Tea affairs are only one aspect of social life, but when reviewing its details within the scope of "Complete Poems of the Song Dynasty" and "Complete Song Ci", one cannot help but be surprised by its richness. The subtle details in tea affairs are originally sentiments, situations, and spirits in tea poems; the choice of tea drinking method often shows the drinker's magnanimity and spirit.
