Thesis
The key words in “晋时吴兴太守陆纳谢安来访纳所设惟茶果而已” are not ornament. They mark where Tang tea names, vessels and provenance meet.
Text
“In the Jin, Lu Na, governor of Wuxing, when Xie An came to call, set out only tea and fruit.”
Context
吴兴：今浙江湖州。陆纳：东晋名臣。谢安：东晋名相。茶果：茶与果品。
Evidence
- Collation: 各本一致。此典为"以茶待客、清廉简朴"的著名范例。
- Existing readings: 吴觉农评此典：陆纳以茶果待谢安，不以酒肉铺张，是"俭德"的具体实践——后世"茶礼"之重俭，源头正在于此。
Analysis
The annotation matters less as philology than as a distinction between name and thing. 各本一致。此典为"以茶待客、清廉简朴"的著名范例。 Once names settle, picking, grading and trade can share a language.
Conclusion
The section does not give a universal rule. It demonstrates a method: read the text, the annotation and the Tang context together before making a modern claim.
