Hello,
does anyone happen to exactly where is Lu Yu=B4s tomb? I saw a picture of his memorial stone in one Chinese language tea book but in the text it was not mentioned where it is situated. In one poorly translated French book about Chinese tea (originally written by a Chinese)I read, that his final resting place was unknown for a long time but apparently they have found it or at least otimistically believe to have found it. Yugen. |

I know of a memorial pavillion in Tianmen county, Hunan province, but I have
never heard of his tomb. I am just afraind that the "discovery" of such a tomb would be just a smart way to improve the tourism in an area claiming a tea legacy. It reminds me the Zhongling spring re-decoverded in Zhenjiang at the beginning of XX century and the adjacent site of Guo Pu' s tomb. > ha scritto nel messaggio ups.com...

Ciao Livio!
Yes, I know that rather modest looking pavilion in his native village too. Actually I have not been there myself, but it was visited by the camera group in one Chinese triple-DVD on tea culture that I bought in Hong Kong few years ago. But the photograph of his supposed burial place was in one of the quite many recent Chinese editions of "Chajing" (Classic of Tea) and under the picture it was written simply "Lu Yu=B4s tomb" without any futher explanations where it might be located. For a tea devotee like myself, that would be an obvious place to visit and burn an incence or two. So if it really exists somewhere, it is surprising that the local tourist organizations do not make more noise about it. The worst case would be of course , that there exists or gradually start to appear several Lu Yu=B4s tombs in various places! Best wishes, Yugen |

what? luyu's tomb!... i really doubt it because as of this day know one
even knows what he looked like, what i mean is there are not paintings, or drawings of him, alot of people, scholars and such, including me and Livio Zanini, would love to know what he looked like if it is true then he really needs to be dug up just to get a peek, you might have seen sculptures of lu yu, but i can assure you they are only what has been accepted over the years to be his image. he actually was ugly or at least we can say not handsome, not like the sculptures. i am getting my info from historians that study and write about him in china/taiwan. i have seen some pictures of some monuments dedicated to him in china icetea |

Best wishes, Yugen That won't be too strange, since there are three or four tombs of general Guan Yu. I hope to find something about Lu Yu's tomb... of course there won't be so many, since he had not his head cutted and buried in a different place like Guan Yu. Livio |
