On the Beauty of Tea Ceremony

How to put a cup of tea in a cup is different. The tea man said: one cup is for tasting, two cups are for quenching thirst, and three cups are for rough drinking. Good Tea In my life, I often think of Su Dongpo's "forever good tea is like a beautiful woman", and I often think that tea is enough for my life. Literati are good at tea, and playing chess, calligraphy, painting, wine and tea are the seven elegant things of ancient literati, which are inseparable from each other. "Tea loves flowers and drinks, and poetry is like a roll." "Cooking tea is a good flower, playing the piano is a good confidant". Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are seven things that open the door to people's lives, and tea is a necessity. Bai Juyi said, "When you wake up after dinner, you will get two cups of tea." .

Tea is a kind of life, and different people can taste tea with different meanings. It is the need of people to drink tea, the Zen of monks, the way of Taoist tea tasting and the culture of literati. In the eyes of literati, tea is a sacred thing, which can bring people spiritual pleasure. West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Mao Feng, Lushan Clouds, Dongting Biluochun, Fengqi, Shanxiu, the lake, tea fragrance, elegant and beautiful tea names make people intoxicated before drinking. Warm pots, hot cups, washing tea, making tea, turning cups, offering tea, smelling incense and tasting tea are the pleasures of tea. When tasting tea, first observe the shape of tea, smell the fragrance in the hot air, then savor it carefully and drink it carefully.

Pay attention to tea tasting. You must drink three mouthfuls of a cup of tea, the first is to taste the tea warm, the second is to taste the tea fragrant, and the third is to drink tea. When drinking tea, the tea soup is swirling in your mouth, and you feel that your mouth and nose are fragrant. Mao Feng is fresh and refreshing, Biluochun is sweet, Yunxiang is rich, and Longjing is rich and sweet. Tea tasting needs a kind mirror. Meditate alone in the quiet night. From the bitter tea juice, you can taste many meanings of life outside the tea, and your mind will return to peace.

Tea tasting needs a good environment, and simplicity and tranquility are the most important. Tea can be drunk alone or suitable for drinking. The ancients paid attention to making friends with tea, with good tea, beautiful scenery and bosom friends. "Guests come to tea for wine on a cold night", and both the host and the guest enjoy themselves in the tea tasting room. Friendship is like tea. The more you drink it, the stronger it gets. Drink a good cup of tea, listen to a famous song, read a good book, enjoy the fun of life in the dull, and have a indifferent state of mind. This is the fun of tea tasting. To teach you how to make a good cup of green tea, you must master the amount of tea and the temperature of water to make tea taste better. The amount of tea is said to be "fine tea is eaten coarse, coarse tea is eaten fine". Generally speaking, delicate tea contains less tea juice, so put more when brewing; Coarse tea contains more tea juice, so put less. Based on a glass of water of 250 ml, generally 3~5 grams of tea can be put, and about 8 grams of fine tea such as oolong tea should be put. The temperature of tea depends on the quality of water and the grade of tea. If the water quality is good, you can boil it to make tea. Excessive boiling will lose trace elements beneficial to human body and make tea soup lose its flavor. If the water quality is not good, it needs to be boiled for a period of time to precipitate impurities. As the saying goes, "Old tea needs to be brewed, while tender tea needs to be brewed." The so-called brewing is to use freshly boiled water; The so-called bubble is to use water in a thermos. From a scientific point of view, soaking tea with high humidity will destroy vitamin C in tea, but the water humidity is too low, and the tea fragrance is not easy to overflow. In order to have the best of both worlds, drink high-grade and delicate green tea, and the water temperature is preferably 80~90℃. Especially tender tea, the water temperature can be lower when making tea. Other low-grade teas can be brewed with 100℃ boiling water. As for black tea and scented tea, it is advisable to brew with freshly boiled water and cover the cup to avoid fragrance.

The ratio of tea to water is generally 3~4 grams of dry tea, with 200~250 ml of boiling water, and it is better to drink slowly after soaking for 3~4 minutes. High-grade tea is brewed too much at a time, which will affect the true taste of tea, quiet and distant; Too much low-grade dosage, bitter taste, difficult to import. In short, making tea is quite learned. Only by careful consideration and repeated practice can we enjoy the fragrance and sweetness of tea and bring people's spirit into a dreamland.

