Yes, this time I stayed up late again, the drama I chased was the explosive "Dream Hualu", and I had not seen such a sincere costume drama for a long time.
Part of the story framework of this drama is based on Guan Hanqing's meta-miscellaneous drama "Zhao Pan'er Wind and Moon Rescue Wind and Dust", adapted and said, adding a lot of original Chinese elements, quite historical and cultural connotations, telling a story of "the three women of the Northern Song Dynasty chasing dreams of Tokyo", in recent years, the popular female urban inspiration has become a costume inspiration, plus Liu Yifei, Chen Xiao, Liu Yan, etc. to have a good look, to act as an actor with acting skills, so that this drama has not decreased since its launch, the screen hot search, the data continues to soar, It shows that there is something really outstanding.
Zhi Wei saw that the various details presented in "Dream Hualu" and the high degree of restoration of scenes, costumes and props and other items were enough to show that the screenwriters and directors had done a lot of homework on the history and customs of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as; Call the emperor "Official"; The common people did not kneel in court; Playing the pipa horizontally, even the tea table table with a variety of flower arrangements is also one of the folk customs of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Luoyang Peony Record" contains "in the spring, there are no nobles in the city are flower arrangements"; But what impressed me the most was the "Tea Hundred Plays" played by Zhao Pan'er, played by Liu Yifei.
What is Tea Play?
See the scene of the tea hundred plays in the play, if you don't tell you that this is a kind of song dynasty tea drinking way, you will completely mistakenly think that it is "Song Dynasty coffee pulling flowers", the delicate foam on a variety of feminine patterns presented, the beauty is not like words, the tea bowl of the tea hundred plays is brought to the table, the elegant and artistic atmosphere is pervasive, so what is this kind of tea hundred plays full of romance?
Tea hundred plays actually began in the Tang Dynasty, "Shihao" Liu Yuxi once described it like this: "The sudden rain and pine sound into the ding, and the white clouds wander with bowls of flowers." In the Song Dynasty, the tea hundred opera was respected by the Song Huizong and the court ministers, and the elegant people, and the tea hundred opera was loved to the extreme in the Song Dynasty.
Song Dynasty tea drinking and the current way of brewing tea is different, the mainstream way of drinking tea in the Song Dynasty is "point tea", point tea is to grind the tea leaves, grind fine, sift out the fine powder, and then put the tea powder into the boiling cup, and then add the right amount of water to adjust into a paste, quickly use the tea spoon to blow the tea soup to form a stable tea soup suspension, play a uniform and delicate foam, which is an ornamental, skilled thing, so people will take "tea order" as a talent.
"Dream Hualu" said in the tea fighting, Zhao Pan'er caused the onlookers of the tea hundred drama, in fact, is the tea competition, at that time, whether it is a dignitary official, or the people of Li Min, for the tea drinking, can be more fanatical than the current people for coffee research, at the same time, China's tea culture, but also affected the surrounding countries, until today, the Japanese tea people are still following the Song Dynasty's method of drinking, the entire process of preparing tea is called "tea", many people will also call it "matcha", but Japan's tea foam is mostly bright green, Trying to preserve the natural beauty of the tea itself, the tea artists of the Song Dynasty in China advocated "tea color is noble and white, suitable for black cup", or different.
And the tea hundred plays, is from the point of tea evolution, tea hundred plays also known as water Danqing, tea, song Dynasty Tao Gu "Jing Ming Record" recorded: "In recent times, there are soup luck daggers, do not use magic tricks, so that the soup pattern water veins into objects, animals, insects, fish and flowers, delicate and picturesque, but whiskers will be scattered", this is the art of clear water painting on the tea soup, only need to inject soup and tea spoon stirring and other methods can make the surface of the tea soup conjure up various patterns, the appearance is just like the milk bubble pulling flowers made by modern people in coffee, if there are crossers to see this drink, I really thought that the Song Dynasty had coffee pulling.
Because the tea hundred opera has an inexplicable elegance, it is highly respected by the emperor and a large number of literati at that time, leaving many tea points, tea poetry and songs, such as Lu You, Li Qingzhao and so on at that time were keen on this. Lu You recorded in "Lin'an Spring Rain First Day": "Low paper is slanted and idle grass, and the fine milk in the clear window plays tea." Li Qingzhao said in "Man Ting Fang": "Raw incense smoke sleeves, live fire to divide tea." However, the technical requirements of tea hundred plays are very high, there are fewer people to master, coupled with the change of dynasties, etc., almost lost after the Qing Dynasty, and fewer and fewer people know about it, which is very regrettable.
The resurrection of tea plays
But this hit "Dream Hualu" let us see the resurrection of this traditional skill, once again pushed the Song Dynasty tea culture to the front of the curtain, in the "Great Chinese Tea • Dialogue Masters" series created by the famous domestic tea company Bama Tea Industry, we once again learned in detail about the amazing beauty of tea plays, and those who are interested in traditional tea culture can watch it by themselves.
The protagonist of the column, Zhang Zhifeng, is the representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage tea hundred plays in Fujian Province, after more than 20 years of scientific practice, in 2009, the cream tea was used as raw materials, the tea soup was magically conjured up with water, and the tea hundred plays were rescued, and the tea hundred plays were selected as the intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province in 2017, and this year, the tea hundred plays were invited to order tea and tea hundred plays professional guidance, so that the tea hundred plays were completely on fire, becoming a rare cultural resource in the mainland, opening a window for us to understand the culture of the Song Dynasty. Added some spice and elegance to life.
——Lao Jing said——
The "Tokyo Dream Record" once recorded the grand scene of the Tokyo Tea House: "In addition to the East and West Sects Outside the Suzaku Gate, the remaining residents or tea houses, the street heart of the city, especially at night." "The times are ups and downs, the fate is flowing, thousands of years have passed, everything is changing, but for Chinese culture, its inner spiritual and cultural core cannot change, the protection of intangible cultural heritage is to protect this spiritual core, for tea hundred plays, which were quite unfamiliar words before this year, the "Dream Hualu" crew did a good job, and the Eight Horse Tea Industry also did a great job, contributing to the recovery and inheritance of our national culture, thank them.
