The Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history, can be said to have no country in the world at that time was so powerful. The area around the Central Plains was either annexed by the Tang or submitted to the Tang. But before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty seemed to appear only in the history books, leaving no historical relics. Until the archaeology discovered Tang Sancai, the treasure of He Jia Village was discovered, and the underground palace of Famen Temple was excavated. A batch of precious cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty have been unearthed, which are basically gold and silver vessels symbolizing the magnates, and now when the world sees these cultural relics again, they will feel the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Famen Temple has been valued by successive generations because it enshrines the relics of Shakyamuni, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which was known as a royal temple. During the Cultural Revolution, when the Red Guards wanted to dig the ground to open the tower, Master Liangqing set himself on fire and used his life to protect the treasure under the tower. However, soon after, in August 1976, a major earthquake struck Songpan, Sichuan, which affected Fufeng, and famen Temple was severely tilted due to disrepair, because no one dared to repair it and slowly collapsed.
It was not until 1987 that the local government decided to rebuild the Famen Temple Underground Palace and revitalize Buddhism. But at this time, Famen Temple seems to have become a site of the Tang Dynasty, and during the restoration process, experts discovered that there was a underground palace under the Famen Temple. After archaeological excavations, archaeologists have unearthed a large number of rare cultural relics at the site of the Tang Dynasty Underground Palace, which are all royal cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty period, and more than a thousand pieces of national treasure-level cultural relics have been unearthed.
However, the world only knows the 4 relics unearthed, as well as the bronze floating tu, the eight treasure letters, the silver flower double wheel twelve ring tin staff and other unique national treasures. And ignored a cultural relic against the sky, this cultural relic is "plain yellow glass tea cup and tea saucer". The reason why this cultural relic is against the sky is because the material of the cultural relics is made of glass that is close to transparent, and the so-called glass is modern glass. This anti-heaven relic unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple was used for tea in the Tang Dynasty.
When it comes to drinking tea, I have to say that the most authentic tea ceremony handed down by Chinese culture at present is the Japanese tea ceremony. The Japanese tea ceremony not only requires an elegant and natural environment, but also stipulates a set of procedures for boiling, brewing and tasting tea. The Japanese tea ceremony seems very cumbersome, but the Japanese believe that it is a means of self-cultivation and cultural literacy.
It is generally believed that the Japanese tea ceremony originated in China's Tang Dynasty. But the Japanese do not think so, they think that this tea ceremony is their own invention, until the Chinese archaeology of this Famen Temple underground palace site, unearthed this anti-heaven cultural relics "plain yellow glass tea cup and tea saucer" and other tea sets, at this time the world will find that the unearthed tea sets and today's Japanese tea ceremony utensils are almost exactly the same. That is to say, the Japanese tea ceremony originated in the Tang Dynasty of China. After the Japanese learned the truth that the tea ceremony originated in China, they believed that "this is a great shame and great humiliation", and what the nation insisted on actually came from China. But many Japanese people also said that "although this is a great shame, it also proves that Japan has absorbed the culture of ancient China and believes that they are the people who have preserved Chinese culture to this day."
