Chapter 329: The Content of the Promotion Evaluation
After understanding what Song Ziyu knew, Lu Yu had a deeper understanding of the whole thing, and the clues about the tea map came to an end again.
In Lu Yu's plan, there are currently three things that can be prioritized.
Return to the vicinity of Huangshan to help Zhong Wenyu, who was preparing in Mingzhou Village, develop Qi Hong and the Three Musketeers of Qimen, and even Taiping Houkui and other famous teas in Huangshan.
Or go to Dongting Lake to find Biluochun and fulfill his original promise to He Ning.
and transferred to Laoshan to visit Qingyi Daochang and Yilan to understand the secrets of Taoist tea.
These three things have been agreed upon before or can already be carried out specific work, as for the famous tea Lu Yu in the rest of the places, he is ready to wait until the "promotion evaluation" to find them one by one.
But apparently, the tea man's promotion evaluation came a little faster than he expected.
Just the next day, Lu Yu, who had just gotten up, suddenly received a call from Bian Liangji.
"Lu Yu, have you received the email?"
"Email?" Lu Yu stretched and asked suspiciously.
Bian Liangji said: "It's the email for promotion and evaluation! Hahahaha! Our Huaxia Tea People Association has finally done something serious!"
Hearing Bian Liangji's hearty laughter on the other end of the phone, Lu Yu couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
What does this have to do with whether or not the Huaxia Tea Federation is doing its right thing? Isn't the tea people's promotion evaluation every year? Is this year's evaluation different from previous years?
Feeling Lu Yu's indifference, Bian Liangji couldn't help asking, "So you haven't read the email yet?"
Lu Yu said: "Yes! I haven't read the email in the past few days! Didn't you say that there will be a phone call before the assessment?"
Bian Liangji said helplessly: "The email is sent in advance, if you don't reply within two days, there will be a phone notification! What are you busy with?
Lu Yu smiled silently, he has not been idle recently. Even if it weren't for the news on the Internet about the promotion and evaluation of this tea person, he would probably have forgotten about this stubble a long time ago. Especially the email, I receive a lot of spam every day, who knows that it is sent by Huaxia Tea?!
However, hearing Bian Liangji's attitude, Lu Yu couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Brother Bian, what is the situation? Is there any difference in this evaluation?"
"Of course it's different!"
Bian Liangji said: "The topic of this promotion evaluation is to demonstrate our Chinese tea culture! The Huaxia Tea Federation will come up with the relevant historical basis, and all the new tea people will choose the topic for argumentation! I have long heard that the Huaxia Tea People Federation has been secretly collecting evidence of our Chinese tea culture, and now it can finally be taken out and made public to the world, so that everyone can demonstrate! Although it is only a small-scale demonstration, it can finally open our eyes! Hahaha......
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Argument?"
Bian Liangji said: "That's right, it's an argument! In fact, our Huaxia Tea Federation has been trying to collect evidence of the existence of Huaxia tea culture, but you also know that these evidences are difficult to collect and difficult to be recognized.
Lu Yu also nodded lightly when he heard this.
As Bian Liangji said, there are some things that are difficult to be strong evidence even if they are recorded in history.
For example, the records of the "Xia Dynasty" and the previous three emperors and five emperors in Chinese history, although there are historical records in history, but because there is no archaeological basis for the actual existence in history, they have not been recognized by the world history community until now.
It is also like the "geodynamic instrument" invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty of China.
Even if there are detailed descriptions in the documents of the time, no one has been able to restore this miraculous instrument to this day, and even the current scientific methods cannot achieve such a miracle as the geokinetic instrument.
So much so that the "geodynamic instrument" has now been classified as the same as the "wooden bird that can fly" made by Lu Ban, and has become a kind of work "imagined" by the ancient Chinese people. Not recognized by the world's historical and scientific communities.
The same is true of tea culture, where documentary sources are not the same as real historical arguments.
If it is only recorded in historical books and materials, then the relative historical recognition will not be too high.
Just like the "Shennong's Materia Medica" found by Lu Yu with the "road signs of civilization" before, although it can be said in a sense that there were records about tea in China as early as more than 2,000 years ago, there are controversies such as "whether tea is a drink" or "whether tea is an imaginary mythological product".
Second, the "Shennong's Materia Medica" does not describe the specific location and taste of tea, so it is difficult to be recognized by the tea industry.
Even if all Chinese tea people are inclined to the idea that tea originated in China, in the absence of conclusive evidence, it can only be wishful thinking. For such a demanding historical issue, truly objective evidence is needed.
And now the Huaxia Tea Federation has actually taken out the information they have collected for these new tea people to participate in the promotion evaluation to demonstrate, which not only reflects from some aspects that the Huaxia Tea Federation is likely to have some corresponding historical evidence, but also shows that the Huaxia Tea Federation has given up the "forbearance" and is ready to vigorously revitalize the tea culture!
For all Huaxia tea people, this is indeed a thing to be happy and even cheer about!
Speaking of this, Bian Liangji continued: "Although it was not stated in the email, I almost got the exact news, this promotion evaluation is not only special in content, but also the intensity of the reward is unprecedented, it is said that if you make outstanding contributions, you will likely be directly promoted to the national second-level tea people!"
"National second-level?" Lu Yu was also a little surprised.
You must know that the upper limit of the promotion evaluation has always been to be directly promoted to the national third-level tea person!
This is true both in China and abroad, and this is an international practice. And even so, there are very few people who can be directly promoted to third-level tea people, and on average, it takes about two or three evaluations to have one such tea person.
But this time, he was able to directly advance to the national second-level tea people! That is the qualification of a tea person who can already be called a "master"!
The strength of this promotion and the high level of glory are absolutely unprecedented!
Bian Liangji sighed on the other end of the phone: "But at such a high level, we can only think about it now, and with such a high promotion strength, it will not be too simple to think about...... I've thought about it, among those of us who can have the opportunity to be directly promoted to the second-level tea people, I'm afraid only Yi Lan. I hope that the Qingyi Daoist of Laoshan can help......"