A cup of pure fragrance permeates the surrounding air, which seems to have a smoky feeling. When you gently open the dusty Selected Works of Contemporary Literature in China beside your desk, you will only see the long-lost words flowing like water, simple and intriguing.

Taking a sip of tea and putting it in your mouth is actually a carefree feeling. Holding up the teacup and observing, isn't the tumbling tea a portrayal of the ups and downs of fate? This piece falls and that piece rises. Life is full of pride, but everything can't be satisfactory. This amazing similarity makes me think further. Has the world outlook on tea improved? Take another sip with these questions. Ah! I found that this is not entirely sweet! Perhaps it is the calm mood after the ups and downs of tea! This is the true color of the sun and water after boiling! It is also a life feeling that does not luxury fame and fortune, regardless of gains and losses!

The sinner's tea smells fresh. Shiny words have another effect on me.

Words in American English are naturally beautiful. Sometimes when you are hungry, you can even use them to satisfy your hunger. The effect is still obvious! It does not mean that human beings will bid farewell to whole grains from now on, nor can they simply want to eat words made of dense ink! It is a kind of spiritual food and can bring people pure natural "green food". Only when we really absorb these nutrients can we feel strong and energetic. When I am tired, I will go back to the works of writers I admire and chew them carefully, which can relieve fatigue. I like this faint ink fragrance, and I like the stories that happen between the lines. This is not like the long journey of my life, I hope to leave a faint scent.

Enjoy words and tea.

My heart is still in the forest with fallen leaves, so let me bathe in the fragrance of tea and books!

My heart is clear and clean, so I don't have to pretend. I'm topless, and I'm really myself. Sunshine dances in the blue sky, guiding my life. The earth will wear heavy clothes to dominate my destiny logic! Tea and books will bring me endless food and grass, so that I won't be tired and lonely during the long journey.

Halfway through a cup of tea, one page of the book is finished.

My thoughts are spreading and never ending!

I've heard, seen and had tea.

Listen to tea, the legend of tea, the mystery and profundity, and the tea culture. When you look at tea, you see the etiquette and politeness of tea, and you are exposed to tea and tea culture. And drinking tea means making friends with tea, quenching thirst with tea, and nourishing the heart and nature with tea. Tea has changed from a cultural symbol to real life. Tea is a real color and smell, and tea is a normal, natural and appropriate life and mood.

I like to sit alone and drink tea slowly, like to drink slowly in the silence of the teahouse, like to taste new tea alone, and like to drink tea alone. There is a cup of tea, there is a quiet, taste tea in one's quiet, and then taste life and world life because of tea.

Drinking tea is a pleasure. When you are upset and exhausted, make a cup of tea. Slowly watch the tea spread its body and branches in the water, bloom beautiful flowers, and watch the yellow petals dye through the whole glass of water.

Cui still vaguely forgot Chen.

Being in the boundless ice and snow in the north seems to be immersed in a rainy tea garden in the south of the Yangtze River, as if dancing with camellia in the wind, as if hearing camellia quietly telling. Holding a cup of tea, listening to the wind and rain in the fragrance of tea, reading, drawing and writing. A cup of strong tea or weak tea, a long or short silence.

The tea culture in China is extensive and profound, from the tea songs and ballads in The Book of Songs to Lu Yu's Tea Classic, Wen's Tea Picking Record and even Daguan Tea Classic. From camellia to tea set, from tea classics to tea songs, it can be seen that tea culture has a long history in China.

There are many kinds of teas in China, mainly black tea, green tea and scented tea. Green tea includes good tea, Mao Feng, Maojian tea and Longjing tea. Black tea is made from fermented green tea. Famous products include Sichuan Tuocha, Guangdong Tieguanyin, Dianhong, Qimen black tea and Pu 'er tea. Scented tea is mainly jasmine tea and chrysanthemum tea.

Good tea is fragrant, tangible and colored, and another allusion is famous tea.

Among the five flavors of tea, the fragrance is the main one, and the fragrance, light fragrance and strong fragrance have their own flavors.

