Where does the poem "Mid-level mountain house waits for the bright moon, and a cup of green tea rewards a bosom friend" come from?

The author of this poem has lost his name. But now it is often used to describe tea.

It probably means:

A person is lonely, sitting alone in a small house on the mountain, waiting for the moon to rise, and his bosom friend comes, with nothing to entertain but a cup of tea.

Now it is often used to describe tea.

It doesn't work for an official to know what it is when drinking tea, but since tea came into being, from the top down to CoCo Lee, people have felt and tasted tea from their own preferences and perspectives, and gradually deduced the same values of insiders round after round. These things, which are praised by everyone but useless, are called "quality" in our parlance today.

Extended data

Tea culture is not only the high-end pride of China elite culture and China literati, but also, like poetry, it has evolved from the upper level to being close to the people, and the people bear the heavy soil derived from culture. Since the Song Dynasty, people have migrated, and neighbors have been asked to "offer tea" as a dowry for men to propose to women.

In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, "tea ceremony" was almost synonymous with marriage. Hiring a woman as a tea ceremony is called "eating tea" and giving a woman as a tea ceremony is called ethical marriage. The concept of tea ceremony was still retained in Qing dynasty. There is a saying that "a good woman doesn't eat two or two teas". Because the nature of tea is unchangeable, the seeds are still there when the flowers bloom. This is called mother-child meeting, which shows loyalty.

For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, after making tea for Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng said humorously, "Since you ate my tea, why don't you be my wife?"

People with China culture and China culture have always attached importance to quality education and advocated inaction.

The primary task of China literati is to be an official, and the so-called "learning to be an official" is the ultimate goal of learning. However, being called "scholar" in China traditional culture seems to have little to do with "official". To be an official, you should learn Confucian classics such as "Four Books and Five Classics".

But no matter how proficient you are in these things, no one will regard you as a scholar. At best, you are a nerd. People are right. It's useless for an official. Tea is one of the typical playthings.
