Days, starting with a bowl of green tea.

-briefly talk about tea.

one

People in China like drinking tea. Thousands of years ago, Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica said: Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered 72 poisons every day, so he eliminated them with tea. Prove that tea has a long history. Tea is the ancient word of tea, until Tang Luyu saved a stroke to define the word tea.

What is tea? Is black tea made of black tea? Is green tea made of green tea? ..... people often ask these questions. So what exactly is tea?

Botanical or biological significance refers to perennial evergreen woody trees or shrubs of Theaceae. Picked tea leaves are a special substance, which consists of a series of chemical components produced by various biochemical reactions.

The discovery and utilization of tea took a long time. The earliest way for the ancients to use tea was to chew raw food, mainly for medicine. Later, a fire was made to cook soup, similar to cooking vegetable soup. At that time, the ancestors only drank tea as soup or ate tea as a dish. In the Ming dynasty, there were brewed drinks, and tea books were called "four tones of Guangdong".

Today, several ways of drinking tea alternate and repeat this experience all over the world. Xuan Ming was built by Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Quan failed in politics and devoted himself to self-cultivation. A book, Tea Spectrum, was handed down from generation to generation, which standardized the consumption of tea in the future. Our lifestyle today is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but different from before, all because of the norms of the Ming Dynasty.

The late Ming Dynasty was an era of great love for daily life, emphasis on life interest and aesthetic interest. The purple sand ware has excellent structure and reached its peak. Ming-style furniture abstracts the minimalist beauty of oriental culture.

The best tea in the world comes from tea, which is a kind of beverage with extremely rich nutritional value. Tea contains sugars, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, pigments, fats, caffeine (theophylline), theanine and so on. Drinking tea for a long time can supplement the nutrition of other food shortages.

All kinds of tea have different properties and different effects, so it is best to eat them according to the specific situation, according to the four seasons and regions, in line with their own nature. Such grains are cultivated and cannot be neglected.

The effective components of tea can regulate human function and scavenge free radicals by activating the activity of human enzymes or other ways. Free radicals are similar to refugees in human society and may attack good cells of human body at any time, while tea is similar to the police, which will attack free radicals first and inhibit their development. The principle of tea anti-cancer is basically the same.

A friend likes to eat leaves after drinking, which makes sense. Some vitamins in tea are insoluble in water, which is more conducive to entering the human body through chewing.

Some people can't stand the nerve stimulation of theophylline after eating tea, can't sleep at night, and are too scared to drink after noon. A friend suffered greatly from it. A joke said that he just drank white water or tea, made a cup of bow and snake shadow, and stayed up all night. Shame. Shame. Later, I didn't touch a drop of tea, watching us cup after cup, sighing, alas, no such luck!

This is a simple physiological reaction, but it becomes a complex psychological projection. Life science is so mysterious. It is extremely difficult for human beings to understand the nature of life, and it is not easy to live a clear life. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism discovered many functions of tea, which resulted in the abstract concept of tea ceremony, namely, leading to harmony, appreciating mountains and rivers, removing metaphysics, appreciating taste, integrating nature with man, and integrating things with me.

China, tea is an open concept. Tea contains many things that do not belong to Theaceae, such as chrysanthemum, buckwheat and kudingcha ....................................................................................................................................................... Their functions are more health care, which come from pharmacology and tea.

There are also teas created by the environment, such as "Wang's Zizyphus jujube scented tea" made in Yan 'an period, which made Zizyphus jujube leaves tender and rose white, and made people happy for a while in the revolutionary period.

In the country, the fire is very big. Go to the wild and grab a handful of fresh mint and soak it in water. In the deep spring, tender mulberry bud let go of hot water. The green soup was particularly soft, but after a fire, it was healthy. Recently, I was infected with chronic pharyngitis, smoked some wintersweet and soaked in soup, and I got well.

One day, a lady walked into the shop and asked: What kind of tea is Anji White Tea? I said, green tea. She said, then I sat down and asked many shops, but I didn't know it was green tea. Oh, she wants to test me. Similar life pictures can be often encountered, vivid and interesting.

There are many kinds of tea, and the division according to the degree of fermentation is the most concise and orderly. The most mainstream is white, yellow, green, red and black, plus reprocessed tea.

