 * The problem might be that an English translation is not past copyright...XinJeisan 04:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The only translation is from 1974, so that is still well within copyright. However, what does this reference (Shapira, et al., 150)?????XinJeisan 04:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

first monograph?
It seems to me that The Record of Tea is the same subject, but much earlier. Yet this article claims that this book is the first monograph about tea in the world. 64.202.157.11 (talk) 02:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Chajing was written during the Tang dinasty, while Chalu was written during the Song dinasty. Since Tang came before Song, it is impossible that Chalu is earlier than Chajing. Indeed, Chajing was written between 760 and 780 CE, while Chalu was written in 1049 CE (i.e. at least 270 years later).

poem source
A source citation is needed for the poem by Huangpu Zheng -- for both the original poem and the translation, ideally. I think that the poem should not be included if the source citation is lacking. Tksb (talk) 08:58, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
