The four elements are great but lonely.

茶诗 Tea Poetry
(蔡荣章* Steven R. Jones)



七碗诗 卢同 (唐. 790~835)
一碗喉吻润，
二碗破孤闷，
三碗搜枯肠，惟有文字五千卷，
四碗发轻汗，平生不平事尽向毛孔散，
五碗肌骨清，
六碗通仙灵，
七碗吃不得也，唯觉两腋习习清风生。
蓬莱山﹐在何处，玉川子乘此清风欲归去。

Lu Tong's Seven Bowls of Tea
The first bowl moistens my lips and throat;
The second bowl breaks my loneliness;
The third bowl searches my barren entrails but to find
therein some five thousand scrolls;
The fourth bowl raises a slight perspiration
and all life's inequities pass out through my pores;
The fifth bowl purifies my flesh and bones;
The sixth bowl calls me to the immortals.
The seventh bowl could not be drank、 only the breath of the cool wind
raises in my sleeves.
Where is Penglai Island、 Yuchuanzi wishes to ride on this sweet breeze
and go back.
--- Lu， Tong (Tang. 790~835)




六羡歌 陆羽 (唐. 733~804)
不羡黄金罍，不羡白玉杯，
不羡朝入省，不羡暮入台，
千羡万羡西江水，曾向竟陵城下来。

Six Admirations
I do not thirst for gold cups.
Nor thirst for white jade bowls.
Nor for morning thirst of high office.
Nor for evening thirst of high rank.
What I long and long for is the water flowing into Jingling.
---Lu， Yu (Tang. 733~804)


11.7.饮茶歌诮崔石使君 皎然 (唐.720~800)
越人遗我剡溪茗，采得金芽...金鼎。
素瓷雪色缥沫香，何似诸仙琼蕊浆。
一饮涤昏寐，情思爽朗满天地， ----
再饮清我神，忽如飞雨洒轻尘，
三饮便得道，何须苦心破烦恼；
此物清高世莫知，世人饮酒多自欺，
愁看毕卓瓮间夜，笑向陶潜篱下时。
崔侯啜之意不己，狂歌一曲惊人耳，
熟知茶道全尔真，唯有丹丘得如此。

A friend from Yueh presented me with San River tea.
For which I chose a golden cauldron to boil the golden pecko.
A snow white bowl with its green bright froth and fragrance.
Was it just like the nectar of the Immortals?
The first bowl washed the cobwebs from my mind、 my perceptions turned
bright
and clear.
A second cleansed my spirit like purifying showers of rain.
A third and I have obtained the Way、 what need now for austerities to
purge our perplexities. It is of great spirit but unknown by most、
worldly people by going in for wine sadly deceive themselves.
Who knows the Way of Tea is really true、 just Danqui could find it.
---Jiaoran (Tang. 720~800)


游诸佛舍，一日饮酽茶七盏，戏书勤师壁 苏轼(宋. 1037~1101)
.........何须魏帝一丸药，且尽卢同七碗茶。

Around the Temple， Drinking Seven Bowls of Tea， and Writing on the
Walls
......Why swallow Emperor Wei's pill，
when we can drink Lu Tong's seven bowls of tea.
---Su， Shi (Su DongPo) (Song. 1037~1101)



Another Tea Baby-Song
Part one:
Born from the water, with five senses ready for the world;
the world is big and chasing tea is bigger.
从水中释出，将自己修得的香气和养分带到世间。
这万千世界，追逐茶道的境界更加宽广。


Part two:
Dancing in the fire, Tea is fun;
playing Tea is wild.
浴火中舞蹈，茶蕴含着无穷的魅力。
演绎茶境之美悠游自在，无拘无束。

Part three:
Walking together on air, yes together;
tea has become an old friend.

彼此相融，与茶漂浮于天际间。
与茶成为昔日的朋友。

Part four:
Returning to the earth once again, so soon;
yet Tea will be there for the next generations to come.
一刹那间，又回归到大地。
世代更迭，茶香依旧飘扬。
