The author of this book, Xiao Xiao, has written about the beauty and profundity of Chinese tea culture over the past two years, telling the way of life of tea people with temperature, understanding and story. As an authentic Chaoshan person, I always feel that I can have more understanding and feeling on the topic of tea. When reading this book, I was thinking: tea is the same tea, the method of boiling tea, the mood of tea tasters, the environment are different, and the emotions and experiences generated are also very different, so what kind of medium is tea? In the book, the author describes the affection for this oriental leaf, about settling in the present and the arrival of the heart, about the infinite possibilities of life.
A bouquet of fragrance, a pot of refreshing; a bouquet of bright, a cup of elegance. Holding the hand to taste tea, the tea fragrance is gentle and lingering on the fingertips, hand in hand to enjoy the flowers, the floral fragrance is rich and full of heart. The so-called leisure life is nothing more than this. The two important keywords of this book, one is "tea", one is "slow", nineteen tea people in different scenes of tea humanities show their different moods and different temperaments, in the keyword of "tea" can be particularly highlighted; in the face of the current increasingly fast pace of life, "slow" is a very luxurious for many people, can understand life in "slow", more is expected by people. Tea is not tea, such as poetry, such as the deceased, such as life itself, it is a state of life that "people can always be quiet, the heavens and the earth are all returned", not hurried, natural and beautiful.
Chaoshan people have an innate feeling for tea, and interpret "after tea and dinner" every day to the fullest, except that rice is tea! Every family brews tea, old and young, this is a kind of inheritance that no longer needs meaning, and it is also an innate love. After drinking tea, like the tea people written by the author, they talk about life, pay attention to life, and judge right and wrong. Tea has single fir, Guanyin, people have respect, pity, drink bitter, sweet, and realize the state of life.
After reading the mental journey of 19 tea people, there is a feeling of "voyeurism". Slowly boil a cup of tea, laugh and talk about the vicissitudes of life, not thick and not light, not deep and not shallow, a plain and beautiful Qingxi is enough.
