In\norder to commemorate it, there is a stele of &#8220;go for tea&#8221; in the\ntemple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Famous\nmountains and ancient temples produce famous tea. The reason is that the monks\nplanted tea trees around the temple for the convenience of drinking tea.&#8221; Many famous tea, like Lushan Yunwu Tea\nproduced by Donglin temple in Lushan, Putuo tea produced by Putuo Mountain in\nZhejiang and Biluochun tea produced by Shanshui Yuean in Dongting, Jiangsu, are\nall related to monks. In particular, Chinese traditional famous tea has more or\nless the imprint of Buddhism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buddhism\nhas also made great contributions to Chinese tea art and ceremony. Monk Fuquan\nof the Song Dynasty also created the art of &#8220;dividing tea&#8221;, also\nknown as tea drama, which is to make the foam on the surface of tea soup form\nimages or even words.Tea dramas are vivid and have also made important\ncontributions to the art of tea tasting in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tea\nis for drinking. It is most suitable for people who are refined, thrifty and\nvirtuous.&#8221;Monks pursue the realm of being just without desire, which is\njust matched with the meditation and nourishing nature of tea.The tea and\nBuddhism permeate and achieve each other, and jointly become the splendid\nnational culture of China.\n\nIf you have time, sit down and enjoy a cup of tea and experience the\nculture of tea and Buddhism.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since ancient times, tea and Buddhism have been inseparable.Buddhists believe that the nature of tea is interlinked with Buddhism.
