Chinese Clay Tea Pot

Recommended Posts

茶煙永日香 - "Eternal fragrance of steaming tea" as a rough translation. It's a quote from a poem by Fang Hui: 谷雨深春近,茶烟永日香_作者方回_出自《治圃杂书二十首·芍药抽红锐》_国学荟 (gushicimingju.com). I'll have a look in my anthologies and see if a better translator than me has given a good version. The 煙 is smoke rather than steam literally but I don't think it's used here to mean the charcoal under the pot.

 

ETA Nothing in the anthologies I have to hand unfortunately. Seems there's a French translation of some of his poetry but nothing else mentioned.
