== Lu Yu in ''New Book of Tang'' == The ''[[New Book of Tang]]'' is the historical record of the [[Tang dynasty]] (618–907) by scholars in the [[Song dynasty]] (960–1279). A chapter in the New Book of Tang is Lu Yu's biography. The book recorded Lu Yu's obsession with tea, and he wrote a three-volume book ''Ch'a Ching'' about details of tea's origin, the method of cultivating and drinking tea, and the tools of tea drinking. The tea sellers of that time would make pottery statues of Lu Yu and worship him as the "tea god."<ref>{{Cite web|title=新唐書/卷196 – 维基文库,自由的图书馆|url=https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E5%94%90%E6%9B%B8/%E5%8D%B7196|access-date=2021-12-07|website=zh.wikisource.org|language=zh}}</ref> The new imperial supervisor Li Jiqing (李季卿) supervised the southeastern region of the Tang dynasty. Li Jiqing knew there were two masters of brewing tea, Chang Boxiong (常伯熊) and Lu Yu. When Li Jiqing visited Chang Boxiong, Li respected Chang by raising the teacup several times. When Li Jiqing visited Lu Yu, Lu was in a costume of villagers, so Li did not salute Lu. Lu Yu considered that as shame and wrote ''Hui Chalun'' (毁茶论), a book about behaviors that could ruin tea culture. After ''Ch'a Ching'' and ''Hui Chalun'', drinking tea became popular in the Tang dynasty.<ref>{{Cite web|title=新唐書/卷196 – 维基文库,自由的图书馆|url=https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E5%94%90%E6%9B%B8/%E5%8D%B7196|access-date=2021-12-07|website=zh.wikisource.org|language=zh}}</ref>