Red and green scented tea has its own flavor, and green tea is fragrant and moistens the throat, which is refreshing. It is said that the best is the new tea of that year. Su Dongpo has a saying: New fire tries new tea, poetry and wine take time. Biluochun in green tea is a kind of subtle beauty with a fragrant smell. The oolong is steady and steady, full of vigor, and the aftertaste is as mellow as old wine. Huangshan Mao Feng, fragrant as blue after brewing, has a mellow and sweet taste; Enshi Yulu has a fresh fragrance; The white silver needle is sweet and refreshing. Longjing is mysterious and lofty, and the tiger runs Longjing only to hear its voice, which is not blessed to witness.

Black tea is usually thicker and more bitter than green tea. Its strong tea color is dark brown, its taste is long and vigorous, and there is another kind of simplicity and roughness. Brick tea is said to be cooked in an iron pot. It tastes warm and kind, just like an old friend for many years.

Scented tea has the fragrance of flowers, or jasmine or chrysanthemum. Its taste is refreshing and elegant, like a small jasper, and it can also relieve summer heat, detoxify and cleanse the heart.

Good tea has a good shape, and the shape of dry tea leaves is better than that soaked in water. Biluochun's white hair is exposed, curled into snail shape, silvery green in color and attractive emerald green; The Mao Feng of Huangshan Mountain is thin and flat, slightly curved, like a sparrow tongue; Enshi Yulu, with neat buds and green color; The white silver needle is like a slender silver needle, standing upright and staggered up and down. And before it rains, tea has flags and guns, three times, like smoke. When you hold tea in a transparent glass, you can watch the tea rise and fall. After brewing, the white clouds rolled in the cup, and the tea was filled in a white porcelain bowl, showing the fluttering and dancing of the tea.

Brown is another product: good tea has lust. The color of green tea is faint, some are clear in Huang Liang, some are silvery green and emerald, and some are green as jade. Black tea is steady and heavy, enchanting and mellow. Kung fu tea drinks kung fu, tea set and mood, not tea.

The first time I drank black tea was in an inn on a trip. I took a nap after a long journey. Although I am in a hurry, the color of tea seems to be a woman in her thirties, and it is so calm and profound. The color of scented tea is as transparent as flowers, as light as flowers and as beautiful as stamens. There is the fragrance of jasmine and the intensity of chrysanthemum, such as the spring breeze sweeping the face and the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

Drinking can be immortal, and drinking tea can be enlightened. In ancient poetry, singing tea is a big topic. Lu You has a saying that "short paper is inclined to be grass, and the window is cleared to divide milk and tea". There are "no worries, a few wisps of tea smoke"; Lao Du has "Chai Jing has tea, and the road leads to Lin Qiu"; Du Xiaoshan has a saying that "guests come to tea for wine on a cold night, and the bamboo stove soup is boiling red"; Zhu Dunru has "gone with the wind, flag pavilion for wine, Xiao temple for tea"; Li Qingzhao has a saying that "the wine cellar loves bitter tea more, and the dream is broken." There is "cardamom fried in water, regardless of tea." There is a saying that "I won the prize that year, smoked sleeves were born, and tea was divided by living fire." Xin Qiji has "getting old every spring is like a sick wine." It's just that the tea smells small. "

In addition to China's tea, Japanese teahouses have pushed tea culture to its peak. Exquisite utensils, elegant furniture and beautiful women serve tea are a pure expression of tea culture. Black tea and bread and butter in English family afternoon tea are symbols of social status and status, and they taste like gentlemen.

There are other kinds of wild tea, such as bagged tea in a hurry under the fast pace of modern life, and tea powder without knowing the essence and dross.

Some people drink tea to quench their thirst, some because of its fragrance, some to kill time, and some to drink tea. Some teas are for drinking, others are for tasting, and different people drink the same tea differently.

Zhou Zuoren said that drinking tea should be in Jiangcun, under the paper window of the tile house, with clear spring green tea, and two or three people can drink it for half a day, which can be worth ten years of dust dreams. Miao Yu, a figure in the Red Chamber, said: One cup is a delicacy, two cups are stupid things for quenching thirst, and three cups are for drinking cattle and mules. Su Dongpo's Japanese master is thirsty for tea, and knocking at the door to ask the savage is another way to drink. And frying tea with snow water will bring silent snow, embrace flying flowers, be ecstatic, and be more elegant. There is also Longjing tea that I have been longing for for for a long time. I listen to classics and have a cup of tea in a quiet place with pleasant scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers. I wonder if there is one today.

