abstract of a thesis

Tea tree, evergreen shrub, with white flowers. The processed young leaves are tea.

China is the origin of tea trees. China's contribution to human beings in the tea industry mainly lies in the earliest discovery and utilization of this plant, which has developed into a splendid and unique tea culture in China, the East and even the whole world.

The Tang Dynasty is an important dynasty in Chinese history, and it also occupies an important position in the history of tea making in China. Since the middle Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has been popular in the Great Wall of Northwest China. So local herders rushed to the mainland to exchange tea with improved horses, which was further expanded through messengers and businessmen. This is the famous "tea-horse trade" in history. In Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, "So much so that she finally married herself to a businessman, who paid attention to profits and persuaded her not to leave." I went to Fuliang to buy tea a month ago, and she was guarding an empty boat at the estuary. " It can also prove this.

The development of tea culture lies in:

1, the prevalence of drinking tea.

The popularity and elegance of tea have rich connotations handed down from generation to generation. In addition to mass tea drinking and court tea drinking, there is also a circle of monks. Tea and Buddhism have a deep fate, and this fate became more closely linked in the Tang Dynasty. In recent years, Tang Xizong's gold and silver tea sets unearthed from Famen Temple in Shaanxi Province also reflect the special relationship of the Buddha drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty.

2. Scholars participate and poetry is sung.

In the development of tea culture in Tang Dynasty, the enthusiasm of literati also played an important role in promoting it. Typical poems are the creation of tea poems, such as Answering a Nephew by Li Bai and Giving a Jade Cactus by Zhongfu Monk, Qincha by Bai Juyi and Tea with a Pot by Miracle. These tea poems appear in the form of ancient poems, regular poems and quatrains, covering all aspects of tea ceremony.

China tea was introduced to Japan in the th century, but it was not produced in Japan at that time. Therefore, tea is still rare and expensive, only for the upper class nobles and monasteries, and ordinary people dare not expect it. For example, Anxi Tea Road.

"Anxi Tea Art" originated from Anxi Tieguanyin Kung Fu Tea. After excavation, sorting, refining and sublimation, it has become a unique Tieguanyin tea art.

Tips for tea tasting: It is an art of tea tasting to let tea tasters know about oolong tea, especially the tea-making skills of the famous tea Tieguanyin. Specifically, it includes: tea tasting environment, tea selection, water quality identification, tea set selection, tea talent selection, tea music and so on. The process of tea art is polite and orderly, exquisite and beautiful, full of the charm of tea, which makes people enjoy the beauty in the process of tea tasting.

The essence of tea art: the purity of (pure) tea, the purity of tea owners and the purity of tea friends.

Charm of tea art: (elegant) meticulous tea making, beautiful coordination and elegant tea bureau show the charm of tea art.

The virtue of tea art: (courtesy) be grateful for nature, respect tea farmers, be sincere in tea customers and unite the friendship of tea friends.

The way of tea art: (Harmony) The harmony between people, people and tea, and people and nature is the love of the soul. It conveys the spiritual concept of tea ceremony: purity, elegance, comity and harmony. What it spreads is: the blend of man and nature; Encourage people to move towards a higher level of life.

Japanese tea ceremony is a copy of Tang Wenhua. Its main purpose is to receive guests, contact feelings and cultivate temperament. At first, many farmers who grow tea often hold tea competitions regularly, which has developed into a kind of entertainment for many people. Let's have tea together to renew our friendship. Monks preach with tea, taste tea elegantly and fear enlightenment.

Japanese tea ceremony should embody harmony (peace), respect (friendship), purity (silence) and quietness (elegance).

In Japan, tea ceremony is usually held at morning tea time, after dinner, after day and after midnight. The tea ceremony has a series of regulations on the environment of the tea party. Apart from "harmony" and "respect", it is to emphasize the spirit, attitude and words between the host and guests at the tea party, while "purity" and "quietness" mainly show the teahouse, and the environment and atmosphere of the tea pavilion should fully reflect tranquility and elegance.

At present, some tea areas in China, such as Fujian, hold regular tea parties, which are generally similar to the Japanese tea ceremony. For example, the Anxi Tea Road in China is slightly similar to the Japanese tea ceremony.

In addition to the comparison of Chinese and Japanese tea culture, there are inevitably places for us to think. Tea originated in China and flourished in China. Why has the connotation of this splendid cultural treasure changed for thousands of years in the past hundred years? There are hundreds of millions of people today.

Take a shower and change clothes before drinking tea. Drinking tea is not enough to attract tea, but to savor the spiritual pleasure brought by our drinking tea.

at least

The more divorced from this world full of atmosphere, the pursuit of people can also rise from material enjoyment to a higher level of spiritual enjoyment. We should attach importance to traditional culture, which is more urgent in this competitive era. We should learn from Japan's pursuit of tea culture, and we don't have to pretend to be a big country. Nowadays, Japan has kept a complete set of tea drinking habits and incorporated them into the textbooks of college, middle school and primary school students, which shows its universality.

Foreigners meticulously study our traditional culture and inherit it, but we can't inherit and carry forward these cultural traditions well ourselves, which inevitably makes us think!

The night is silent,

Xiao Kan Ping Zhan Jie Yin Su.

That bowl of tea is always cold and rhymes.

Although plum blossoms are cold, they know spring.
