Keywords: historical development of tea culture Text: Historical tea of tea culture has a very long history. Originated from dragons, it was heard in the Duke of Zhou, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It is one of the three most popular non-alcoholic beverages in the world, and the originator of tea is China. China has a saying: "Seven things to open the door, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea". It can be seen that tea occupies a relatively heavy position in people's daily life. There is a legend: "In ancient Huang San, Emperor Yan Shennong wrote a classic of Shennong's Materia Medica, saying:" Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and suffered seventy-two poisons every day, so he got a tea solution. "According to historical documents, China's tea and tea culture first flourished in Bashu. Since the Qin Dynasty entered Sichuan, with the unification of the country, the development of local economy and culture and the strengthening of exchanges, the tea culture in China has gradually developed, not only in other areas of Bashu, but also in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. China tea culture gradually spread from Bashu to the Three Kingdoms. During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, tea spread from the two lakes to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and South China. During this period, the southern tea culture gradually developed. In the early pre-Qin period, from the perspective of cultural ownership, tea culture was only a regional cultural connotation of Bashu. From the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, tea drinking and tea industry gradually developed in the south of China, beginning with the expansion of Bashu tea culture into a cultural phenomenon in the south. The formation of tea culture in Tang Dynasty was related to the economy, culture and development at that time. The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and attached importance to foreign exchanges. The Yangtze River was the economic, political and cultural center at that time. Tea culture in China was formed in this climate.

"In the history of China's cultural development, the origin of all things related to agriculture and plants always belongs to Shennong. After coming back here, you can't push it up any more. Because of this, Shennong became the god of agriculture. 2. Western Zhou Dynasty: Jinchangqu's "Huayang Guozhi Bazhi": "Zhou Wuwang really got the teacher of Bashu, and ... tea honey ... paid tribute." This record shows that when Zhou Wuwang attacked the week, Pakistanis had paid tribute to Zhou Wuwang with tea and other precious products. The Records of Huayang Country also recorded that there were artificially cultivated tea gardens at that time. 3. Qin and Han Dynasties: Western Han Dynasty. Wang Bao's Tongyue: "Exhausting tea" and "Wuyang buying tea" are the teas after the exam. Young's pool bears the load. Gather in the city. Be careful to protect thieves. "Boil all the tea" and "Wuyang buys tea" are both tested teas. It can be seen from the article that tea has become a part of the social diet at that time, and it is a rare thing to treat guests with courtesy, which shows the importance of tea in the social status at that time. 4. The Six Dynasties said: According to legend, tea drinking in China began in the Six Dynasties. Some people think that it started with "Sun Hao replacing wine with tea", others think that it started with "Wang Suming drinking", while Japan and India say that drinking tea began with "polishing meditation". However, the theory of Qin and Han dynasties has solid historical evidence, which weakens the correctness of the theory of Six Dynasties. Three teas and health 1.