A glass of water, as its name implies, is naturally rich in elegance. The thick and faint fragrance of tea often makes people miss the old cottage, the floating dust falls, the years pass, and they yearn for three mountains and five mountains, three cups of two fragrant teas.

Tea can be tasted with coarse porcelain flower bowls, transparent glasses, small bowls of mud and small teapots. That kind of beauty is a simple and amazing thing to the bone.

Drinking wine for a long time can be a song, and drinking tea lightly can also make you drunk. A few leaves of lion peak Longjing, 32-year-old Pu 'er tea, and a pot of new tea on the market when the grass is flying in the south of the Yangtze River are immersed in the thick and faint wind and rain outside the Great Wall, which makes people intoxicated.

A cup of tea, a cup of tea and a flower, there must be a beautiful soul in a beautiful flower. Tea is slightly bitter, with the floating dust of the north and south storms, the smell of the four seasons' wind and frost, and the calmness after the storms.

Petals fluttering gently in the water, I can understand her pain, loneliness and warmth, her silent flowers falling, her calm and indifferent beauty. She also understands my sleepless nights, my silence and my shadow. Drinking a cup of strong tea reminds me of the rainy season in Lingnan, and let the infinite spring flow through my heart.

Time goes by like running water, only tea is still black. Just open the window casually. It's a quiet autumn day, and the warm wind is blowing outside. Under the blue sky and white clouds, leaves rustle and tea is surrounded. A quiet and comfortable life is like this leisurely cup of hot tea, and cherishing it is happiness. Leisure in life is the time to drink tea. A floating life, a bleak world, is most suitable for people to taste after middle age. Three meals and five grains, the five flavors of life, all turn into thick and light in tea, with strong fragrance and light fragrance.

Strong tea and fresh water, pour it carefully, taste tea, taste life and taste life. Thick life, light days and flowing years are all in tea.

Tea tasting, mood tasting and life tasting have their own advantages, but some people don't taste it slowly. Some people say that mature women drink coffee and mature men drink tea. Recently, the bamboo leaves in Emei Mountain were finished, so I replaced them. However, Dahongpao and Dahongpao also need to be carefully savored to taste their different meanings from Zhuyeqing. Tea fragrance wafts in the valley, and the clouds are light and the wind is clear. This feeling is so beautiful. Light but not astringent, fragrant but not tangy, slowly drifting. ...

Coffee and tea can always bring people into two completely different realms. Imagine that they are the most lonely people in the opaque brown and the faint smoke. So the bitterness of coffee is the bottom of bitterness. Chaze symbolizes a kind of meaning. It takes patience and great restraint to drink tea slowly.

Not everyone can taste the meaning of tea, even if the first-class good tea is placed in front of a person who doesn't know the taste, he can't feel the fragrance of tea. The more you drink tea, the weaker it becomes. Like many feelings, it will fade over time. The more you drink tea, the weaker it becomes. However, the fragrance of tea in the teapot we use to make tea water will get stronger and stronger ... so when everything fades, the brand left in our hearts will get deeper and deeper ... Many things are indelible memories. Tea is like life. As time goes by, we get old. Just like the wrinkles around our eyes, our temples are frosted.

Knowing how to remember is a wise man, being good at forgetting is a great wise man, and "things are rare" is a great wisdom in life. Everything in the world is related, with yin and yang.

I feel that the taste of light tea is more intriguing. Nothing can't be changed, but it will change over time. Everything in the world is complementary to each other, which is a contradiction and a philosophy. Therefore, even if there has been unbearable pain and suffering in life, it will not be worthless. At least we can learn a lesson, make our will more firm and make our thoughts and personality more mature. I am often moved by the transparent light green or dark yellow, as well as the rolled leaves.

