Chapter 332: Tea Immortal
"Drunkard, you're not going to make a fuss about this, are you?"
"They're used to being arrogant, but now that they finally have the opportunity to watch jokes, why should I bother myself?"
The wine fairy didn't look back at the fog lost platform, and his heart was not on the person who came.
Lu Yuanjiu didn't care about this, but sat down beside the wine fairy and said, "The words are good, but it's a matter of the Three Realms, completely ignore it, don't ask or ignore, even if it's you, I can't do it, right?"
"I said Lu Yuan Jiulu Jingling, don't think that someone calls you 'Jinglingzi', you really think that you are an immortal with hands and eyes to the sky, you and I are similar in Taoism and behavior, except for standing by and not dying, what else can you do?"
"It seems that our wine fairy is in a hurry, in fact, you don't have to pretend not to care, as a tea leaf, I am more anxious than you. ”
The wine man stopped the wine gourd and said sarcastically unhappily: "Self-inflicted!"
Jinglingzi is a fairy who loves tea, and he has a fight with the wine fairy obsessive wine.
Huaxia is the hometown of tea, and the people drink tea, which is said to have begun in the Shennong era, until now, there is still the custom of people in various places to use tea as a gift.
Tea culture is the culture of making and drinking tea in China.
As one of the seven things to open the door (firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea), drinking tea is very common in China.
The tea culture of China is very different from the tea culture of foreign countries, it has a long history, broad and profound, and contains not only the material culture level, but also the profound spiritual civilization level.
The spirit of tea has penetrated into the court and society, and has penetrated into China's art, religion and medicine, and the Chinese people have not only accumulated a large number of material culture about tea planting and production, but also accumulated a wealth of spiritual culture about tea, which is the unique tea culture of China, which belongs to the category of cultural studies.
Planting and drinking tea is not the same as having a tea culture, it is only a prerequisite for the formation of tea culture, and it must also have the participation of literati and the connotation of culture.
The experience of tea production and drinking in ancient times, as well as the spirit of pursuing the tea ceremony of prudence and frugality, are inseparable from the trend of tea drinking.
The Chinese people attach great importance to the spiritual enjoyment and moral norms of tea, pay attention to tea drinking utensils, tea drinking water and the art of boiling tea, and blend with the Taoist philosophical thoughts, and gradually make people enter their spiritual realm.
In the process of drinking tea by some people, they also created a lot of tea poems, thus laying the foundation of tea culture. Tea shines for the Chinese tea altar.
The preparation of tea in Huaxia is diverse: there are phoenix single bush tea, smoked bean tea, fragrant tea, ginger salt tea, gaiwan tea, frozen top tea, Longjing tea, oolong tea, etc., the main varieties are green tea, black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea, black tea.
People drink tea and pay attention to the word "quality".
"Tea tasting" is not only to identify the advantages and disadvantages of tea, but also to carry the meaning of reverie and appreciation of tea drinking.
Brewing a pot of strong tea in the midst of your busy schedule, choosing an elegant and quiet place, and pouring yourself a drink, you can eliminate fatigue, cleanse your troubles, and invigorate your spirits, or you can sip slowly to achieve the enjoyment of beauty, and sublimate the spiritual world to a noble artistic realm.
The environment for tea tasting is generally composed of buildings, gardens, furnishings, tea sets and other factors.
Drinking tea requires quiet, fresh, comfortable and clean.
The Chinese gardens are world-famous, and the landscapes are innumerable.
The use of gardens or natural landscapes, the use of wood to make pavilions, stools, and tea rooms give people a kind of poetic and picturesque feeling, for people to rest, can not help but be full of interest.
China is an ancient civilization, a country of etiquette, and attaches great importance to etiquette.
Whenever a guest comes, the etiquette of making tea and serving tea is indispensable.
When a guest visits, you can ask for opinions and choose the best tea set that suits the taste of the guest and the best tea set to entertain the guest.
When serving tea, it is also necessary to mix the tea leaves appropriately. When the host accompanies the guests to drink tea, they should pay attention to the residual amount of tea in the guest cup and pot, generally use the teacup to make tea, if half of the tea 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.
The content of tea culture is mainly the embodiment of tea in the Chinese spiritual culture, which is much deeper and broader than the scope of "tea customs" and "tea ceremony", and it is also the reason why tea culture is very different from exotic tea culture.
