Du Mu (803-852), a Chinese poet of the late Tang Dynasty, wrote, “Titled in Zen–In” which is the last portion of quatrain with seven-word lines of Chinese poetry. At a tea ceremony set under cherry trees, the aromatic scent of the charcoal fire has been floating from the boiling tea. That has been fanned by a breeze and spread with the sprinkling of falling flower petals. Such a sentiment of spring in full bloom can be enjoyed from this poem.
