What do you want to say about the etiquette culture of tea?

For the etiquette culture of tea, you can refer to "A Dream of Red Mansions". Because there are many descriptions about tea in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the paper is soaked with the fragrance of tea.

Drinking tea runs through the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", so the etiquette, culture, and rules of drinking tea are also permeated between the lines. To sum up, there are the following points. 1. The posture of drinking tea.

When drinking tureen tea, sit upright, do not stretch your head and mouth forward, and do not lower your head. You cannot remove the top lid, nor blow the floating tea leaves with your mouth. Instead, pick up the tea bowl tray with your left hand, grab the lid with your right hand, and gently "scrape" it a few times. Its function is to decant away the floating tea leaves. etc. Tilt the tea lid, bring it to your mouth, and then inhale the tea soup without making any sound. You cannot pick up the tea cup and swallow it continuously, nor can you breathe into the tea bowl and drink slowly. One bitter, two sweet and three aftertaste, its wonderful taste lies in the meaning but cannot be expressed in words.

The covered bowl is also called the Sancai Bowl. The cover is a metaphor for heaven, the bowl is a metaphor for people, and the bowl is a metaphor for the earth. So of course the right time, right place and right people must be grasped.

There is a scene of drinking tea in the 1987 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". The posture of drinking tea during the Spring Festival is like a textbook. She picked up the tea bowl tray with her left hand, grabbed the lid with her right hand, "scraped" it gently a few times, and skimmed off the floating tea with the lid. She moved slowly and calmly, making her look graceful and luxurious.

When Daiyu drank tea, she did not use the lid to float the tea, but just used the lid to press the rim of the bowl to drink tea. Why did Daiyu omit this link?

This is another etiquette of using a tureen: skimming tea when a guest is a hint that the host's tea is not good. Daiyu entered Rongguo Mansion for the first time and was a guest, so she omitted this action. 2. Pour tea appropriately.

There is a saying in the Northeast that "the wine should be full and the tea should be light." This sentence means that when pouring wine to guests, the cup should be filled to the fullest. When pouring tea, the cup should be poured shallowly and not full. Shallowness and fullness are relative, and shallowness also has a certain degree of propriety. "Pour the tea only 70% full, leaving 30% is a favor." This kind of "seven full" light tea means that the other party expresses respect. 3. How much tea should you drink?

Miaoyu gave the best explanation for the amount of tea she drank. She took out a big sea tea cup and asked Baoyu if he could eat it. Baoyu said: "You can eat it."

Miaoyu said with a smile: "Although you can eat it, you won't waste it with this tea. Don't you think that one cup is a taste, two cups is a thirst-quenching fool, and three cups are a thirst-quenching thing. A cup is like drinking an ox or a mule. What will you do if you eat this sea?”

Nobles only drink one cup of tea, and they cannot gobble it up.

If you drink tea from a big bowl, you will be laughed at. Grandma Liu drank half the cup of tea given to her by Mother Jia in one gulp, and everyone laughed. 4. The order of drinking tea.

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", the first cup of tea after a meal in the Jia family is mouthwash tea and cannot be drunk. The second cup of tea is the tea to drink. If you drink the first cup of tea, you will be laughed at. 5. When a guest comes to the house, the host offers wine instead of tea.

When serving tea to guests, use a tray to hold the teacup. When Miaoyu served tea to Jia Mu, "Miaoyu personally brought a small tea tray with begonia style carved lacquer and filled with gold to express the longevity of clouds and dragons. In it was a small kiln multicolored covered bell and held it to Jia Mu." When Xi Ren offered tea to Daiyu , "Holding a small linked lacquered tea tray in his hand, which can hold two cups of new tea." When serving tea to guests, you must use a tray.

In modern times, the host personally serves tea to the guests. In ancient times, it was the maids who served tea to the guests. When offering tea, serve it with your right hand from the right side of the guest and with a smile. Tea snacks should be placed in front of the guest, and the tea cup should be placed to the right of the snacks. ?

The guest takes the tea with both hands and nods in thanks. After drinking the tea, the guest should appropriately praise the host for the good tea.

Drinking wine is different from drinking tea. If the host advises the guests to drink, it means they are warm and hospitable; if the host advises the guests to drink tea, it means the host does not like the guests and wants to see them off.

When a guest comes, after pouring the tea, the guest can drink the tea by himself. If the host picks up the tea bowl and says "please tea", it is an order to expel the guest. This is called "bringing tea to see off the guest". 6. Water for making tea.

Water is the carrier of tea. The pleasure produced when drinking tea and the endless aftertaste of thoughts must be realized through water. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dafu wrote in "Plum Blossom Cottage Bi Tan": The nature of tea must be produced in water. If eight-tenths of tea is mixed with ten-thousands of water, the tea will be ten-tenths; if eight-tenths of water is used, ten-tenths of tea will be the same, and the tea will be only eight-tenths of the total.

Lu Yu's principles for drinking tea in the "Tea Classic" are: above mountains, rivers, and wells, choose those with overflowing milk springs or stone ponds. The ancients also summed up the best combinations of tea and water such as "Longjing tea, Hupao water", "Yangtze River heart water, Mengshan top tea".

The water Miaoyu uses to drink tea is rainwater and snow water from plum blossoms. "Lenglu Miscellaneous Knowledge" records that Emperor Qianlong "Whenever there is good snow, he will collect it and cook tea with pine nuts, plum blossoms and bergamot, which is called Sanqing. He tasted it in Chonghua Palace, gathered court officials and inner court officials, etc., and wrote a couplet of poems about Sanqing tea." It can be seen that making tea with snow water is a relatively elegant thing in the eyes of literati. It was also the custom of big families in the old days to drink tea with literati.

In addition to using snow water to make tea, ancient people also used rainwater to make tea. In autumn rain, the sky is high and the air is crisp, there is less dust in the air, and the water smells "clear", making it the best rainwater.

The water for cooking and making tea also includes spring water, stream water, river water, lake water, and well water. Only water that meets the five criteria of "origin, vitality, sweetness, clearness, and lightness" can be regarded as good water.

With the development of tea drinking today, it is no longer just drinking tea, but tea ceremony, tea art, and a culture.
