Du Yu's Bian Fu is the earliest tea poem in China. The full text is as follows: "The mountains are only beautiful, the clock is strange, the grass is raw, and the rice is cut. It is nourished by fertile soil and watered by rain. It's only early autumn in June, so there is little rest for farm work. This is a question of taking and seeking to get married and travel together. Water is a note on the edge, clear; The selection of pottery slips comes from the east corner; For example, use Gongliu. But this is the first time, the foam is floating, like snow and like spring. "

This poem "Bian Fu" is the earliest poem and fu work dedicated to tea in China, and it is the literary basis of early tea culture in ancient China. For the first time, the whole process of tea from planting and growing environment to picking season and labor scene, to the choice of tea water and tea set, and the effect of drinking tea was recorded completely. In his works, "taking Gongliu as an example" means that Du Yu is engaged in the art of tea soup. Like the sage Gong Liu, tea drinking utensils are all made of gourds. This is a quotation from the chapter "Use with caution" in The Book of Songs, Daya Gong Liu. The first time I wrote about the scale of planting tea, the collection of autumn tea, the adaptation of ceramics and the characteristics of tea soup. These four firsts are enough to make Zhuan Xu's position in the history of tea culture development in China impressive.

Du Yu was later praised as "beautiful and graceful" by the world. Mr. Gong Liuzi (Zhou Wentang) wrote Tea Ceremony, thinking that Du Yu was the first person to drink tea with elegant culture. Because he endowed tea drinking activities with aesthetic art, and thus implied the cultivation of educating people, Mr. Gong Liuzi believed that Du Yu's Zhuan Fu marked the germination of tea ceremony culture in China. Note: Gong Liu (around16th century BC) is the ancestor of the Zhou tribe, and it is one of the epics of the Zhou tribe, praising Gong Liu's great achievements in leading his people from Thailand to Jin.

Du Yu wrote the Book of Changes (Confucian classics, also divination books, such as the Book of Changes or Zhouyi). ) and Du Yu's Collected Works, among which Sui Shu and Tang Jing Lu are widely circulated. The Book of the Whole Jin Dynasty contains five works, including Du Yu's prose Zhuan Fu. The full text of Zhuan Fu is as follows. "Lingshan Weiyue, odd product by the clock. Jue Sheng Cao, Mi Gu laid off. It is nourished by fertile soil and watered by rain. It's only early autumn in June, so there is little rest for farm work. This is a question of taking and seeking to get married and travel together. Water is a note on the edge, clear; The selection of pottery slips comes from the east corner; For example, use Gongliu. But this is the first time, the foam is floating, like snow and spring. If it is pure and true, the color is responsible for the blue cream. White and yellow Xu Ruo. Adjust your mind and heart and get rid of it. "
