Chapter 314: TV Interview, Deep Fermentation
"China's tea culture has a long history and can be said to be the originator of the world's tea culture. As early as 770 B.C., in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Book of Songs, written in the Book of Songs, there are words about tea. ”
On a TV program in the United States, a sinologist was shaking his head to introduce Chinese tea culture to the host and audience: "Such as: "Shao Feng. Gu Feng": Who is bitter, its sweetness is like a camellia, "Feng Feng. July "Shu Tho in September, picking tea, eating my farmer, "Feng Feng. The Owl is given to the hands and the ...... Wait a minute. ”
Although the sinologist did his best to translate these words, a group of Americans still felt incomprehensible. Even the host was at a loss. After all, it is not easy to translate ancient Chinese poetry into English.
"Whether it was in the pre-Qin period or now. Chinese are accustomed to making tea when guests arrive at home. Serving tea to guests is the most basic etiquette, which has become a habit of life. Of course, the more refined ones will pay attention to the tea art of making tea. ”
But I saw this sinologist smile and say: "This kind of hospitality art is the Chinese tea art we see in Washington today." Unlike the tea art of Japan and South Korea, the tea art of China is the originator of tea art. After years of development, there has been a free and easy artistic conception. What is particular is courtesy, casualness, free and easy but respectful. ”
This is in stark contrast to the tea art of Japan and South Korea. Although the tea art of Japan and South Korea seems to be more appreciative, it is the Chinese tea art that is the originator of tea art that is more life-like and more comfortable and relaxing. ”
"Wait! Mr. Hammies, first of all, I do not doubt your professionalism. However, it seems a bit biased to extract proof from a single record to argue that China's tea-drinking culture originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”
saw the host's eyes flash, and said softly: "Of course, I don't deny that tea culture originated in China. But it seems too much to conclude that China's tea culture originated hundreds of years B.C., ......"
"Dear Mr. Johnson, in fact I think the habit of Chinese drinking tea is much earlier." But I saw Hammis smile and said to Johnson, who was the host: "According to the "Huayang National Chronicles" written by Chang Xuan of the Jin Kingdom between 348 and 354 AD. Ba Zhi recorded: 'King Wu of Zhou fell. The teacher of Bashu, tea and honey are tribute. ’”
And the time he stated above coincides with the appearance of tea drinking in the Spring and Autumn Period described in the Book of Songs. Of course, there are also sources of Chinese tea-drinking habits such as the 'Three Kingdoms Theory' and the 'Western Han Dynasty Theory', but it is certain that the history of tea drinking is at least fixed around 200 A.D., and there is at least a thousand years of history to this day. ”
Johnson could only swallow his saliva with a grunt at this time. Thousands of years of history. The heaviness made him a little out of breath. At that time, I am afraid that Johnson's ancestors, the Young Grus-Saxons, were being beaten by the Huns from the East and fleeing for their lives.
Not to mention the development of civilization, saving life is a problem. The Huns, who were beaten by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, had to migrate all over the land to find teeth, but after arriving in the West, they became the whip of God that made the entire European continent extremely panicked.
Arati's thrashing has terrified the entire Western world for more than a thousand years. To this day, there are still people who keep talking about the whip of God that makes the West tremble. Of course, there are also Westerners who firmly believe that the Huns who went to the west are not the Huns who migrated by the Han Dynasty.
"The tea culture displayed by the Chinese side this time can be said to be a very good window for us to understand Chinese tea culture. There is even a large part of the tea culture they show that I don't understand. For this reason, I specially bought a few more tickets, hoping to have an in-depth conversation and understanding with the tea inheritors at the exhibition......"
Liang Sanping, who was in front of the TV, saw this and turned off the TV with a smile. At this time, Liang Sanping's goal has been basically completed. In terms of sustained heat, the experts they invited gave them a perfect hot session.
In the next few days, it is believed that more Americans will have a strong interest in the tea art showcase. It's enough here, and as long as they're interested, then they will continue to keep the media on the matter. At the same time, more experts will be invited to analyze tea.
This will create a virtuous circle where people are paying attention to the tea and starting to taste it the Chinese way. Then the sales of tea will naturally climb steadily. As long as the health of tea is highlighted, then Americans will naturally flock to it.
Sure enough, over the next two days, Americans began to pay attention to the display. The mysterious oriental culture, the craftsmanship and skills inherited for thousands of years. A display of tea art movements. Leave a large part of Americans hooked.
