Chapter Two - Tools of Making Tea from Book of Tea by Lu Yu.

茶經卷上競陵陸羽撰。二之具

籝 (yíng)，一曰籃，一曰籠，一曰筥。以竹織之，受五升，或一斗、二斗、三鬥者，茶人負以採茶也。

灶無用 (穴犮) 者，釜用唇口者。

甑 (zèng)，或木或瓦，匪腰而泥，籃以簞之，篾以系之。始其蒸也，入乎簞，既其熟也，出乎簞。釜涸注於甑中，又以谷木枝三亞者制之，散所蒸牙筍並葉，畏流其膏。

杵臼，一曰碓，惟恆用者佳。

規，一曰模，一曰棬。以鐵製之，或圓或方或花。

承，一曰臺，一曰砧。以石為之，不然以槐、桑木半埋地中，遣無所搖動。

簷 (yán)，一曰衣。以油絹或雨衫單服敗者為之，以簷置承上，又以規置簷上，以造茶也。茶成，舉而易之。

芘莉，一曰羸子，一曰<旁>筤。以二小竹長三赤，軀二赤五寸，柄五寸，以篾織，方眼如圃，人土羅闊二赤，以列茶也。

棨 (qǐ)，一曰錐刀，柄以堅木為之，用穿茶也。

撲，一曰鞭。以竹為之，穿茶以解茶也。

焙，鑿地深二尺，闊二尺五寸，長一丈，上作短牆，高二尺，泥之。

貫，削竹為之，長二尺五寸，以貫茶焙之。

棚，一曰棧，以木構於焙上，編木兩層，高一尺，以焙茶也。茶之半乾升下棚，全乾升上棚。

穿，江東淮南剖竹為之，巴川峽山紉穀皮為之。江東以一斤為上穿，半斤為中穿，四兩五兩為小穿。峽中以一百二十斤為上，八十斤為中穿，五十斤為小穿。字舊作釵釧之“釧”，字或作貫串，今則不然。如磨、扇、彈、鑽、縫五字，文以平聲書之，義以去聲呼之，其字以穿名之。

育，以木製之，以竹編之，以紙糊之，中有隔，上有覆，下有床，傍有門，掩一扇，中置一器，貯煻煨火，令熅熅然，江南梅雨時焚之以火。
