The difference between tea and coffee.

Tea Hundred Plays are all kinds of patterns made of tea and water, which are generally traditional calligraphy and painting. It is an elegant cultural activity and is highly praised by ancient China literati. Many people think that tea and coffee are the same, but they are not. Although very similar, but there will be some differences, such as production principle, pattern preservation time, pattern style and so on.

The difference between tea play and coffee play First of all, the principles of tea play and coffee play are different. Tea play forms various patterns through tea and water, while coffee flower painting is the fusion of two different liquids, coffee and milk, which eventually forms various patterns, which are essentially different.

Secondly, the existence time of tea and coffee is also very different. As we all know, bubbles can only exist for a short time. In other words, the pattern of tea drama is only formed by tea soup. After a period of time, the patterns on the tea soup will naturally disappear. The pattern formed by coffee flowers is fixed and will not disappear easily.

Finally, tea and coffee form different images. Scholars in Song Dynasty attached great importance to intention. In tea operas, most of the patterns depicted are traditional calligraphy and painting in China. Words, mountains, rivers, birds and beasts emerge one after another, highlighting the beauty of artistic conception.

However, in modern society, this is very different. The patterns formed by coffee flowers are mostly simple, even if they are complex, they are mostly symmetrical and balanced patterns. Coffee flowers pay attention to fixed shapes.

In a word, tea play and coffee play just look similar. They may only have one thing in common, that is, they can display patterns. But in fact, there are great differences in their historical background and formation principle, which can also reflect the cultural differences between Chinese and western countries in a deep level.

The hundred plays in tea are similar to the statues in coffee, but they are different, and there will be some differences.

There are two ways to draw coffee, one is a common drawing method, and the other is a rich sculpture. Drawing flowers is to draw patterns in espresso with foamed milk, while carving is to "carve" the desired patterns on the surface of brewed coffee with colored edible syrup and toothpicks.

Tea hundred plays were invented on the basis of ordering tea, but for a long time, due to the simple records in ancient books, we can't understand the principle of the formation mode of tea hundred plays.

20 1 1 year, after a long period of research by experts and scholars, the principle of "tea hundred plays" was announced to the public:

Only when the tea soup forms a stable suspension can the illusion form the basis of the pattern. The basic method of forming patterns is to directly pour soup into a tea bottle or stir it with a tea spoon.

The "magic" pattern of tea soup is the unique "gene" of this precious intangible cultural heritage.

Different from ordinary paintings, such as oil paintings, traditional Chinese paintings, gouache paintings and even coffee paintings, patterns are presented by overlapping colors or different materials. Tea Hundred Plays can express characters and images in tea soup only with tea and water.

Where is the Tea Hundred Opera from in Fujian?

Tea hundred plays, a technique of changing the pattern of tea soup with clear water, is a kind of ground cream tea as raw material, also known as tea separation and water painting, which originated in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty reached its peak and became a cultural activity admired by scholars.

Since then, this ancient technique of painting with clear water has almost been forgotten by the world. In 20 17, the Tea Hundred Opera was listed as the intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province and was known by more people.
