Chapter 201 Tea Culture One Update
In the gazebo in the hospital garden, an old man and a young man sit in front of the coffee table!
This pavilion is located in the very center of the garden, surrounded by a man-made ditch with lots of goldfish swimming and duckweed floating on it!
At this time, Jin Lao sat at the top of Shiji, Zhang Ying sat at the bottom, the two of them did not speak, there was a set of tea sets and two teacups on Shiji, and the teacups were already full of wisps of steam!
"Young man, can you make tea?"
Jin Lao looked at Zhang Ying and suddenly asked!
"Yes, did the younger generation learn it by chance when he was working and studying?"
Zhang Ying replied!
"Oh?"
"How about a shot at the old man?"
Jin Lao said!
"Ugly, old man?"
Zhang Ying didn't have any extra nonsense, and started to get busy after speaking!
I saw Zhang Ying start to rinse the teapot with hot water, including the spout and lid, and at the same time rinse the teacup, and then drain the teapot and teacup!
As he did it, he explained:
"The purpose of the first warmer is to increase the temperature of the tea set, so that the temperature of the tea is relatively stable after brewing, and the temperature does not drop too quickly, which is particularly important for the brewing of coarser old tea."
After speaking, Zhang Ying began to press the size of the teapot or teacup, put a certain amount of tea leaves into the teapot, and after placing the tea leaves, he took a look at the shape and color of the tea leaves in the pot!
And said:
"Secondly, make tea: choose a purple clay pot to make tea, you can maximize the aroma of tea and the processing requirements of water"
After finishing speaking, after putting the tea into the pot, according to the ratio of tea and water, the boiling water is flushed into the pot, and when the water is flushed, because it is oolong tea, Zhang Ying also flushes the water out of the spout and spout, and the flush is eight points full!
Then he explained:
"Brewing tea, the reason why it is full of eight points is because it is oolong tea, the purple clay pot used, if you use a glass cup or a white porcelain cup to brew, you can pay special attention to the delicate tea leaves that you appreciate, and the flush is also full of seven or eight points!"
When flushing, there is a "phoenix three nods" to pay attention to, that is, the kettle is tilted down and lifted up three times, which is not only the host nodding to the guests, but also can make the tea and tea turn up and down, so that the tea concentration is consistent. ”
After that, we started pouring tea!
Zhang Ying poured the brewed tea into the sea of tea first, and then poured it from the sea of tea into Jin Lao's teacup!
Said:
"The sea of tea is also known as the fair cup, which means fair tea!"
As he spoke, he held it on a tea tray and gave it to Jin Lao, placed it in front of Jin Lao's right hand, and when serving tea, he also used his spare hand to make a gesture of inviting tea!
Said:
"The old boy Jin has served tea!"
Jin Lao took Zhang Ying's tea, took a sip, closed his eyes and began to savor the aroma of tea!
Zhang Ying looked at it and smiled and said:
"Tea tasting is not in a hurry to drink after the tea is brewed, but should first look at the color and shape, then hold the cup and smell the fragrance, and then sip the soup to appreciate the taste, when appreciating, the tea soup should flow from the tip of the tongue along the sides of the tongue to the root of the tongue, and then back to the tongue, and so on two or three times, in order to leave the sweet aftertaste of the tea soup"
"Did the old boy Jin say something wrong?"
After taking a sip of tea, Jin Lao put down the teacup and looked at Zhang Ying and said:
"The children can be taught, and they will become great weapons in the future!"
"Jin Lao praised it, I'm just an ordinary person?"
Zhang Ying said!
"Young man, since you know the tea ceremony, do you know where it came from?"
Jin Lao asked!
"Know a little bit about it!"
Zhang Yingdao!
"Oh?"
"How about telling the old man?"
Jin Lao Dao!
"Then the boy is showing off?"
After speaking, Zhang Ying stood up, bowed, sat back on the stone bench and began to say:
"Drinking tea, pay attention to a "product" word, where the guests come, make tea, tea etiquette is essential, when there are guests to visit, you can ask for opinions, choose the most suitable for the taste of the guests and the best tea set to entertain guests!"
When the guest is greeted with tea, it is also necessary to properly blend the tea, the host should pay attention to the residual amount of tea in the guest cup and pot when accompanying the guests to drink tea, and generally make tea with a teacup, if half of it has been drunk, it is necessary to add boiling water, and add it with drinking, so that the concentration of tea is basically consistent, and the water temperature is appropriate. ”
"When drinking tea, it can also be appropriately accompanied by tea, candy, dishes, etc., to achieve the effect of adjusting the taste and snacks. ”
"Tea culture is very important in Chinese life. In the later period of the original commune, tea became an item of exchange for goods, and in the Warring States period, tea had a certain scale!"
"The pre-Qin "Book of Songs" collection has a record of tea, and such as in the Han Dynasty, tea has become a special tonic for Buddhism "zazen", the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there has been a style of drinking tea, Sui Dynasty, the whole people generally drink tea. ”
In the Tang Dynasty, the tea industry was prosperous, and tea became "a day without tea", and teahouses, tea banquets, and tea parties appeared, advocating guests to come to serve tea. In the Song Dynasty, it was popular to fight tea, tribute tea and give tea and so on. ”
"When did Huaxia start drinking tea, everyone said differently, but in general, it can be said that it began in the Han Dynasty, and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty drank tea before, Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" volume "Six Tea Drinks" is all about it!"
It is said: "Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's, smelling in Lu Zhougong, Qi has Yan Ying, Han has Yangxiong, Sima Xiangru, Wu has Wei Yao, Jin has Liu Kun, Zhang Zai, Yuanzuna, Xie An, Zuo Si's disciples, all drink. ”
"But most of them are not historical facts, even if they are historical facts, they are not represented, and it is not easy to understand, "The Book of Tea" cloud: Shennong's "Book of Food" "Tea and tea for a long time, powerful and joyful "Tea History", Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" thinks that drinking tea started from Shennong's, but "The Book of Food" is a fake book, which is well known to everyone and is not enough evidence!"
"Erya" has the sentence of "bitter", the world takes "Erya" as the work of Zhou Gongshi, and mistakenly thinks that tea drinking began in Zhou Gong, but I don't know that "Erya" is not made in Zhou Gong, which is not enough evidence for the beginning of tea drinking. ”
"Until the roots unearthed at the Tianluoshan site in Yuyao, it was preliminarily judged to be tea plants, and the history of China's earliest tea planting was rewritten; The pronunciation of the word tea originates from the Banan people, and Bayu is the birthplace of tea culture!"
"In many parts of the world, the habit of drinking tea was passed from China, so many people think that tea drinking was pioneered by China, and the habit of drinking tea and planting tea in other parts of the world was directly or indirectly passed from China. ”
"Because of the Shennong period: Tang Lu Yu's "Book of Tea": "Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's," in the history of China's cultural development, it is often the origin of everything related to agriculture and plants that is ultimately attributed to Shennong's, and after returning here, it can no longer be pushed up, and it is precisely because of this that Shennong has become the god of agriculture!"
"Western Zhou Dynasty: Jin Changxuan's "Huayang Guozhi • Ba Zhi": "King Wu of Zhou cut down the Zhou, the master of Bashu, and the tea and honey are all tribute!" This record shows that when the Wu King of the Zhou Dynasty was defeated, Ba Guo had already paid tribute to King Wu of Zhou with tea and other precious products, and it was also recorded in the "Huayang National Chronicles" that there were already artificially cultivated tea gardens at that time!"
