Luwuh-Chaking

「Its needed the genius of the Tang dynasty to emancipate Tea from its crude state and lead to its final idealisation. Witn Luwuh in the middle of the eighth century we have our our first apostle of tea.
He was born in an age when Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism were seeking mutual synthesis. The pantheistic symbolism of the time was urging one to mirror the Universal in the Particular.
Luwuh, a poet, saw in the Tea-service the same harmony and order which reigned through all things. In his celebrated work, the "Chaking"(The Holy Scripture of Tea) he formulated the Code of Tea. He has since been worshipped as the tutelary god of the Chinese tea merchants.」（From The Book of Tea-The School of Tea pp.23-24,Charles E. Tuttle Co.,Rutland,Vermont-Tokyo,Japan)
The "Chaking" is the most historically important Book written by Luwuh, which is recognized and named as the "The Holy Scripture of Tea". Even our generation,The Book is still the very important Book to understand all about the Tea. We can say He is The Saint of Tea by the works of written book.
