Lu Tong

Lu Tong

T ó ng (795-835 AD), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was the grandson of Lu Zhao, a neighbor of the four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty. He was born in Sili village, Wushan Town, Jiyuan City, Henan Province, and his ancestral home is Fan Yang (Zhuozhou, Hebei Province). In his early years, he was a hermit in shanchaxianquan, and later moved to Luoyang. Yuchuanzi, with a number of broken rooms and full shelves of books, studied hard all day. The neighboring monks gave rice to them, studied hard, read classics and history, wrote poems and essays, and did not want to be an official. He was honored as "tea Fairy". His character is "Gao Gu Jie Shu, and his sight is extraordinary near", which is similar to Meng Jiao's; his spirit of heroism is close to Han Yu's. Han Meng is an important figure in the school of poetry. In November 835, he died of the change of mannose.

Historical records

Lu Tong was born in Jiyuan, buried in Jiyuan, and lived in seclusion in the tea spring of Shaoshi mountain in Songshan mountain. This probably has something to do with Lu Tong's tragic death.

In 835 A.D., Chang'an experienced "the change of manna", which implicated Lu Tong. His good friend Jia Dao once wrote in the poem "crying Lu Tong": "Chang'an has made friends, but Tuogu has suddenly abandoned." In other words, before Lu Tong's execution, his friends from Chang'an went to see him off, and Lu Tong entrusted his friends to take care of his children.

According to Lu Heping, the 47th generation of Lu Tong's direct descendants, Lu's descendants smuggled Lu Tong's bones back to Jiyuan for burial. Later, they worried about being implicated. After burying Lu Tong, they moved their family to the south. In the next few hundred years, Lu Tong disappeared from his hometown.

According to Lu Heping's genealogy, the family of Lu was divided into two branches after he moved to the south. One branch settled in Jiangnan, and the other branch returned to Jiyuan in the Ming Dynasty.

According to Lu's genealogy, "the ancestor Lu Gong taboo Botong, Shanxi Hongdong City Shilipu people. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Huaifu county was deserted and deserted. After 32 years of exile, I learned that I had returned to my hometown. My ancestor Botong thought about my ancestors and looked forward to my hometown. With four sons, Dagong, ERGONG, * *, Sigong and di Boyuan, he returned to Wushantou village, Yuchuan Township, Jiyi. At the beginning of the migration, the second generation's ancestors were in trouble. The ancestors told them: I am a benefactor, and Tang Xianquan is called Yuchuan Yuye. My son and nephew happily built the temple. "

From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, after several changes, people in Jiyuan gradually forgot this "tea immortal". Lu Tong's tomb was also submerged in many civilian tombs. No one in the countryside, except Lu's descendants, thought that this was the place where a generation of tea ceremony masters were born and buried.

It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the reputation of Lu Tong's hometown was remembered again. At the head of Sili village, there is a stone tablet inscribed with four big characters: "Lu Tong's hometown". On both sides of the stone tablet, there are two lines of small characters: "the work poems of the talented people shine with the sun and the moon, and the Deze runye envoys gather the grass and compete for beauty.". This stone tablet was erected in the late Qing Dynasty and was inscribed by Liu maiyuan, the censor of Guangdong Province at that time.

According to the annals of Jiyuan County, Liu maiyuan enjoyed drinking tea all his life. One year, he went back to his hometown Jiyuan to visit his relatives and wanted to pay a visit to Lu Tong. When he asked the local gentry and Lu's descendants where the tomb of Lu Tong was, he replied that the tomb had been leveled and the inscriptions could not be found. Liu maiyuan was furious: "the world still respects Lu Tong. You are descendants, but you don't respect your ancestors. It's really disrespectful and unreasonable."

Therefore, Liu maiyuan wrote down "Lu Tong's hometown" and left. The local gentry carved Liu maiyuan's ink into a stone tablet, which stood at the head of the village, and carved a new tablet for Lu Tong's tomb. Since then, the name of "Lu Tong's hometown" has come out of the history.

Life of the characters

Lu Tong had a rare talent and fame. He lived in seclusion in Shaoshi mountain of Songshan before he was 20 years old and didn't want to be an official. The family is poor, only books are piled up in the room. Later, he lived in Luoyang. There were only a few dilapidated houses. One slave had a long beard, not wrapped his head, and one maid had barefoot. He was old and toothless. His family only depended on neighboring monks to deliver rice.

Lu Tong was upright and upright. The imperial court had twice treated him with courtesy and wanted to use him as a counsellor. Lu Tong had been intimidated by the villains and told Han Yu that Han Yu wanted to judge for him. Lu Tong considered that the lawless people would hate Han Yu and did not want to investigate the matter again. Han Yu admired him even more. He once satirized the eunuch's autocracy in his poem "eclipse of the moon", which was praised by Han Yu (he was the order of Henan at that time), but many other people were very dissatisfied.

At the time of the change of Ganlu, Lu Tong happened to have dinner in the library of the prime minister's mansion with some of his aides, so he stayed here. The officials and soldiers secretly arrested him. Lu Tong said, "I'm from Lushan. I don't have a grudge with you. What's the crime?" The official said, "since it's a mountain man, isn't it a crime to come to the prime minister's house?" In the hurry, I couldn't explain clearly. I suffered the disaster of manna and was implicated. Lu, a eunuch, did not nail his hair when he was old. Previously, Lu Tong gave birth to a son named "Tianding", which is believed to be a good omen.

According to the annals of Jiyuan County written by Xiao Yingzhi during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, there is a tomb of Lu Tong at the top of Wushan mountain in the northwest of the county, and there is a "Yuchuan spring" on the mountain where Lu Tong used to draw water to cook tea. Jia Dao, a good friend, wrote a poem "crying for Lu Tong:" for forty years, I only wear white cloth. "

I can't eat seven bowls, but I can't eat them. I can't eat them "The efficacy of tea and Lu Tong's aesthetic pleasure of tea drinking are incisively and vividly expressed in the poem.

Tea ceremony

"Seven bowls of tea song" written by Lu Tong when he lived in seclusion in chaxianquan, shanchaxiangu, shaoshishan, has been widely praised in Japan, and evolved into a Japanese tea ceremony of "moistening the throat, breaking the loneliness, searching the intestines, sweating lightly, clearing the muscles and bones, communicating with the immortal spirit, and generating the breeze". Lu Tong was highly praised by the Japanese, who often compared him with Lu Yu, the "tea sage", and was pushed to the height of the ancestor of "fried tea ceremony".

Poetry

Lu Tong's poems reflect the corrupt government and the people's livelihood at that time. They are unique in style and similar to prose. "Tang poetry is unique in style, but Tong Zhi's poems are unique, self-made, strange in language, difficult for readers to understand and easy for readers to know. Later, he followed suit and became a great master. " There are 103 poems in existence, including yuchuanzi poetry collection.
