What are the tea drinking methods in different dynasties?

1. Tea drinking before the Tang Dynasty belongs to the pan-frying era, and it is a way to either use medicine or quench thirst. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was fine-frying and slow-drinking, and even formed the art of drinking tea for thousands of years.

2. In the Song Dynasty, the quality-oriented Tang Dynasty fried tea developed into a "tea fight", reaching a higher artistic stage of tea tasting. In the Song Dynasty, when fighting tea, the cake tea was first smashed into small pieces, ground into fine powder, then put into scalded teacups, and then boiled water was injected to make tea cream. Then use a special tea basket (a tool shaped like a broom) to stir the tea soup while rotating the cup, so that the tea soup flowers appear in the cup, and compare the color, fragrance and taste of the tea soup. Finally, taste the soup flower, and the one with good taste wins. It is based on "fighting tea" to compete for the quality of tea, the color, fragrance and taste of tea soup, and the tea art and tea art of tea fighting people. In Song Dynasty, Beiyuan in Fujian was an important tea-producing area in ancient times. Beiyuan tea is of excellent quality and has been listed as tribute tea since the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from the folk tea making, the "Dragon and Phoenix Model" was specially set up, and the dragon and phoenix were used to make group tea, which was the famous "Dragon and Phoenix Cake" in history. Its color, fragrance and taste are top-notch, making it famous all over the world.

At that time, "Long Tuan" was a famous tribute tea in Song Dynasty. The founder of "Dalongtuan" is Ding Wei Song Dynasty, a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Steamed buns cost 20 yuan a catty, which was initiated by Cai Xiang and Fujian Xianyou. Both of them were created when Fujian overseers made tribute tea. Doucha, which originated in Jian 'an area of Fujian, can not only give people material enjoyment, but also give people spiritual pleasure because of its strong skill and interest. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the method of making tea in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province also began to take shape, changing steaming into frying and grinding into kneading, and grinding paste-group tea into strip-shaped loose tea, which changed the appearance and quality of tea and laid the foundation for the production of green tea in China.

4. In the Yuan Dynasty, fresh leaves were put into a pot to make whole-leaf loose tea, which was called "steamed green loose tea".

5. In Ming Dynasty, the same method of making green tea as today finally appeared-fried green method. The method of tea tasting has also changed from frying to boiling water, which has become a major turning point in the history of tea drinking, thus opening the schools of tea drinking in past dynasties. "Take the essence of the bud, suck the spring in the tripod and drink it all at once", which has been passed down from generation to generation. At that time, green tea processed by frying method has become the main drinking object of people, and scented tea has gradually taken root in people's hearts. There are hundreds of works about drinking tea in Ming Dynasty.

6. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many teahouses in the countryside, and tea drinking was popular in the Ming Dynasty. Tea became a treasure, popular among officialdom literati, and a large number of famous teas were born in time. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, semi-fermented oolong tea and fermented black tea were invented one after another, white tea appeared, and the traditional pressed tea was further developed, thus forming six kinds of tea structures in China-green, red, flower, white, oolong tea and pressed tea.

7. In the Qing Dynasty, guests came to offer tea for business or private entertainment. Sending guests off with tea has become a specific etiquette and ostentation. Teahouses in Guang Chuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places combine snacks with live performances by rap artists such as storytelling and pingtan, and develop into popular trading, communication and entertainment places with unique local characteristics, strong local flavor and civilian flavor. At the end of the Qing dynasty, there were a group of down-and-out banners, who still drank tea to decorate the facade and show off their wealth in front of people. The literati, on the other hand, dissolved into the "cold night guests come to tea for wine, and the bamboo stove soup is more red and boiling at first." As usual, the window is bright and clean, as long as there are plum blossoms, it will be different.
