What do you want to say about the etiquette culture of tea ceremony?

Regarding the etiquette culture of tea, you can refer to A Dream of Red Mansions. Because there are many descriptions of tea in A Dream of Red Mansions, the paper is full of tea fragrance.

Drinking tea runs through the book A Dream of Red Mansions, so the etiquette, culture and rules of drinking tea also permeate between the lines. In summary, there are the following points.

First, the posture of drinking tea When drinking a bowl of tea, sit up straight, don't stretch your head and mouth forward, and don't bow your head. You can't take off the lid on it, and you can't blow the tea floating on it with your mouth. Instead, you can pick up the tea bowl tray with your left hand, grab the lid with your right hand, and gently "scrape" it a few times to decant the floating tea leaves and other things. Make the tea cover tilted, put it to your mouth, and then suck the tea soup in. There can be no sound. You can't pick up a small teacup and swallow it one after another, and you can't gasp at the teacup, suck it, and drink it slowly in small sips. One bitterness, two sweetness and three aftertaste, its fun lies in self-evident.

Covering a bowl is also called a three-talent bowl, which is a metaphor for heaven, people and earth. Therefore, the right time, the right place and the right people, of course, must all be in your hands.

There is a scene of drinking tea in the 87th TV series A Dream of Red Mansions. The posture of drinking tea during the Spring Festival is like a textbook. She picked up the tea bowl tray with her left hand, grabbed the lid with her right hand, "scraped" it a few times, and took the lid to skim the tea floating on it. Slow and leisurely, it looks elegant.

When Daiyu drinks tea, she doesn't have to skim the tea with the lid, but only eats tea with the lid facing the bowl. Why did Daiyu omit this link?

This is another etiquette to cover a bowl: skimming the tea leaves when you are a guest is a sign that the host's tea is not good. When Dai Yu first entered Guo Rong Building, she was a guest, so she kept this action.

Second, the measures to pour tea. There is a saying in the northeast that "the wine should be full and the tea should be shallow". When pouring wine for a guest, fill the glass, and when pouring tea, pour it shallowly, not completely. Shallow and full are relative, and this shallow also has a certain degree of discretion. "It's only seven minutes full to pour tea, and it's human to leave three points." This kind of "seven-point full" light tea shows respect for each other.

3. How much do you want to drink for tea? Miaoyu explained the amount of tea best. She took out a sea teacup and asked Baoyu if he could eat it. Baoyu said, "I can eat."

Miaoyu said with a smile, "Although you can eat it, it won't be spoiled by these teas. Didn't you hear that' one cup is delicious, two cups are stupid things to quench your thirst, and three cups are drinks for cattle and mules'? What will you become if you eat this sea? "

Nobles can only drink a cup of tea, but can't gobble it up.

If you drink tea in a big bowl, you will be laughed at. Grandma Liu swallowed half a cup of tea given to her by Grandma Jia in one gulp, and everyone laughed.

Fourth, the order of drinking tea. Jia's first cup of tea after dinner in a dream of red mansions is mouthwash tea, which can't be drunk. The second cup of tea is for drinking. If you drink the first cup of tea, you will be laughed at.

When there are guests at home, the host will not persuade tea. When serving tea to the guests, put the cups on the tray. When Miao Yu presented tea to Jia Mu, "Miao Yu personally held a small tea tray filled with begonia-style carved lacquer to celebrate Un-yong Kim's birthday, and put a colorful cover Jason Chung in it to celebrate Jia Mu's birthday." When xiren offered tea to Daiyu, she "held a small chain-shaped foreign lacquer tea tray with two cups of new tea in it". When offering tea to guests, be sure to use a tray.

In modern times, the host personally served tea to the guests, while in ancient times, the maid served tea to the guests. When offering tea, hold the tea in your right hand and serve it from the guest's right, smiling. Tea snacks should be placed on the right front of the guests, and cups should be placed on the right side of the snacks. ?

The guests took the tea with both hands and nodded their thanks. After drinking tea, they should properly praise the host's good tea.

Drinking is different from drinking tea. The host suggested that the guests drink as a sign of hospitality. If the host suggests drinking tea, it means that the host doesn't like the guests' farewell.

When the guests come, it is no problem for the guests to drink tea by themselves after pouring the tea. If the host takes a covered bowl and says "please have tea", it is a marching order, which is called "seeing guests off with tea".

The intransitive verb uses water to make tea. Water is the carrier of tea. When drinking tea, the generation of pleasure and the aftertaste of endless thoughts must be realized through water. Zhang Dafu's Notes on Plum Blossom Cottage in Ming Dynasty: Tea must come from water, and eight-point tea meets ten-point water, and tea is also very good; Eight servings of water, try ten servings of tea and eight servings of tea.

Lu Yu's drinking principles in Tea Classic are: above mountains and rivers, below rivers, below wells and above Ruquan stone ponds. The ancients also summed up the best combination of this kind of tea and water, such as "Longjing Tea, Tiger Flowing Water", "Water is in the heart of the Yangtze River, and tea is at the top of Mengshan Mountain".

Miaoyu drinks tea with rain and snow on plum blossoms. "Cold Lu Miscellaneous Knowledge" records that Emperor Qianlong "can pick good snow, which is called Sanqing, Meiying and making tea by Songshi. From the courtiers of the Chinese Palace and the Hanlin in the inner court, it can be seen that boiling tea with snow water is a more elegant thing in the eyes of literati. It is also the emphasis on drinking tea between big families and literati in the old society.

Besides making tea with snow water, the ancients also made tea with rain water. Autumn rain, the sky is crisp, there is almost no dust in the air, and the taste of water is "clear", which is the top grade of rain.

Tea, tea water, and springs, streams, rivers, lakes, wells. Only water that meets the five criteria of "source, liveness, sweetness, clearness and lightness" can be considered as good water.

Today, drinking tea is not just drinking tea, but tea ceremony and tea art, which is a kind of culture.
