Enquire询茶中文Today we drink tea in my tea room, which is full of old things. Recently I found a Southern Song Longquan piece — very, very beautiful, classically Southern Song. I often set an old object on the table while I drink, put a few flowers in it, look at it a while.
The three-legged censer is Song as well; I light incense in it and set it there. Another censer is Japanese, made in the Song manner — the Japanese loved early Chinese culture. One little animal on the table I cannot even name or date. But it is beautiful, and it is good company.
Song, Ming, Qing — they sit on the same table and hold tea, ash, and flowers. Old things are not for cabinets. They are for using slowly, while the tea goes around.
今天在我的茶室空间喝茶，这里有很多文玩收藏。前一段时间我收了一个南宋的龙泉窑，这件器物很美很美，典型的南宋。我经常会拿一些老的器物，一边喝茶，一边摆在面前，插花插一插。
这件三足鼎立的香炉也是宋代的，釉面特别美，平时我就点一炉香在这一放。还有一个香炉是日本的，仿宋代的——日本人很喜欢中国早期的文化。有个小动物，断代还不是特别清楚，是什么动物我也不认识，但就是好玩。
宋、明、清，同坐一席，盛茶、盛灰、盛花。老器物不是用来锁在柜子里的，是用来在茶汤之间慢慢使用的。
