In the fast-paced life of modern people, tea tasting seems to be forgotten by people. Here we will talk about drinking tea and tea fun.
The ancients had a special love for tea and were very particular about tea tasting. Or in front of the bamboo shadow window to look at the clouds cirrus clouds, or sit under the tree to play chess games, or hold fragrant tea in hand and listen to the babbling water, this mood is quite beautiful.
Drinking tea in addition to quenching thirst is also very interesting. For example, one day, a person quietly chooses a favorite book, sits on a chair, brews a cup of fragrant tea, reads a book, drinks tea at the same time, and lets the heart swim in the sea of books; or sits with a close friend, holds a tea cup in his hand, talks about heaven and earth, talks about the ancient way, nags homely, has both taste and is very comfortable. It can be said that this is a very leisurely life.
The old father loved to drink tea all his life. There is fire tea in spring, summer tea, warm stomach tea in autumn, cold tea in winter, and tea all year round. In his spare time, he sat down at home with his friends, brewed a pot of "Tieguanyin" or "Maojian" or "Oolong" or "Pu'er", and drank slowly. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, together in the tea aroma of casually poured out; the wind and rain talk about laughter, everything sinks in the thickness of tea. That kind of comfort reveals the truth, goodness and beauty created by tea culture.
The ancients said: "When you taste tea, one person gets God, two people get fun, and three people get taste." In particular, drinking tea, tasting poetry papers, and listening to music can also enter the artistic conception of "Spring River Flower Moon Night" or "Rain Hit Basho". In the process of drinking tea, many insights will also be obtained from the light tea water. Quietly watching the tea leaves slowly stretch in the water can't help but remind people of "the spring wind takes the flowers, and rewards me with the yin." "Therefore, whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer, as long as a cup of hot tea, there is a lot of vitality." You will briskly cross the ups and downs of life with a plain heart, and calmly face many unsatisfactory things in life.
Of course, the taste of drinking tea is not for everyone, especially nowadays, few people have a good time after work, three or five friends, or quietly brew a pot of tea alone, and slowly taste it. And I like to write over tea, listen to the radio, watch TV. Among them, inspiration will come unexpectedly. Thoughts spread in the aroma of tea, and someone once said to me, "Your life is too monotonous, too boring." At this point, I just smiled. After all, everyone has a different attitude towards life and a different understanding of life.
Tea is a national drink, originated from Shennong, smelled in Lu Zhougong, flourished in Tang, flourished in Song, and spread throughout China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tea has become a culture, and it is recorded in the annals of history and passed on to future generations, which is inseparable from the literati and inkers of previous generations.
Since ancient poets many tea guests. The Tang Dynasty poet Yao He once begged for tea with poetry: "Don't buy money to beg for poetry, borrow the mountain to ask if there is geometry?" Dongpo residents refer to tea as a beautiful woman, and chant the ancient song of "never good tea like a beautiful person". The Yuan Dynasty poet Liu Bingzhong even wrote a saying that the true meaning of the poet's love for tea is broken: "Iron wrinkled belt old frost, with English chewing beauty into the poetry intestine."
The tea union is even more wonderful, it is often hung in the tea room, tea shop or tea house, focusing on promoting the efficacy of tea to attract customers. "Songtao cooking snow wakes up poetry dreams, bamboo courtyard floating smoke and dust", "good news, a pot of spring warmth." ”
Tea riddles are also the connotation and extension of Chinese tea culture, such as: "Born in the mountains, the same color, soaked in water, green and red" and so on. There is also tea dishes, which do not refer to the refreshments, tea foods, tea dishes, etc. eaten when drinking tea, but refer to the dishes made with tea leaves. For example, Guangdong's "Tea Fragrant Chicken (with Oolong Tea)"; Zhejiang's "Longjing Fish Fillet"; Nanjing's "Fragrant Fried Cloud"; Anhui's "Tea Smoked Chicken"; Jiangxi's "Cloudy Chicken"; Hebei's "Tea Roast pork"; Hong Kong's "Wuyi Tea Imperial Pigeon" and so on, these are all famous dishes of famous shops.
About tea, there are also tea books, tea orders, tea paintings and so on.
Nowadays, with the development of the market economy, the number of people doing business on tea is increasing, and many places that operate tea have sprung up after the rain, including tea houses, tea houses, tea houses, tea houses and so on. I think that modern people armed with technological civilization, in addition to Coca-Cola, Sprite and other various drinks as a delicacy, the reason for drinking tea is nothing more than to jump out of the noisy world of flowers and flowers, to promote knee-length talk with friends, taste tea fun, or drink alone, so that the mood flows freely. The so-called meritorious heart, Li Lu desire, will surely disappear in a cup of fragrant tea, and in its place is to carefully appreciate the most essential life essence of those teas.
Tea is also very exquisite, do not need to boil water. The first cup of tea is poured out, and then re-brewed, the unwelled tea leaves are floating on it, and when drinking, it is always necessary to blow open the tea leaves floating on the surface at one time at a time, not only troublesome, but also this tea is not mellow enough because the taste does not enter the water, only when they are sunk at the bottom of the cup, can it become a cup of tea.
Being a person is like making tea, if you want to do things well, don't rush to express yourself, so as not to be like frivolous tea leaves, which will only be annoying. Life is like tea, bitter like life, light as a breeze. The days are getting busier and the pace of life is getting faster and faster. It is a spiritual pleasure to sit down, drink a cup of tea quietly, listen to a piece of music, and read a text full of positive energy. Drinking tea does not necessarily pay attention to the form, the important thing is in the heart, drinking plain tea with the heart, you can drink cheering, drink calm, drink out of the heartfelt words.
One must go through the ups and downs to be calm. Qing life is a cup of tea, and Ren Qingxiang washes away the floating dust. In the tea to get a sense of indifference, a sense of tranquility, is not beautiful and fast.
