This poem has become a masterpiece for the ages because it has a special ingenuity that allows the words to be arranged in beautiful shapes, describing not only the appearance of tea, but also the methods of making, brewing, and tasting tea. Inspired by Yuan Zhen's masterpiece, the author of this book, Hao Guangcai, gave himself the challenge of writing two poems about tea! These two poems are placed at the front and back of the book, using the simplest words and phrases, with meanings understood by young and old alike, to explain the heart behind drinking tea and the important role that tea plays in life, not only letting young readers understand more about the culture and spirit of tea, but also echoing the effect of the beginning and the end of the book.
