This content comes from @ What is worth buying APP, the views only represent the author himself | author: Tutu rabbit too bald
In 2019, I wrote an article about the purchase of small green oranges, and at that time, there were many questions from friends on duty, and I answered with sincere trepidation. First, what I have learned is shallow, basically the level of buying ration tea, which cannot be said to be instructed; second, tea is also something that is easily metaphysical, and I am afraid to talk about it, so I will talk about it blindly.
Therefore, after painfully changing the previous wrong, I also actively learned tea culture at Station B. Here are my personal testimonials.
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > tea, the story of a leaf</h2>
Some people say that this is a documentary with too many stories and too shallow knowledge. But I think that since it is aimed at beginners, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that sometimes I can't stand the golden sentences inside, such as:
A leaf, falling into the water, changes the taste of the water, and there is tea.
I believe that tea is the result of human artificial selection, not the accident of leaves falling into the water.
The biggest inspiration for me in this documentary is the combing of relevant knowledge.
For example, the small species of Zhengshan actually originated from the turmoil in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a troop came from Tongmuguan in Jiangxi, and the people in the mountains had never seen the world, and the tea leaves were gone. Wait for the next day to see, the tea green can not be processed in time, has changed, is fermented. Very urgent, immediately put into the pot to fry, roasted after frying, roasted after the color of black, soaked up the soup red, not like the original green tea. I thought to myself this guy was broken. But always tea, always painstaking, sent to the star village. At that time, there were many merchants in southern Fujian in Xingcun, and they were entrusted to see how to sell. The minnan businessman came to our house and said that you checked me last year, and the original tea price doubled. This tea went out, sold better than green tea, and the taste was more adaptable to Europeans. "Today, eighty percent of the world's tea market belongs to black tea. After black tea spread to the West, it was called "black tea" in English.
The second is the view of the other.
Originally thought that since it is CCTV, naturally only said China's own tea, did not expect the choreographer to look at the world, tell about the tea and tea culture of different countries, the heart of tolerance is very valuable. Whether it is from China, or Japan, or the United Kingdom, India, etc., people are full of strong emotions for this leaf, tea carries our livelihood, culture, history, and people's pain and pride in life are condensed in this tea.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the tea road</h2>
The road to tea also comes from the production of CCTV. However, this time, three experiencers were selected from China, Russia and Mongolia to explore the ruins of the tea road, the form of the tea trade, and the stories and folklore related to tea from their participation and perspective, leading the audience to re-embark on this tea journey.
Originating in southern China, the "Tea Road" runs through eight provinces and regions of China, and runs through Mongolia to St. Petersburg in Russia, and is an important international trade route between China and Russia from the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century with tea trade as the main content. The formation of the "Tea Road" has not only promoted the economic development of China and Russia, but also enhanced mutual understanding and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
In the first episode of the introduction to history, the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, which we learned in the textbook, was no longer just a ceasefire between Russia and the Qing government at the time, but a choice between Peter II and Kangxi in Russia, who desperately needed trade to increase wealth, and China became his target.
And as the story unfolds, the Jiangxi people settled in WuyiShan's Zou clan, Jin Shang, Russia's Kyakhta are also implicated, you will find that the original history is so rich and so magical after reading it.
< h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > and Simon Reeve looking for tea</h2>
Simon. Reeve, a well-known British adventurer, documentary filmmaker and New York Times best-selling author, Simon has traveled to more than 120 countries and produced nearly twenty documentary series including Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Cancer. The documentary tells the story of his trip to East Africa in search of tea.
Why East Africa?
Simon said at the beginning that although India grows a lot of tea and China is the home of tea, the British tea basically comes from here.
As Simon's travels unfold, you will find that the so-called tea road is full of various social problems.
In Kenya's largest tea plantation, although it is home to Africans, the owner is Unilever.
Although Unilever claimed to pay its workers twice the basic wage, Simon was told that the workers were paid only to survive.
I remember that when "Blood Diamond" was promoted, it was said that no diamond from Africa did not contain blood, and those tea leaves were more or less the same.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > tea industry in China</h2>
It is rare that a local channel like Jiangsu Satellite TV will challenge such a documentary theme as tea, and it is also rare that young people now like tea and tea culture more and more.
However, I don't know if it is due to the insufficient funds given by the local station, although the documentary needs the support of sponsors is understandable, but half of it is advertised, and even the last episode is directly gold advertised, which is a bit excessive.
However, these imperfections cannot stop the people interviewed from recounting the true feelings of the land with tea and the days with tea, which is the essence of the documentary. Let more people know that a mouthful of tea soup is not easy to come by, and the Chinese tea civilization has a long history, passing down tea to the world and passing on tea to the family. In the face of this, all imperfections in production can be forgiven...
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > enjoy tea with Victoria</h2>
The first English slang I learned should be: It's my cup of tea .) English is very English, Chinese is also very Chinese. The British don't even think there's anything more English than a cup of tea.
The keynote speaker this time, Victoria Wood, is a British actor, director, screenwriter and producer, whose main works include "The Gentleman's Revelation Alliance", "Ballet Shoes", "Arietie the Little Man Who Borrows Things" and so on.
However, when others say that tea is british, she knows that tea is Chinese. Unfortunately, when she ran to Shanghai, the young people were in Starbucks. The funniest thing is that when you run to the restaurant to eat, the waiter introduces the allusion to this dish, which used to be the Royal Garden, Barabala.
Then Victoria Wood said to the camera, "She said the vegetable macaroni soup was sold out." EXO ME!
Seeing her taste tea eggs, I wondered, did the tea eggs that I couldn't afford to eat start to be misinformed from the tea leaves soaked in the Da Hong Pao?
Compared to Simon's encounters in East Africa, Victoria always uses cold humor to explain the lovely British people and tea feuds, which can make you laugh from time to time.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > emblem tea</h2>
Among The top ten famous teas in China, four from Anhui Real Estate account for them, Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Monkey Kui, Keemun Black Tea, and Liu'an Gua Slices. However, it should be noted that the English translation of this documentary becomes Anhui tea, and Huizhou and Anhui are actually different.
Hui Tea has a total of 2 episodes, the first episode is about Huangshan Maofeng and Liu'an Gua Tablets, and the second episode is about Taiping Monkey Kui and Keemun Black Tea. Compared with "Tea, the Story of a Leaf", this documentary is generally filmed, but if you want to know about the four famous teas in Anhui, you may wish to take a look. For example, Mao Feng of Huangshan Mountain talked about how Xie Zheng'an created this brand and how to develop re-drying and other processes.
Finally, the above may be repeated, for example, when talking about English tea, it is certainly impossible to avoid the "tea queen" Catherine.
But for those who like tea, it is also a good enjoyment to make a cup of tea and watch a documentary for a while in the summer evening.
