Hearing that the other party was so tough, Liu Qingyu didn't have any dissatisfaction or anger, but just smiled lightly: "No questions, we will be at the teahouse on time around 5 p.m."
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, outside the antique Tianlong Teahouse, Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai got out of the car and walked towards the Tianlong Teahouse.
This is an indoor courtyard-style teahouse, with a red brick and white wall outside. The wall tiles are full of classical style. The gate is an archway, and on the archway are written several seal characters - Tianlong Teahouse.
Entering the gate, you will find a deep courtyard with pavilions, winding paths and flower bushes, arches and corridors, small bridges and flowing water. When you walk into the courtyard, you feel like you have walked into an ancient Jiangnan courtyard and walked into history. The quiet environment and the exquisite design
Exquisite, not belonging to Jiangnan gardens.
Walking through the twists and turns of the corridor, smelling the fragrance of flowers and chirping of birds on both sides, you arrive in front of the teahouse.
There were two slim beauties in cheongsam standing on each side in front of the door. They stood there, swaying. Looking at their faces, the two beauties on the left were petite and exquisite, with fair skin and delicate faces. They were typical Jiangnan beauties. And the one on the right was petite and exquisite.
She is tall and tall, with slender legs. Although her face is not as delicate as the two beauties on the left, it is still full of typical northern characteristics. The four beauties, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, each have their own characteristics. It is pleasing to the eye.
Before entering the teahouse, I admired the beautiful woman first, which was full of charm.
Liu Qingyu's eyes just glanced at the four beauties, and without any hesitation, he stepped forward directly. One of the beauties opened the antique door for Liu Qingyu, and the voices of Yingying Yanyan came out neatly: "
Welcome."
Lifting your legs high, you stepped over the threshold and walked indoors. The first floor is an exhibition hall. The surrounding walls and tables are covered with literati calligraphy and paintings, antique cultural relics, and exquisite ceramics. Walking in here is like walking into a world of Chinese classical culture and art.
gallery.
Liu Qingyu took a quick look and found that these antiques were all genuine, and there were even some exquisite ones. Especially the literati calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, including the works of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove and the works of modern masters, made him feel astonished.
A strong atmosphere of traditional culture hits your face.
At this time, a tall young woman in her thirties wearing a bright red sleeveless cheongsam walked over to the hall, looked at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai with a smile and said, "Are you the guests who came to participate in the tea fight?
"
Liu Qingyu nodded slightly.
"The two of you, please come with me, but today's situation is a bit special. Originally, my boss promised to have a tea fight with you, but a Japanese guest happened to come not long ago, and this guest also asked for a tea fight with my boss.
Tea, so our boss made a temporary decision to join the Japanese guest in the tea fight." When the young woman spoke, she did not speak in a discussion tone, but in a notification tone.
After hearing this, Liu Qingyu still just nodded lightly and didn't care.
Walking up the wooden stairs to the second floor and entering a large hall, a light scent of sandalwood hits your face.
Entering the hall, Liu Qingyu saw two people sitting in front of a medium-sized and large rosewood tea table.
Sitting on the main seat is an old man of about 50 years old. He has black hair and a ruddy complexion. He is wearing a red Tang suit and a five-eyed magic conch dzi bead on his hand. He is sitting there with a calm mind and a leisurely look in his eyes.
A few strands of depth give people an unfathomable feeling.
To the left of this person sits a man wearing a traditional Japanese samurai uniform. This man is about forty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, has a crew cut, a mustache under his nose, and his eyes are shining.
Flashing, a look of arrogance on his face.
At this time, the man wearing the five-eyed dzi bead raised his head and glanced at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai lightly, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, take a seat. Today, everyone's goal is very simple, which is to fight tea. Sagawa Suzuki
Sir, would you mind adding one more tea-fighting friend?"
Sagawa Suzuki glanced at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai with disdain, and said in a somewhat arrogant Chinese: "What's the point of minding this? In my eyes, your Chinese tea ceremony has been known for a long time, and it can be called a tea ceremony."
Only our Japanese tea ceremony.”
After Sagawa finished speaking, the five-eyed man with dzi beads did not answer, but his brows furrowed and he looked at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai.
Liu Qingyu said directly and coldly: "Mr. Sagawa, I don't agree with your statement. I think that the real tea ceremony began in China. Your Japanese tea culture is also deeply influenced by our Chinese tea ceremony, and even the tea leaves are
It was introduced to your Japan from China, is this correct?"
At this time, the man with five eyed dzi beads suddenly said: "Dear friends, I think our tea fight today will be divided into two parts. The first part is for sitting down and talking about Taoism. Let's discuss the tea ceremony first and see how you are at the tea ceremony level.
.After this part is over, we will have a real tea fight, what do you think?"
Liu Qingyu did not make the decision directly, but looked at Qin Shuai. The reason why he refuted Sagawa Suzuki just now was because Liu Qingyu had done research on traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Although it was not as profound as Qin Shuai's understanding, he still had a good understanding of the real tea ceremony.
I also know something about the tea ceremony culture. But Sagawa is simply confusing right and wrong. This is something Liu Qingyu cannot tolerate in any case. But once it comes to the level of sitting down and talking about Taoism, Liu Qingyu knows that he cannot reach it and can only watch.
What Qin Shuai means.
Qin Shuai smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem."
