Thesis
The key words in “其造具若方春禁火之时于野寺山园丛手而掇乃蒸乃” are not ornament. They mark where Tang tea names, vessels and provenance meet.
Text
“As for the making tools: if at early spring, during the cold-food days, one gathers with many hands in a wild temple or mountain garden, steaming and pounding on the spot, then drying over fire — the seven implements can all be dispensed with.”
Context
禁火：寒食节禁火。野寺山园现采现做，工具可从简，七种器具都可省去。
Evidence
- Collation: "七事"各本一致，指制茶七种器具名目；"禁火"指寒食节禁烟火之俗，各本无出入。
- Existing readings: 吴觉农解读：此句讲"因地制宜、从简制茶"——野外现采现做可省七器，体现陆羽"器为茶用、不为器所困"的务实精神。
Analysis
The annotation matters less as philology than as a distinction between name and thing. "七事"各本一致，指制茶七种器具名目；"禁火"指寒食节禁烟火之俗，各本无出入。 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.
