When it comes to tea, many people know that China is the birthplace of tea culture, and the history of Chinese people drinking tea can be traced back to the late matriarchal society, that is, the era of Shennong, which has a history of five or six thousand years, but the history of tea fighting is not so long.

This custom began in the Tang Dynasty as 'Ming Zhan' and later became popular in the Song Dynasty as Tea Fighting.

Because during the Song Dynasty, the imperial court established a tribute tea system at the local level, and the local government needed a method to evaluate the quality of tea in order to select tribute. According to the characteristics of the tea ordering method, the folk have risen to fight tea.

Tea fights, mostly for two people to catch the right "tear kill", three fights and two wins, the term for calculating the victory or defeat is called "a few water differences".

"In addition to the influence of the tribute tea system, there is also a fundamental reason for the emergence of tea buckets." After Tian Lao finished speaking, he sold the guanzi, took a sip of tea, and deliberately closed his eyes, tasted the product, and saw Kong Sizhi roll his eyes.

Before the Song Dynasty, China's tea ceremony was still dominated by the sencha ceremony, but in the Song Dynasty, changes took place, and the method of ordering tea became fashionable.

Different from the sencha method of the Tang Dynasty, the tea ordering method of the Song Dynasty was to put the tea leaves in the tea bowl, inject a small amount of boiling water to make a paste, and then inject boiling water, or directly inject boiling water into the tea bowl, and at the same time stir with a tea whisk, the tea powder floats up to form porridge noodles.

"Wait! Is this still tea? Isn't it the same as sesame paste? Wu Chen frowned, he is a person who is used to drinking Chaoshan Kung Fu tea, and he pays attention to the clarity of the tea, like this, it is really the same as the black sesame paste in the south.

"Hehe, it's rare and weird! There are many places where the 'tea' is still mushy like this! Tian Lao Ha Luha smiled, and without much explanation, he continued to popularize the custom of tea fighting to them.

In those days, all the people who participated in the tea fight, to offer their own famous tea, take turns to taste, to decide the winner, the tea fight to go through the collective evaluation, to have the best for the victory.

The content of the competition includes the hue and aroma of tea, the mellow aroma of tea soup, the advantages and disadvantages of tea sets, and the urgency of boiling water and heat.

The decisive criterion for victory or defeat is the color of the soup and the second is the soup flower. The color of the soup is the color of the tea, and the standard is pure white, and the blue and white, gray and white, yellow and white ones are slightly inferior. Tanghua refers to the foam that spreads from the soup noodles. The color of the soup flower is closely related to the color of the soup, so the color of the soup flower is also bright white; The second is that after the soup flowers are flooded, the water marks appear sooner or later. The early one loses, and the late one wins.

The Song Dynasty was an era of great emphasis on the tea ceremony, from the emperor to the scholars, all of whom were not bad about this, and wrote books and theories about it. For example, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wrote "Daguan Tea Treatise", Cai Xiang wrote "Tea Record", and Huang Ru wrote "Tea Tasting Record......

Some literati in the society are also popular with a kind of "tea fighting" life interest, Su Shi said in "Seven Bowls of Tea Poems": "...... One bowl of throat kiss moist, two bowls of broken loneliness. Three bowls of dry intestines, only 5,000 volumes of words. Four bowls of light sweat, life injustice, all to the pores. Five bowls of muscles and bones, six bowls of fairies. Seven bowls can't be eaten, but the two armpits are used to the breeze. Penglai Mountain, where is it? Tamagawako took advantage of this breeze to return to ......".

Xu Shaodong can also be regarded as a person who has officially worshipped the teacher, and the basic things are naturally not a problem, and there are many of these things that he knows the Tao, and now he has no special feeling when he reviews them.

Wu Chen and Kong Si listened very carefully, but their thoughts were different, Wu Chen was infinitely fascinated by the world of this scholar in the Song Dynasty, this is a leisurely life! Kong Si thought in his heart, those guys are really full, no wonder the two Song Dynasty have been bullied in turn for more than 300 years!

Wang Yourong also felt that those people were bored, and he would look at Bai He's chest for a while, and sweep her bare thighs for a while, and his mind would change postures and toss her.

"Hehe, don't be sour, Tian Tuhao!" Seeing that Tian Lao was still immersed in the poems, Huang Lao smiled, interrupted his thoughts, walked straight to the desk, and lifted a yellow cloth, but it was a picture scroll.

"This is a picture of "Tea Fighting" that the little old man got some time ago, how about it, everyone has seen it." He spread it out and said in a rather smug tone, it seems that he is also quite optimistic about this painting.

There are not a lot of tea fights, because tea fights are a very important part of the life of the Song people, and there are some painters in the people of the time and the Yuan and Ming dynasties, leaving paintings about tea fights, and even in the Qingming Riverside map, there are scenes of tea fights.

Huang Lao took out this "Tea Fighting Picture", at a glance, it feels full of life, there are five characters in the whole picture, and there are several tea sets with tea sets next to the characters. The person in front of the left wears straw sandals, holds a cup in one hand, holds a tea bucket in the other, and shows his chest and arms, as if boasting about the beautiful quality of his tea, showing a proud face. Behind him, his sleeves rolled up, holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other, he was pouring the tea soup into his arms.

The whole picture is compact and dynamic, giving people an immersive feeling. The characters in the painting seem to know that Lu Dao is not a high-ranking official or dignitary, but a folk tea person, which also reflects the popularity of tea fighting in the Song Dynasty from one side.

Wu Chen didn't study calligraphy and painting the most, let alone speak lightly, and when he turned his head to see Kong Si with a grinning look, he couldn't tell whether he understood it or not, but Xu Shaodong frowned and bowed his head silently, and his face was hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Wu Chen lightly touched Xu Shaodong, if you want to talk about true talent and real learning, he is a pink newcomer, and Kong Si, a second-class dealer, but they are not Xu Er's opponents, they are serious and famous!

"Strange, this painting seems to be Zhao Mengwan Mo Sang to make the engraving howl blowing Jiao T Zhao Meng Wan Mo Sang Jun Hui to shoot Wu Kan for 崾呛笕倌〉 Mo Sangjun

Xu Shaodong was distracted, recalling the details of the painting, when Wu Chen touched it, he explained to him, his voice was not high, but the hall was very quiet, but everyone heard it.

Wu Chen's heart tightened when he heard this! Zhao Mengfang'an, Zhao Meng, ∫Γ Zhao Meng, Zhao Xuan,

"You mean ......?" Sure enough, after listening to Li Lao, he also frowned, some people in the Song Dynasty, he is also familiar with it, if Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi and others are using poetry to express the reality of tea fighting, then the painters of the past dynasties are painting to "photo" tea fighting.

The earliest painter to express tea fighting was Liu Songnian, and the most famous one was Zhao Mengwan's imitation of the shaking of the Fan Muscle Punishment Partner, the patella bandit, the Xian Neon, and the Huan Ji Rejection of the thin barium Mu Fan Xuan [Ah

This Zhao Meng's mortar prying, weft, Nao, and far, and this and all of them have been barbarium, and they have been in a state of absurdity, and they have been in a state of flux, and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (14) and they are not shrugged (1

However, Zhao Mengwan shook the muscles of the mortal squid, and the squid was exhausted