If you want to drink, you must drink light tea. The taste must be extremely light, blowing around like a breeze from a distant mountain spring. Sometimes, it's as if someone lit a bunch of Leng Xiang from a distant country not far behind him, which is mixed with the beauty of religious peace and tranquility. Therefore, the soul is a piece of clarity that has never been seen before, as if it had become a poem of the Tang and Song Dynasties, full of flavor and infinite meaning. At this time, tasting a cup of fragrant tea is like tasting a sweet life.

Green tea is a glass of wine, and the fragrance of flying tea is elegant. Walking through the noise, I suddenly found that plain is the most real and beautiful! !

Pincha life

I have never smoked or drunk in my life. My only hobby is drinking tea. As long as I am free, I like to make a cup of green tea in a glass. Then sit by and watch the ups and downs of tea in the cup, and relax your tired body and mind.

Making tea in a glass has a special taste. You can have more fun drinking tea through the transparent cup in Chang Ying. Especially after work, a person in a room, making a cup of green tea, quietly watching the changes in the cup in front of you, you will find endless. Looking at transpiration, it's like the fog in Qingming Festival. Through the rising water vapor like smoke and fog, people will unconsciously fall into an endless reverie, a Zen artistic conception, and it seems that there will be a splash-ink landscape painting in front of them. "When the plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River are ripe, the night boat will play the flute and rain, and enter the bridge."

The tea in that cup is even more unpredictable, blossoming buds, slowly stretching. Or like a sparrow's tongue, or flags (young leaves) and guns (bud tips) staggered, swaying and lifelike. Careful observation, that piece of green shoots will actually see thin hair, like a vibrant spring. Raise a glass to taste tea, the fragrance is mellow, the tip of the tongue feels bitter tea rhyme, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet.

After drinking tea for a long time and watching it for a long time, I gradually realized a lot. Life is like tea, tea is like life.

A piece of tea looks so small, so delicate, so insignificant, but so subtle. When it is put into a cup, once it is mixed with water, it will release everything, contribute all its essence without reservation, and complete all its values.

Although there is no fragrant tea without tea, at this moment, what people appreciate, pay attention to and taste is no longer the pieces of tea, but the cups of water.

Isn't all this like a person's life? In this world, everyone is like a piece of tea, and everyone should contribute his own life, from birth to death, to complete his own life course.

In this process, society will not pay attention to everyone deliberately, just as few people will care about every piece of tea in a cup when drinking tea. Tea will not be helpless because it is dissolved in clear water, so it will only remain fragrant in the world; Each of us doesn't have to be depressed because we are integrated into the collective without being concerned, because we have achieved others, helped the society, contributed ourselves and cultivated our lives. Tea trees sprout every year and the tree of life is evergreen.

In other words, the value of tea lies in dissolving in water to become tea. Good tea, whether it is Longjing by Xizi Lake, Biluochun on Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Dahongpao on the cliff of Wuyi Mountain, or Tieguanyin in Anxi City, Fujian Province, is of no use if it is insoluble in water and is not tasted, tasted and drunk. As a person, no matter how high his knowledge and ability are, what can he do if he has no contribution to society? Life is too short to be like a cup of tea. You don't have to pursue eternity. You don't have to pursue fame and wealth before you die. If you pay for it all your life, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse?

The ancients said: "It is almost impossible to pursue with limited vision." In my opinion, the most appropriate feeling of tea tasting is the faint taste in a cup of green tea. Tasting is the sweetest and most lasting. Too much is boring, as the saying goes: too much is too late. If you are poor and happy, you will be at a loss because you have tasted all the sweets. You are like a glutton for food, and you have no appetite. The world's fortunes come and go, and the world of mortals is rolling. Only by being indifferent can we be quiet and have the deepest, most meticulous, most unique and most valuable taste in life. All this is similar to tasting tea. Tea, only bitter, can refresh.

In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zhende once concluded that tea has ten virtues: dispersing depression with tea; Drive sleep with tea; Nourish life with tea; Eliminate evil with tea; Li ren uses tea; Show respect with tea; Taste with tea; Nourish the body with tea; Tea is feasible; Tea can nourish one's ambition. Therefore, tea in China is not just a drink, it represents a culture, a value orientation, expresses the attitude towards emotion and life, and has a deeper spiritual realm. If a person has the taste of tea, he will naturally love life, emotion and life. People who love life must be complete in personality.

