In the fifth year of Tang Tianbao, Li Qiwu, the Taishou of Jingling, saw Lu Yu's outstanding performance in a state gathering, admired his talent and ambition very much, and immediately gave him a book of poetry, and recommended him to study with Zou Fuzi who lived in seclusion in Huomen Mountain. In the eleventh year of Tianbao (752 AD), Cui Guofu was demoted to Jingling Sima in the Ministry of Rites. That year, Lu Yu said goodbye to Zou Fuzi and went down the mountain.

Cui and Yu met, and the two often traveled together, tasting tea and water, and talking about poetry. In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Lu Yu traveled to Bashan Gorge in order to investigate the tea affair. Before leaving, Cui Guofu gave a white donkey, a black plough ox and a letter from Wenhuai.

Along the way, he picked tea in the mountains and horses, and when he met the saddle crystal water under the spring, he was dizzying, his mouth was not timeless, his pen was not timeless, and he was full of tips. In the first year of the reign of Emperor Zongqian of Tang Su (758 AD), Lu Yu came to Shengzhou (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and lived in Qixia Temple to study tea. The following year, he lived in Danyang.

In the first year of the Tang Dynasty (760 AD), Lu Yu came to Tiaoxi (now Wuxing, Zhejiang) from the foothills of Qixia Mountain, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and wrote about the Book of Tea in Minmen. During the period, he often wore a short brown scarf, wore mushroom shoes on his feet, walked alone in the wilderness, went deep into the farmhouse, picked tea and looked for springs, commented on tea and water, or chanted poems, hit the forest with a cane, made flowing water by hand, hesitated and wandered, every solstice was dark, and the party cried and returned.

Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" was created in 780 AD.

It is the earliest, most complete and most comprehensive monograph on tea in China and even in the world, known as the encyclopedia of tea, written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty.

This book is a comprehensive treatise on the history, origin, current situation, production technology, tea drinking skills, and principles of tea production, and is an epoch-making monograph on tea science, an incisive agricultural work, and a book that expounds tea culture. The elevation of ordinary tea to a wonderful cultural performance has promoted the development of Chinese tea culture.

When did Yu's "Book of Tea" begin to be written? When will the book be written? There is no clear text to be written.

It is generally believed that the "Book of Tea" was completed in 780 AD, and if Lu Yu was born in 729, the year of the completion of the "Book of Tea" is exactly fifty-one years old; If he had been born in 733, he would have been forty-seven years old. Judging from the rich content and condensed text of the "Book of Tea", it seems that it is not capable of doing it in youth. Some people believe that the "Book of Tea" was written in 764, according to the biography of Lu Yu:

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was more hidden in the stream, and the book was written behind closed doors", the year number of the first century was only two years, and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty should refer to the year 760, which means that the beginning of writing may not be completed in that year. According to the "Book of Tea" "Four Vessels" said that the tea boiling stove is cast on the foot of the furnace with the ancient text "Shengtang extinguishes Hu next year" seven characters. The extermination of Hu refers to the year when the Tang Dynasty quelled the rebellion of An Lushan Shi Siming, in 763, and the so-called next year should refer to 764.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the time when the "Book of Tea" was written was after 764 A.D., and according to Li Jiqing's "consolation of Jiangnan", he summoned Chang Boxiong to make tea, and he admired Chang very much, and some people recommended Lu Yu, and after inviting Lu Yu to come, Li did not treat him politely, which made Lu Yu angry, "and wrote "On the Destruction of Tea". It is argued that the "Book of Tea" has been circulated in society from 767 to 768. If the "Book of Tea" was written in 764, when Lu Yu was only 31 years old (or 27 years old), it is hard to believe that he wrote such a profound "Book of Tea".

In fact, after Lu Yu lived in Tiaoxi, his residence changed from time to time, and he often went out, not writing books behind closed doors (it should be regarded as a counterpoint). This can be seen from the poems given by Jiaoran, Huangfu Ran, Li Ye and others. Lu Yu spent a lot of time studying tea, and traveled to Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Danyang, Yixing, Changxing, Hangzhou, and Shengxian in Zhejiang Province, and later to Shangrao, Jiangxi.

He has conducted in-depth research and practice on tea harvesting, drinking and tea affairs, and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about tea affairs. More importantly, when I was in Huzhou, with the support of Yan Zhenqing and the help of Jiaoran, there was a large number of literature to refer to, and the "Book of Tea" could be written. When Li Jiqing comforted Jiangnan, he summoned Lu Yu, who was fond of tea, to boil tea or according to Lu Yu's recommendation of Yixing tribute tea:

…The savage Lu Yu thought that the tea fragrance was crowned in other realms, or recommended to the top. Qiyun (Li Qiyun Changzhou Thorn History) from it, the beginning of ten thousand taels. He thought that Lu Yu had become an authority on tea affairs.

Without the birth of the "Book of Tea", it is difficult to become a social authority. This inference is not comprehensive enough, because Lu Yu is good at making tea and tasting tea, and he can become an authoritative person in various places, and he does not have to write books to become an expert.

You can buy a book to look it up.

The Book of Tea was written by his eldest brother.
