And Yuan Zhen's poem "Tea" in the Tang Dynasty said: "Tea, fragrant leaves, buds, admirers, love monks." Grind and carve white jade and weave red yarn. Pan-fry the yellow core color, the bowl turns to the dust flower. Invite to accompany the bright moon after the night, and face the morning clouds alone before morning. If people are indefatigable in ancient and modern times, they will know how to boast when they are drunk. "
