; the most mature late autumn meaning of the maple leaves...
Set up a table, fry water, boil tea, drink tea, between the water, that day's cold, we seem to drink the worldly style, but at that time I did not know, a normal day, may become a person's lifelong memories, the cold has passed, but the memory is left, maybe every year when the cold, I will think of the pot of tea last year.
