A Brief Discussion on the Aesthetics of Tea Affairs in"The Classic of Tea"
As a tea scholar,Lu Yu is also a literati.Given his special identity as a literati,he inevitably introduced the perspective of literati into his tea studies,giving tea more aesthetic taste."The Classic of Tea",as an important carri-er of Lu Yu's tea studies,reflects his aesthetic taste in tea matters in terms of vessel type,language and harmony.In-troducing the concept of"frugality"into tea culture,constructing a connection between them,endowing tea drink-ing with aesthetic connotations of frugality are important contributions of Lu Yu to tea culture,which also influence the aesthetic taste of Chinese tea for thousands of years.
