What are the "Four Treasures of Tea Room"? What tools are there for drinking tea?

The so-called "four treasures of tea room" are jade books (stone flavor), Chaoshan stoves, jars and Ou Ruochen. The influence on tea soup is mainly in two aspects. First, it is reflected in the contrast between the color of tea set and the color of tea soup. Lu Yu's Tea Classic praised celadon as "green tea", that is, porcelain tea sets can make tea soup green (the tea color was red at that time). With the development of tea-making technology and tea planting technology, the primary colors of tea are changing, and the colors of tea sets are also changing. The second is the influence of the material of tea set on the taste and aroma of tea soup. The material should be strong and durable, at least it should not damage the quality of tea. There are many kinds of tea sets in China, which are beautiful in appearance, practical and ornamental, and are favored by tea lovers in past dynasties. The use, maintenance, appreciation and collection of tea sets has become a specialized knowledge, which lasts forever. Yixing Zisha Pot and Jingdezhen Porcelain are widely used. The main tea set is the main appliance for making tea and drinking tea. The so-called "four treasures of tea room" are jade books (stone flavor), Chaoshan stoves, jars and Ou Ruochen. Yushu (Shiwei) is a pot for boiling water. It is an ochre thin porcelain flat pot with a water capacity of about 250 ml. The water boiled and the lid slammed, as if calling someone to make tea. This kind of pot is seldom used in modern times. Generally, teahouses use slightly larger teapots made in Yixing, mostly pumpkin-shaped or Dongpo-shaped teapots. And stainless steel pot, which uses electricity, can keep warm. Chaoshan stove is a stove for boiling water. Small and exquisite, can adjust the air volume, master the firepower, and use charcoal as fuel. This kind of furnace is also less used in modern times. There are often three kinds of boiling water utensils in the teahouse. It is also a small stove of purple sand, in which you can put a small solid alcohol lamp and boil water with a big teapot; One is the heat preservation electric heater, and the stainless steel pot is placed on the electric heating plate; The other is a magnetic induction boiler, and the glass pot is placed on the induction plate. Among these three utensils, the purple sand stove with purple sand pot is the most artistic, which conforms to the way of tea tasting. Chen Meng jar is a teapot for making tea. Yixing teapot, the smallest one is the most expensive. Chen Meng was a master pot maker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and his small pots were very famous. The size of the pot varies from person to person, usually a small pot below 300 ml. If you taste it, you can taste the teacup. It is a small white porcelain upturned cup, small and shallow, with a water capacity of about 10-20ml. Now the commonly used drinking cups (different from the scented cups) are white porcelain cups and purple sand cups. In addition to these four essential tea sets, many other auxiliary tea sets will be used in the brewing of oolong tea, such as tea boats and tea trays. Tea boats are disc-shaped and bowl-shaped, and there are teapots in them. When hot water is filled, they can be used to heat pots and hot cups, and can also be used to raise pots. Tea trays are used to put teapots and teacups. What is commonly used now is a combination of the two, that is, putting a tea tray with holes on a tea boat. This kind of tea tray is produced because of the complicated brewing process of oolong tea. From the beginning, the cup is hot, and then every time you brew, you need hot water to pour the pot. The double-deck tea boat can let the water flow to the lower level without polluting the desktop. Tea trays have different textures, such as purple sand and bamboo ware. Tea sea. An open teapot shaped like a handle. Because the brewing time of oolong tea is very particular, even a few seconds or even longer will greatly change the quality of tea soup. Therefore, even if the tea soup has just been out of the pot for more than ten seconds, the depth of the tea soup at the beginning and the end is very different. In order to avoid uneven shade, first pour all the tea soup into the sea of tea, and then divide the cups. At the same time, tea residue and tea powder can be precipitated. Nowadays, stainless steel filters are also commonly used, which are placed on the tea sea to let the tea soup flow into the tea sea from the filter and filter out the tea residue. Camellia sinensis Mostly hemispherical, made of porcelain or bamboo, with a mouth. They are used to hold dry tea, enjoy it and put it in the teapot. A good porcelain, tea, lotus flower itself is a handicraft. Smell the cup. Used to smell incense, slender, unique to oolong tea. Taiwan Province Province is mostly used for brewing oolong tea with high aroma. Matching with drinking cups, the texture is the same, and adding a saucer is a set of scented cups. Teaspoon. Most of them are bamboo, and now there is boxwood, one end of which is bent, which is used to throw tea leaves into the pot and take tea dregs out of the pot. In addition, there are auxiliary tea sets, such as teapots, tea clips, Chaze and tea ware. There are so many kinds that you don't have to use them when making tea.
