Clouds and Mist in a Cup of Tea茶汤里的烟云

Poetry, calligraphy and oil painting from a life lived between tea and Chan — gathered over many years and set down in a single bilingual volume, with prefaces by Wang Linhai and Snow-Mountain White Phoenix and English translation by Chen Shan.

“I have called it Clouds and Mist in a Cup of Tea. The title carries two meanings. The first is visual: steam gathers above the tea like mountain mist. The second lies in its spirit: all things move and change, passing before our eyes like drifting clouds — yet within that passing world there are still things worth seeing, feeling, and holding close.”

The book is also the key to the teas. Each cake it names can be found in the collection here — the book in one hand, the cup in the other.

诗歌、书法与油画——半生行走、观照生命的体悟,汇成一册中英双语书卷。王林海、雪山白凤凰作序,陈单翻译。

「名之为《茶汤里的烟云》,一则取其形——茶汤氤氲,如山岚水气;二则取其意——万象流转,皆如过眼云烟,而其中自有可观、可感、可留之处。」

书亦是茶的钥匙。书中提到的每一饼茶,都能在此处的茶藏中找到。一手执卷,一手执盏。
