藉茶當酒，發思古之幽情

三年前的美好回憶，讓我想起親人了。

「寒夜客來茶當酒，竹爐湯沸火初紅。尋常ㄧ樣窗前月，才有梅花便不同。」，這是宋代詩人杜小山的ㄧ首跟品茗有關的詩詞「寒食」。雖然我不是詩人，但很難得我今日有此雅興，藉著茶當酒，附墉風雅ㄧ番。

小弟錦祥，從台灣帶來了ㄧ組美麗的茶具，說要與我對酌，把「茶」言歡ㄧ番。面對著瑰麗的大煙山景緻，我自是不願錯過這美麗的邀約。雖然，還沒有到吟詩頌詞的地步，但我們就是想要藉「茶」當歌，享受一下當下的美好。

許多年，沒有這樣暢快地與弟弟閒話家常了，淡雅的金萱茶香，不慍不火，就像是啜飲不盡的生生不息的文化馨香，餘韻猶存。讓異鄉遊子的我，也開始發思古之幽情了....

My younger brother Jeremy who brought a beautiful tea set from Taiwan, and  he would like to talk to me and make Chinese tea for me during his visiting of Tennessee.

For many years, I haven’t been chatting with my younger brothers. The elegant golden tea was incense, and it was like a scent of culture and lingering, and the aftertaste still exists. As like we were traveling to a foreign country, and I began to think about the ancient feelings...
