Lu Yu

For six years, Lu Yu stayed in Huomen mountain studying under the guidance of master Zou Fuzi.

He also took care of fellow students' health using his remarkable knowledge in tea and herbs that he learned while at the Longgai Monastery.

Whenever time permitted between his studies Lu Yu often went to the countryside to gather tea leaves and herbs.

City folks found water still flowing from this well uncovered by Lu Yu and dug by Zou Fuzi.

In 752 Lu Yu concluded his studies, bade farewell to his Shifu (teacher) Zou Fuzi (邹夫子) and returned to Jingling to meet his benefactor Li Qiwu (李齐物).

Even though Cui was many years older than Lu Yu, both men shared the same interest in tea, literature, and poetry.

Li Jiqing knew there were two masters of brewing tea, Chang Boxiong (常伯熊) and Lu Yu.

Lu Yu considered that as shame and wrote Hui Chalun (毁茶论), a book about behaviors that could ruin tea culture.
