In the hustle and bustle of the city, the tea table is like a serene and pure land, allowing tea lovers to transcend the earthly world, return to their true selves, and feel themselves in the curling fragrance of tea, pursuing the state of oneness between man and tea. And a set of exquisite tea sets is not only utensils for tea tasting but also a spiritual sustenance, which can relieve the stress and exhaustion of the mind during the tea-drinking time. Today, Tongxin She Teahouse sincerely recommends a limited-edition "Elegant and Tranquil Pine Branch Verse Set" of Jingdezhen porcelain to add a unique touch of elegance to your tea table.
This tea set is exquisitely designed and crafted with superb workmanship. The cup has a diameter of 52mm, a height of 45mm, and a capacity of 40cc. It is small and delicate, fitting perfectly in the hand. The gaiwan (covered bowl) has a diameter of 85mm, a height of 55mm, a capacity of 100cc at the brim, and a full capacity of 130cc. Its elegant shape is convenient for the spreading and brewing of tea leaves. The fair cup has a diameter of 80mm, a height of 85mm, and a capacity of 220cc, which can evenly distribute the tea soup. Paired with a persimmon-dyed sashiko tea towel and an exquisite paper box, made of paper and cloth, it looks even more simple and elegant.
On the tea set, the patterns of pine branches and the engraved verses complement each other perfectly. The verse on the gaiwan says, "The passage of time is no longer remembered; only the blooming of flowers marks spring, and their falling marks autumn. There is nothing much to do throughout the year; only know to work at sunrise and rest at sunset." It seems to be telling the leisurely passage of years, allowing people to forget the worldly troubles when tasting tea and immerse themselves in this peaceful cycle of time. The verse on the cup says, "Sometimes plant bamboo when it's raining; hoe the flowers when the door is closed with nothing to do. Idly delete the old lines with a pen; draw water from the spring to try the new tea several times." It depicts a leisurely pastoral life scene. In the fragrance of tea, one can seemingly see the cozy scenes of planting bamboo in the rain and hoeing the flowers in leisure time, and also feel the elegant sentiment of the poet tasting tea and discussing poetry.
When this "Elegant and Tranquil Pine Branch Verse Set" is placed on the tea table, what it occupies is not only physical space but also creates a poetic atmosphere. In this small world, with tea as the medium, one can have a dialogue with the ancients and experience the wonderful fusion of verses and the fragrance of tea.

Whether for personal collection or as a gift to relatives and friends, this "Elegant and Tranquil Pine Branch Verse Set" of Jingdezhen porcelain is undoubtedly an excellent choice, allowing you to experience the elegance and tranquility of life in the process of tea tasting.

（诗文出自：集素篇）
良辰美景，春暖秋凉。负杖蹑履，道遥自乐。临池观鱼，披林听鸟；酌酒一杯，弹琴一曲。
求数刻之乐，庶几居常以待终。筑室数楹，编槿为篱，结茅为亭。以三亩荫竹树栽花果，二亩种蔬菜，四壁清旷，空诸所有。
蓄山童灌园剃草，置二三胡床着亭下，挟书剑以伴孤寂，携琴奕以迟良友，此亦可以娱老。
盖子诗文：流年不复记，但见花开为春，花落为秋；终岁无所营，惟知日出而作，日入而息。
杯诗文：带雨有时种竹，关门无事锄花；拈笔闲删旧日句，汲泉几试新茶。
