Why do people in China like drinking tea so much?

There is a special drink, no matter how the times change, it can't change the habit of China people drinking it. This drink is tea, so why do people in China like tea best?

The history of China tea can be traced back to Shennong period. "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered 72 poisons every day, so he solved it with tea." Since then, tea has been pushed to the altar, and even the ruling class is extremely respected. It has been clearly put forward that "a country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and a monarch cannot be without tea for a day".

First of all, there is a problem. What's the difference between tea trees and other trees? There is a very simple way to judge. This kind of leaf has a strange fragrance, serrated edges and the back of the leaf is furry. The most important thing is that all the veins are connected end to end and will become a net. If you meet this kind of tree in the wild, congratulations, you have found a super precious wild tea tree!

Tea was originally used as medicine. Mainly has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. However, as the ancestor of the food-eating country, we will naturally not miss the opportunity to develop new ways to eat tea.

Method of making tea: This is a good pot of soup.

It's always right to cook soup with water and add seasoning! And any food with China spices has the ability to turn decay into magic! Like Laoganma. Andy Ji of the Three Kingdoms said this in Guangya:

"Beijing, Ye Laohan, cakes and rice paste pick tea and make cakes. To cook tea, first stir-fry it red, mash it, put it in porcelain, pour soup and water, and then stir it with onion, ginger and orange to sober you up and keep you awake. "

Bake the tea leaves red first, then grind them into fine tea soup with onion, ginger and orange to sober up. Probably it will be more like smashing tea (ginger, raw rice, drinks cooked with raw tea) in Fujian and Guangdong.

Tea-frying method: That's him, that's him, that's him, pretending to be an expert Lu Yu Jr.

This drinking method can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when the prohibition of alcohol was promulgated. Without alcohol, how can you tell the story of picking up girls? So when people in the Tang Dynasty didn't know what to drink, Lu Yu appeared.

Lu Yu is a little boy who loves tea since he was a child. Not only does he like drinking tea, but he always puts forward new ideas, such as "Mom, the taste of this leaf is not as good as before", and the original words are "like throwing water into a ditch". It is conceivable that Lu Yu's mother probably gave him a beating. "Every child has a good meal, or you can cook it yourself!"

Later, Lu Yu really created a set-Lu Yu fried tea method.

This high pressure directly established Lu Yu's status as Cha Sheng. How did this high-forced fried tea come from? Actually, it's not difficult

Get a small cake tea (similar to Tang Dynasty) first.

Second, buy a good tea frying utensil.

Third, then you can open the instructions.

It is this masterpiece called "Tea Classics" that has been operated according to the instructions!

In the Tang Dynasty, people drank more cakes and teas. Before frying tea, they need to bake the tea and then decoct it with fresh mountain spring water. When the water boils to "fisheye boiling", add a proper amount of salt to taste. When it boils, now scoop a ladle of water in the kettle, and then smash the ground tea powder into edema with bamboo pieces. Boil for three times and then add the water just scooped out. Stop boiling, the tea soup is ready. -"The Book of Tea"

In addition, this book also introduces in detail how to grow tea, how to make tea and how to drink tea. Since then, tea is completely different from other fruits and vegetables. It can be seen that soft writing is an important promotion weapon!

Ordering tea: the whole people's "glory of fighting tea"

Why is it top notch? Because the tea ordering method in Song Dynasty is already a legendary story. If the Tang Dynasty put the culture of drinking tea on the right track-Lu Yu's tea classics opened up the potential of drinking tea as a social art activity.

Therefore, ordering tea in the Song Dynasty is a prosperous time to start drinking tea socially. There are countless famous tea lovers in the Song Dynasty, and the first one is, of course, Song Huizong.

Occupation: Emperor

Sideline: Internet celebrities

Major 1: Yan Hao

Specialty 2: Good motor skills (polo, cuju)

Specialty 3: rich

Specialty 4: Beautiful calligraphy (thin gold body)

Specialty 5: Black Girl (not only in Li Shishi, but also the man with the most concubines in history).

Song Huizong was a national network celebrity in Song Dynasty, and the network celebrity product he fully recommended was tea! Not only do I give you a fan welfare (reward) every day, but I also write a long soft article recommendation ("Daguan Tea Theory"), and I also madly pull other online celebrity friends to hold group tweets (such as Su Shi and Wang Anshi). Most importantly! It also supports the tea contest with key points, which is comparable to the popularity of the national talent show now!

In the Song Dynasty, tea fighting, chess playing, calligraphy, guqin and other elegant activities were called one of the four elegant gentlemen.

Why is it an art? Mainly depends on the painting effect formed on the final tea soup. The master of the Song Dynasty can draw a beautiful picture on the tea soup when ordering tea, which has been lost now. Your biggest imagination about this probably comes from Korean coffee.

Making tea: a simple, simple way to make tea.

This way is very common, whether it's the emperor Ama in TV series or the second uncle who walks the birds on the roadside, he can give you a correct demonstration.

The popularity of this way of making tea is mainly due to the fact that loose tea became very popular after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In previous lives, whoever drank tea was introduced here. A leaf, which can detoxify and be used as a dish, is finally pushed to the altar by the ruling class, and finally becomes such a simple drink in your hand by cutting complexity.

Tea has a history of thousands of years in China. Do you like tea?