As Cha Sheng Lu Yu said in the Book of Tea, people who know tea must be "thrifty people".

The strong and astringent taste of tea

The Great Sage of Qitian and the Great Fairy of Wuzhuang in The Journey to the West were angry, which made the ginseng fruit tree wither. We asked Master Guanyin to use magic to bring ginseng fruit trees back to life. Everyone is very happy, similar to the experience of drinking tea. Green tea, picking with plain hands, frying with skillful hands, and baking the finished product; Each piece of tea is independent, and thousands of Qian Qian tea cells are squeezed into the carrier without flowing, just like a gentleman; Although it was not covered with green before picking, it was dry and hard, so it took a long time. Once brewed, the dead tea will indulge in the boiling hot water and stretch gently in the pot lamp. When the salted fish turns over, someone will love it.

Picking tea, making tea and making tea can be said to be unintentional. Tea can make people feel happy, but it also needs manual adjustment. After all, this kind of tea can only fade its original color by burning and hoarding, and then it can win the final reputation by brewing with hot water. Just like human destiny, it is different. After several ups and downs, it is complete. "Smile, be happy." I miss Jin Yu, sweet orange, and nobody cares. It is inevitable that I will be defeated at the end of the season. My talent is not satisfied. Alas, who is mourning with whom? Vanilla ashes wasteland, a mirror of a beautiful woman's life, has fallen into the dust of the ages, and heaven has listed it as straw dogs. Why not mourn its injury? Bright spring flowers are also exposed to the cold moonlight. When the flowers bloom, they are crowded, and when they die, they are lonely. One prospers and the other declines, which shows that the world is cold. No wonder the chrysanthemum pickers in Dongpu don't like the virtue of their disciples. The fragrance between the world of mortals has its prosperous or narcissistic flavor. The growth of life lies in the solar terms, but it needs to be all-encompassing. The true meaning of deliberate lies in nature, following the crowd, being true and lasting, which can be regarded as Liu Xiahui's flower appreciation.

The leaves of green tea are not elegant and prosperous in the world, but moistened in fatigue, thick and light, silently tested by hot water, baptized by boiling water, only to return to their original appearance, and then exude a fragrance.

Surrounded by green hills and bays, tea tasting is the epitome of ancient sentiment. When pouring tea, people suddenly correspond to the mountains and rivers. Man is a towering mountain, the spout is the cliff of the probe, the lamp is the pool water, and the tea is an intermittent waterfall that pours heart music. Then, the kettle was lifted, and there was movement in silence. In the eyes, the heartstrings were ringing. Even if there is no dried fruit, just words are good refreshments; Drinking alone is also fun, comparable to a person supporting Kun, a person pulling mountains and clearing the sea, and relaxing freely in a free world. Lao Zi and Zhuangzi should do nothing if they were born in Sri Lanka. The operation of the tea set is just right, orderly, tepid and dazzling. I'm afraid that men will stay away from the kitchen and be vegetarian if they don't participate in politics. Only women do not like such men. If men dress lofty and have fun, they should correct it. Put on an apron and a real man can go to the kitchen in the lobby.

It is well known that tea is astringent and astringent. Cities and rural areas are smart and ordinary, and they all taste the same. If you can concentrate on drinking tea, you can dissolve the diversity or indifference of the world just by hissing and swallowing. The warmth of hands, connected with endless feelings, melts into warm tea. A long time and a long time are hidden in your chest, and the point you can't feel is the end you haven't reached, and a short existence is the eternal moment. Mountains and rivers live and work in peace and contentment forever. Tea is different from wine, it is drinking, tea is trust, and wine is nonsense. It is advisable to drink tea when we meet, even if we are separated, we are sad but not hurt, because we are bright, resentful and not arrogant, because we are kind; Tea is different from water, and its roots are not forgotten. Moisturize the heart, cleanse the stagnation, full of human feelings, strong tea is light and full of heart. It is simply the preface of predecessors and the masterpiece of the continuation of today's works. That tea, full of vicissitudes and youthful memories, is vivid, dreamlike and untouchable, lingering in the ethereal fragrance, flowing in the inexplicable artistic conception, and lingering for a long time. ...
