Seeking Dahongpao's poetic explanation of tea art.

The word "Kung Fu Tea" originated from Guangdong and Fujian, and is famous for brewing oolong tea. Kung Fu tea art is the most popular and ethnic tea art in China. It pays attention to the choice of tea products, the exquisiteness of tea sets, and the calmness and fun of brewers. What it interprets is no longer simply talking about tea, but rising to a certain spiritual height, with "tea tasting" as a means to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and cultivating the body.

Wuyishan Kung Fu tea art is a wonderful flower among many tea arts, with strong cultural color and strong local characteristics. The following is the red robe kung fu tea art written by Mr. Lin Zhi, a tea culture expert.

[Tea set selection] A wooden tea tray, a pair of Yixing Zisha mother and son pots, several pairs of dragon and phoenix color-changing cups, a tea set, two tea towels, a kettle, an alcohol stove, an incense burner and a tea lotus.

[Explanation] Hello, ladies and gentlemen! First of all, welcome to enjoy the red robe kungfu tea.

Wuyishan with beautiful scenery is the hometown of oolong tea. Fan Zhongyan, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once wrote poems.

Zan Wuyi Rock Tea: "Every spring comes to the southeast, the stream is warm and the ice is slightly open. Riverside is famous for its tea, and Wuyi immortals have been planted since ancient times. " Since ancient times, Wuyishan people are not only good at planting and making tea, but also good at tasting tea. Now, Miss Tea Ceremony will perform Wuyishan Kung Fu tea ceremony for all the guests. Please calm down and enjoy the warmth and pleasure of tea ceremony with her. There are eighteen procedures for kungfu tea, the first nine are performed by him, and the last nine are performed by all the guests with his close cooperation.

The basic process of Wuyishan kungfu tea is as follows:

The first rule: burn incense and set the gas, and cook the sweet spring alive.

Burning incense and calming the air is to create a peaceful, solemn and extremely warm atmosphere by lighting this wick. I hope this refreshing smell can make everyone relaxed and happy, and I hope your heart will sublimate to an elegant and magical realm with this long cigarette.

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was a tea man who was proficient in tea ceremony. He summed up his experience in making tea and said, "Live water should be boiled with live fire." Boiling spring water alive means boiling the mountain spring water in the pot with a big fire.

The second way: gloating and rewarding guests with Ye Jia.

Proud as a peacock to show her beautiful feathers to her companions. With the triumphant help, we introduced the exquisite Kung Fu tea set used to make tea today.

"Ye Jia" is Su Dongpo's laudatory name for tea. Ye Jia rewards guests by inviting them to appreciate the appearance and shape of oolong tea.

The third way: Dabin Mulin and Oolong enter the palace.

Da Bin was a master of pot-making in Ming Dynasty. The teapot he made was amazed by later tea people and regarded as a treasure, so later people called it Dabin teapot. Dabin Mulin scalded the teapot with boiling water, with the purpose of washing the pot and raising the temperature of the pot.

Oolong entered the palace and put the tea in the pot.

The fourth way: high mountains and flowing water, spring breeze.

Wuyi tea art emphasizes "high water, low tea". Running water in the mountains, quickly lift the kettle and flush the water into the teapot, so that the tea in the kettle rolls with the water waves and plays the role of boiling water to make tea.

The spring breeze blows your face, that is, gently scrape off the white foam on the surface of the tea soup with the lid of the pot to make the tea soup in the pot clearer and cleaner.

The fifth way: Oolong enters the sea and then washes the fairy face.

Drinking Wuyi rock tea pays attention to "the first soaking in water, the second making tea, the third soaking, and the fourth soaking as essence". We usually don't take the first sip of tea soup, but pour it directly into the sea of tea. Because the tea soup is amber, it flows into the tea sea from the hukou, just like a dragon entering the sea, so it is called oolong entering the sea.

Wash the fairy face again. It was originally a cliff stone carving on the banks of Wuyi Jiuqu River, which means Erchong here. The second washing should not only fill the teapot with boiling water, but also pour boiling water outside the teapot after capping, so that internal and external heating is conducive to the distribution of tea fragrance.

The sixth way: mother and son feed each other and then inject manna.

It takes two pots to brew Wuyi rock tea. There is a teapot specially used for making tea, called "soaking pot" or "mother pot". Another pot with equal volume is used to store the brewed tea soup, which is called "sea pot" or "sub-pot". In modern times, some people use a "fair cup" instead of a sea pot to reserve tea. Injecting the tea brewed in the mother pot into the child pot is called "mother-child feeding". After the tea in the mother pot is poured clean, when the pot is hot, it is called "re-injecting nectar".

Seventh road: auspicious dragon rain, phoenix nods.

Pour the tea soup in the sea pot into the fragrant cup quickly and evenly in turn, which is called "auspicious dragon rain" and takes its auspicious meaning of "rain falling"

When there is little tea soup left in the kettle, you should

Change the quick tea pouring tour to point pouring. At this time, the tea girl's gesture is high and low to pour tea rhythmically, which is vividly called "Phoenix Nod", symbolizing to salute the guests.

In the past, some people called this procedure "Guan Gong patrolling the city" and "Han Xin spotting soldiers". Because this explanation is full of swords and shadows, it is too murderous and violates the basic spirit of "harmony" in tea ceremony, so we abandon it.
