After reading the Book of Tea written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, I have a certain understanding of tea ceremony, tea art, the origin of tea, the origin of tea picking, the classification of tea and so on. China is the hometown of tea, and tea culture has a long history. For thousands of years, drinking and tasting tea has been an indispensable part of China people's daily life.
China is the motherland of tea, and the Chinese nation is the first country to discover, cultivate, process and utilize tea. With a long history of tea production, vast tea planting area, superior natural conditions and exquisite picking technology, China famous tea with a long history, dazzling array and various forms has been formed. China has a history of tea culture of more than 4,000 years. Because tea has natural, attractive and unique colors, tastes and shapes, tea has a unique effect on human body.
The core of China tea culture is tea ceremony, which is an art of tea tasting that expresses certain etiquette, personality, aesthetic point of view, spirit and artistic conception through tea tasting activities (making tea, tasting tea and drinking tea). It is a combination of tea art and spirit, which expresses the spirit through tea art, mainly paying attention to the harmony of five realms (namely tea, tea soup, temperature and environment) and following certain laws and regulations.
Tea art is the art of drinking tea, the method and artistic conception of tea tasting. Tea art began in the Tang Dynasty, mainly including the skills of preparing utensils, selecting water, making a fire, waiting for soup, learning tea, the environment, manners and etiquette of tea tasting. Tea art includes tea, water, utensils, fire, people and environment. It can also be said that tea art is an artistic activity for tea people to choose tea, prepare utensils, choose water, make a fire, cook tea and drink alcohol under certain circumstances. The spiritual characteristics of Chinese tea art are divided into four aspects: attitude, health, temperament and communication.
