What is the main purpose of the tea party?

Tea party is mainly a gathering of old China businessmen trading in teahouses, which is popular in the Yangtze River valley, especially in Shanghai.

At that time, businessmen from all walks of life will take the agreed teahouse as the meeting place, and exchange markets and transactions while drinking tea. Tea talk is drinking tea.

Tea party is also a fashion gathering in modern society. It is neither as grand and exquisite as the ancient tea banquets and tea parties, nor as strict as the "tea ceremony" in China. Instead, tea or refreshments (including fruits and cakes) are used to entertain guests at parties, and sometimes used in diplomatic occasions.

Tea party form:

The form of tea party varies with the content and personnel. If the number of participants is small, use round tables: dozens or even hundreds of people, each table is about 10, or use square tables to make rectangles or other forms; Large-scale tea parties with hundreds or thousands of people often adopt round tables and sit together in groups of three or five. As for tea party drinks, fragrant tea is a must, and fresh fruits, cakes and various sweets can be added if conditions permit.

The arrangement of the tea party can be different according to the content and season of the party, and some flowers can be arranged at the dinner or indoors. For example, in summer, jasmine with bright green leaves and white flowers is very suitable, which makes people feel quiet and elegant. For example, in winter, it is advisable to use the rich wintersweet and narcissus to make people feel the breath of spring.

If it is a wedding tea party, it is best to use red flowers to express the happiness and happiness of the newlyweds. Of course, due to the limitation of conditions, the choice of flower seeds will also be limited, but no matter what kind of flower seeds are chosen, the choice of color should be coordinated with the content of the meeting. At a large-scale tea party, if it is accompanied by light music or sketches, cross talk and other small literary programs, it can be invited to add a happy atmosphere.