The five-eyed man's eyes stayed on the faces of Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai for a moment respectively, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He already knew the positioning between Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai. But when he saw
Even though Qin Shuai was only about thirty years old, there was still a look of disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, to truly understand the tea ceremony, one does not have decades of experience in tea tasting and tea fighting.
It is impossible to master the study of tea culture and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. However, traditional Chinese culture has a long history. The culture of any one of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is enough for a person to spend his whole life studying, but he may not be able to achieve much. And these two
How much research can a young man in his thirties do?
Sagawa Suzuki nodded directly without any hesitation.
As a direct descendant of the Sagawa-ryu school of Japanese tea ceremony, he is confident that few can surpass him in tea ceremony.
When Tianzhu Man heard Sagawa Suzuki's answer, he smiled slightly, then looked at Qin Shuai and Liu Qingyu and said: "If you want to compete with me for tea, you need to pass my first test first, and this time I will give you
The test is, do you know the origin and meaning of my bracelet?"
Liu Qingyu doesn't play with bracelets, so he doesn't have much research on this thing.
Qin Shuai just glanced at the opponent's bracelet and said lightly: "This is just a string of five-eyed dzi beads."
Hearing what Qin Shuai said, the man with beads was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this young man actually called out the name of his bracelet. Then he asked with a smile: "Then do you know what this bracelet has?"
What does it mean? Why is it called the Five-Eyed Dzi Bead?"
Qin Shuai smiled faintly: "This bead string has three eyes on the front and two eyes on the back. It is collectively called the Five Eyes Dzi Beads. The five eyes respectively represent Buddha, Lotus, Vajra, Baosheng, and Karma. The five gods of wealth gather together to achieve unfailing success and complete auspiciousness.
The meaning of endless joy. The Book of Changes says: The sky is numbered five, the earth is numbered five, so the human body has five fingers, five senses, and five internal organs. Food has five flavors and five grains. Human relations have five lengths, five relationships, and five rigidities. Buddhism educates the five aggregates - form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness."
After Qin Shuai finished speaking, the Tianzhu man's expression really changed this time. When he looked at Qin Shuai again, his eyes were already somewhat dignified.
Liu Qingyu, on the other hand, had a calm expression. In his opinion, although Qin Shuai was sometimes unreliable, in Liu Qingyu's opinion, he could surpass Qin Shuai in inheriting and researching Chinese traditional culture.
, I am afraid that there is only one weird teammate I met when I was a soldier. That teammate is the weirdest person in their special forces. In terms of division of labor, he is a military doctor. It can be said that Chinese and Western medicine are in his
The skills in his hands are superb, and his understanding of traditional Chinese culture is so profound that even Liu Qingyu admires him.
Liu Qingyu thought that he had done a relatively in-depth study of Confucianism, but compared with this teammate, Liu Qingyu felt ashamed. And under the influence of this teammate, almost everyone in their entire special operations team had a deep understanding of Confucianism and Buddhism.
The understanding of these traditional cultures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism has reached a very advanced level. Without him, this teammate has a habit - he likes to be a teacher. When he has nothing to do, he will tell them his understanding of the traditional culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, especially when he gives
When his teammates were treating injuries, especially when he was a teacher, no one dared to offend him at this time. Even if they didn't like to listen, they had to listen. So, everyone got used to it.
However, based on Liu Qingyu's understanding of Qin Shuai, even if Qin Shuai's understanding of traditional culture is not as good as that of his teammate, it is not much different. However, in terms of understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Qingyu believes that even if that teammate is
He may not be able to surpass Qin Shuai.
At this time, the Dzi Bead Man suddenly asked: "What is the merit of the five eyes?"
"If you make money in five ways, you will never go wrong. If you enjoy all the ways, you can get the blessing and help from the Buddhas of the five directions, the gods of wealth from the five directions, and the gods of the earth. You can get wealth and longevity. This is called the merit of the five eyes."
“What are the Five Eyes interests?”
"Getting empowerment from the five Buddhas, bringing in wealth from the five ways, bringing five blessings to one's door, having five sons admitted to the imperial examination, etc. It symbolizes that the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are used to create all things in heaven and earth."
"What is the zodiac sign corresponding to the Five Eyes Dzi Bead?"
"Horse, sheep, monkey!"
The question and answer are like flowing clouds and flowing water, smooth and natural.
At this point, the Dzi Bead Man completely lost his contempt for Qin Shuai and Liu Qingyu, his expression became serious, and asked: "Are there any good ones above the five-eyed Dzi Beads?"
Qin Shuai said: "Yes, it is called the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead! The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is the highest grade among the Dzi Beads. It can avoid all disasters, increase compassion, have prominent authority, and have great benefits. Among the merits of practicing Dzi Beads, the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead
Contains the symbols and artistic conception of all totems, the final state in Buddhist practice, the reincarnation of the nine-grade lotus flower. Nine also symbolizes the unpredictable, unsurpassable, and infinite realm. The nine eyes symbolize the movement of the nine planets in nature, including the movement of the universe and human beings.
The thought of transforming weakness into strength; it represents the collection of merits of the nine vehicles, the final state of Buddhist practice, and the transformation of the nine-grade lotus."
After Qin Shuai finished speaking, the Tianzhu man nodded slightly: "Okay, you passed the test. You two can express your own understanding of the following question. If I think what you said is unreasonable, I will eliminate you directly. My question is
, what is tea?”
It was a very simple question, but both Sagawa Suzuki and Qin Shuai frowned. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