Even some variety shows began to invite masters to perform tea art on the show and conduct interviews at the same time. By this time. China's tea art is completely popular in the United States. The ongoing focus is also growing.
"In fact, what I want you to understand is that Chinese tea is not only an art, a philosophy and an attitude to life, but also a healthy drink." At this time, health experts in the United States also began to appear on television as well.
In order to open up the ratings, some current affairs programs have begun to find new ways. And at this time, someone "reminded" them, is tea as a drink healthy?! And for this. The program specially invited health experts who specialize in tea to analyze.
"Tea is rich in this large amount of tea polyphenols, and studies have shown that active substances such as tea polyphenols have detoxification and anti-radiation effects, can effectively prevent radioactive substances from invading the bone marrow, and can make strontium-90 and cobalt-60 quickly excreted from the body. It is known as the 'radiation buster' by the health and medical community. ”
"At the same time, studies have shown that the tea polyphenols rich in tea can strongly scavenge harmful free radicals, block the lipid peroxidation process, and improve the activity of enzymes in the human body, thereby playing an anti-mutation and anti-cancer effect."
But the expert smiled and said: "We are studying this in depth, but the information we have at present shows that." In the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, blood lipids, liver and coronary atherosclerosis, stroke and thrombosis...... and so on. Tea polyphenols have their own unique effects, and regular consumption is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the body......"
Soon, this remark was once again on the front page of major American newspapers. At the same time, newspapers also published information about the historical relationship between the United States and tea. From the Boston Tea Party, to the current volume of tea imports.
Countless people have been amazed and amazed, and the drinking of tea has begun to take root in the hearts of the people. Then this shareholder wind, Nelson, who has this keen business sense, began to discuss with Liang Sanping, Li Jiacheng and others to set up a special tea art promotion council.
On the one hand, this council will invite those celebrities and members of wealthy families, and on the other hand, it will communicate with the people to do special Chinese tea art and tea promotion. Of course, this qiē is free.
As long as you make a small donation to the Council's promotion fund, you can participate in the tea art lectures held regularly. At the same time, they will also be organized to go to China to learn about the formation of the entire tea culture in the birthplace of tea art.
"I have to admit that this Mr. Liang Sanping is indeed a good means...... "Bill. Volt smiled in his office and pinched an invitation that Nelson had delivered. Nelson connected with Bill. Volt.
Of course, this is also Bill. Volt deliberately. First of all, with his status, Nelson would certainly be desperately eager to get close to him and get support from him. To this Bill. Volt knows it.
And businessmen, when talking about business, whoever comes first will be a head shorter. Bill. It is impossible for Volt to surrender his identity to talk to Nelson about something, whether it is from the status or prestige assets, only Nelson desperately wants to talk to Bill. Volt hitches on the part of the relationship. Yes, Bill. Volt only had to cough a little, and naturally someone told the knowledgeable Nelson.
Nelson was very knowledgeable, and quickly got the middleman to Bill. Volt sent an invitation. Of course, in the West this should probably be called an "invitation". This invitation is an invitation to Bill. Volt participates in the tea art exhibition within the Tea Art Promotion Council. And for that, Bill. Volt naturally does not shirk.
"Sir, what do you think of our cooperation with Nelson...... Or the cooperation with that Mr. Liang Sanping. Will it be profitable?! "But I saw Bill. Volt's nephew, his current assistant, frowned and whispered.
"To be honest, even if it's the tea industry. I've only seen a small profit, is this little benefit worth it for us to befriend Nelson?! ”
Bill. Volt looked at his nephew and couldn't help but sigh. This nephew is not good at this, and he pays too much attention to his status. Sometimes it's good to pay attention to this, but more often you don't need to pay attention to it.
"Sam, my nephew. I want you to know that it's a little guy who does it. Because they need this to establish their authority. But as us, the Volt family doesn't need to play music at all. ”
But only Bill. Volt looked at his nephew and said very seriously: "Our family is already at the top, even if we are now wearing the worst suits and slippers to talk about business. As long as it's our family, then everyone needs to give us respect. ”
"At this time, it's not good for us to focus too much on who we are. What we should learn more is how to respect others. This is the foundation of our success and one of the fundamentals of our family's continuity. ”
Bill. Volt said, standing up and exclaiming, "A lot of times, squandering the trust and respect that others have for you. It's deadly! (To be continued......)
