茶之流派1—续4
The “Chaking” consists of three volumes and ten chapters. In the first chapter Luwuh treats of the nature of the tea-plant, in the second of the implements for gathering the leaves, in the third of the selection of the leaves. According to him the best quality of the leaves must have “creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like fine earth newly swept by rain.”
茶经分为三册，共有十个章节。第一章根据对茶树天性的总结来挑选采摘地点和时间，第二章主要讲对制茶的工具的挑选，第三章则是采摘叶子的规则。在陆羽看来，最好的原叶必定是“茶有千万状，卤莽而言，如胡人靴者蹙缩然，犎牛臆者廉檐然，浮云出山者轮菌然，轻飚拂水者涵澹然。有如陶家之子罗，膏土以水澄泚之。又如新治地者，遇暴雨流潦之所经。”（原文中有省略，此段文字为《茶经》原文）