Huaxia is the hometown of tea, is the world's earliest discovery of tea trees, the use of tea and the cultivation of tea trees in the country, Huaxia is also the world's tea ceremony suzerain, any country influenced by Chinese tea culture can not deny that Huaxia is the status of the tea ceremony suzerain, otherwise it violates the basic civilization of the tea ceremony.
The origin of the tea plant is at least sixty or seventy thousand years old.
Tea has been discovered and utilized by humans for thousands of years.
The use of tea was originally conceived in the practice of wild gathering.
In ancient history and legends, it is believed that "Shennong is a delicate jade body, and his lungs, liver, and five internal organs can be seen", the reason is, "If it is not a delicate jade body, how can it be solved if it is not a delicate jade body, and you will encounter twelve poisons in one day after tasting medicine?"
It is also said that "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, encounters twelve poisons every day, and gets the solution." ”
Although neither of these theories can be fully believed, a faint message is worth noting: in the process of eating "tea" for a long time, people pay more and more attention to its "medicinal" properties for some healing diseases, which reflects a kind of rumor in the era of famine.
In the early part of history, "Tu" was used to refer to all kinds of bitter wild plant food raw materials, and it was only after the discovery of other values of tea that it had an independent name "tea".
In the historical era of the integration of food and medicine, it is not difficult for people to discover the medicinal functions of tea vegetable oil such as quenching thirst, clearing the mind, eliminating food, removing miasma, and facilitating convenience.
However, to develop from general medicinal use to habitual special beverages, there must also be some special factor, that is, a specific need in people's actual life.
The Great Basin area is a place of "smoke miasma" where diseases are frequent, "the people of Fanmin make a living from tea, and they will get sick if they lack it." ”
Therefore, the people often eat spicy food, accumulated for thousands of years, and it is still today.
It is this kind of regional natural conditions and the dietary customs of the people determined by it that make the people first take "sencha" to remove miasma and detoxify fever. After a long period of use, the medicinal purpose gradually disappeared, and tea became a daily drink.
Tea was transformed from medicinal to habitual drinks, and the strict meaning of "tea" was produced, so there are "trees as small as gardenias, winter leaves, can be boiled as soup and drink."
Today, the early picker is tea, and the late one is tea, a thorn, and the bitter name of the people. "That's it.
"Tea" was separated from "Tu" and embarked on the path of "independent" development.
However, the emergence of the word "tea" was accompanied by the development of tea and the increasing frequency of commercial activities, until later, it was also in line with the law of the change of words after the emergence of new symbols and people's social life.
Tea culture is divided into two aspects: the natural science of tea and the humanities of tea, which refers to the sum of the material wealth and spiritual wealth related to tea created in the historical practice of human society.
In a narrow sense, the humanities that focus on tea mainly refer to the spiritual and social functions of tea.
Because the natural science of tea has formed an independent system, the tea culture that is often talked about focuses on the humanities.
Many ancient Janes set the time of discovery of tea as the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and there are doctors who say: "Bitter tea is eaten for a long time, and it is beneficial to meaning", which records the medical value of tea.
With the rise of people drinking tea, articles and songs about tea have come out day by day, and tea has entered the cultural circle out of the general form of diet, playing a certain spiritual and social role, and there is also a move to replace wine with tea.
People drink tea not only to refresh their minds and quench their thirst, but it has begun to have a social function, becoming a means of entertaining guests, offering sacrifices, and expressing a spirit and sentiment.
Tea drinking is no longer entirely for people for its natural use value, but has entered the spiritual realm.
In order to get temporary satisfaction, the wealthy people lingered among the green mountains and beautiful rivers all day long, and the trend of drinking tea continued to develop, so that many tea houses appeared.
People talk a lot about the excitement of drinking, but if you drink too much, you will behave badly, talk gibberish, and be unsightly.
Tea, on the other hand, can be drunk for a long time and always be sober, which makes people think clearly and have a peaceful mind.
Moreover, for the general public, dealing with alcohol and meat all day long, the economic conditions do not allow.
As a result, many people switched from good wine to good tea. In them, tea drinking has been treated as a spiritual phenomenon.
In the view of Daomen, tea is a good way to help refine the "inner dan", raise the clear and reduce turbidity, lighten the body and change bones, and cultivate the body of immortality, and it is also a necessary thing for meditation.
Although a complete religious tea drinking ritual has not yet been formed and the ideological principles of tea have not yet been clarified, tea has been separated from the physical form of food and has significant social and cultural functions.