Cooking is similar to making tea. Craft is constantly changing, and the basis of change is bound to be related to humanistic ecology and geographical ecology. The characteristics of the times will give different characteristics to the past and the future. There is no better craft, only the craft that conforms to human feelings, which greatly caters to people's inner aesthetics, and one side of the soil and water will support one side.

Popular Avenue, popularity is the greatest strength, which has nothing to do with elegance, but with comfort. Go back to the most authentic state, let your heart dominate you, and you can cut into fashion and reach the peak of elegance. That's because of the perfection of technology and Tao. Perfection is the highest aesthetic value of everything, from which you can realize the existence of pure human nature.

Tea is more delicate and expensive, and preservation requires certain conditions. Generally, it can be ventilated, odorless and protected from light.

Be kind to tea, protect the law and customs for her, give her a good environment, let her practice slowly and quietly, and one day she will suddenly give you a surprise. Treat tea like a person. Of course, you have to save tea to get a good return. Tea with poor quality will not improve its temperament in any case.

Some have to be refrigerated, such as green tea and Guanyin in oolong tea. Many people don't know, buy it home and store it casually, complaining that it is not good to drink it back. The temperature has been high for a long time, and it is not fresh. Some people know it, but don't refrigerate it. Let it go and be exposed. For example, many teahouses are packaged in gorgeous packaging, and then put in plastic packaging (which looks good) on the cabinets, saying that this is a factory direct sale. People often buy old tea in anger and want to know why they put it in the refrigerator.

Tea smells good. There is a story that a gentleman bought tea and put a bar of soap in his pocket to go home. Sitting in the water making tea, smelling of soap, spraying all over the floor, so angry, damn it! What kind of tea? He made his own strange tea, but he relied on others. Such things happen from time to time. Jasmine tea and many other reprocessed teas take advantage of this feature. After the renovation of the new house, tea was also used to remove the smell, in addition to formaldehyde. Some people put the tea bag in the car and smell it, so they keenly smell the owner's greed for tea and call when they get on the bus. Are you addicted to tea?

Many people are superstitious about old tea, which is a bit problematic. Foolishly thought that 30 years or so should be the peak, and then, it got worse and worse, and finally even the taste of tea was gone. It is rumored that Mr. Lu Xun once left Zhou Haiying a precious Pu 'er tea cake, but it was not very similar to tea. There is no need to delve into the truth of the story, but it tells the truth.

How to make tea? This is a question that many people ask me. I said: Suiyuan. Shennong waded through mountains and rivers, and there was no boiled water. How to wash the container? How to set up a seat? ..... So, just go with the flow and forget all the rules and logic. Do as Romans do in Rome. As long as people and tea are good, there is no problem.

It is most important to respect a person from the heart. But because of disrespect for ethics, the face should be disgusting. In Zuo Zhuan's Thirteen Years of Being a King, there are: a gentleman is diligent and polite, and a villain tries his best. Diligence is like tribute and sincerity.

In one case, the old monk sometimes shines at King Kong, and the Bodhisattva sometimes bows his head. Misha is puzzled. The monk said: a master can point directly at people's hearts, show people in their true colors, and beat and scold them; China people metaphor, talk about size, not beaten and scolded; Servants need to put their hands together and smile. Their hearts are small and fragile, and secular etiquette is acceptable.

There are different reasons for drinking tea. Some are out of hobbies, such as caring about love and being good at it; Some are out of need, such as reducing fat and losing weight, such as fighting cancer cells; ..... but no matter what the reason, eating tea is a kind of gain for you.

Today, the material is extremely rich and the industry is developing rapidly. The main goal is to pursue material interests, but it lacks a mentality of seeking beauty. Slow is actually a way to achieve aesthetic mood.

Drinking tea is a way of life, a way to slow down the pace of life. Tea and cigarettes are a kind of life details that you can integrate into your life. Tea tasting, knowing and not knowing is a kind of cultivation. Tea is a kind of landscape memory. Drinking tea allows you to enjoy the forest between tea and soup. Tea culture is the cultural memory of a nation and a country.

Take part in tea tasting activities to make life pure. However, whether it is tea ceremony, tea meditation or tea ceremony ..... you just have an extra channel to pay attention to the world, or cultivate a unique perspective to know the world. It doesn't matter. Tea life is superior to other things.

Find a place where you can drink tea, read books, play the piano and be lonely. ......

Nest up, in a daze ......
