321. Tea Culture
Especially for those of us who do this, we need to have a good relationship with others, only if the relationship is good, we can have more business and contacts, which is of great help to the next career!
This is also why many successful people have a rich nightlife, because they are busy with work during the day and socializing at night, and many big orders are signed at the wine table, which is not false at all.
But I'm really not good at drinking, this cigarette should still be accepted, Qu Yanyun is naturally a reasonable woman, so when she is in front of people, she will never be too difficult, but will give me face.
But in private, she is absolutely not allowed to smoke!
Seeing me swallowing clouds and spitting fog here this time, Qu Yanyun put away all the cigarettes, and after getting up, she asked me directly: "Didn't you already promise me at that time?" When you are alone, you resolutely don't smoke, is there something annoying happening? If you have something to worry about, you can tell me about it, don't hold it in your heart alone. ”
When Qu Yanyun said this, she didn't have too much reprimand, but more tenderness.
Looking at her in front of me, I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, no one is hard-hearted, and I naturally understand Qu Yanyun's dedication to me.
But there are some things that really can't be said, I can't say what Teacher Huang said to me now, saying that I can't promise him, I have to refuse the girl in front of me, isn't this too cruel for Qu Yanyun, so it's better not to say some things.
So I had to smile and shake my head, Qu Yanyun didn't want to say anything she had seen, so she had to sigh faintly, and at the same time took all the cigarettes away, leaving me alone in this corridor in a daze.
Two days passed quickly, and finally it was time to go to that tea party.
During these two days, I also learned a little about the tea ceremony.
Tea leaves, if in the eyes of laymen, are just some leaves, after soaking in water, there will be some taste, but in the eyes of insiders there is a deep doorway, no ten years and eight years can not enter the door, especially some tea-making utensils and etiquette, but also has a deep knowledge.
There is a long record of tea drinking in Chinese history, and it is impossible to find out exactly what age it was, but there is a theory about the approximate era. And evidence can also be found that the habit of drinking tea in many parts of the world was indeed transmitted from China. Therefore, many people think that tea drinking was pioneered by the Chinese, and the tea drinking habits and tea planting habits in other parts of the world are directly or indirectly transmitted from China.
But there are also people who can find evidence that the habit of drinking tea was not only invented by Chinese, but also invented in some other parts of the world, such as India and Africa.
But in China, there are records of wild tea trees a long time ago, which are concentrated in the southwest of China, and it is recorded: "Tea tree is a very ancient dicot plant, which is closely related to people's lives!"
The origin of Chinese tea drinking is disputed: tracing the origin of tea drinking by Chinese, some believe that it originated in ancient times, some believe that it began in Zhou, and there are also claims that it originated in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty, and the main reason for the divergence of opinions is that there was no "tea" character before the Tang Dynasty, but only the record of the word "Tu", until Lu Yu, the author of the Tea Sutra, wrote the word "tea" by subtracting one painting, so there is a saying that tea originated in the Tang Dynasty. Others are still said to have originated in Shennong and in the Qin and Han dynasties.
Tang Dynasty. Lu Yu's "Book of Tea": "Tea is drinking, and it comes from Shennong's." In the history of China's cultural development, the origin of everything related to agriculture and plants is often attributed to Shennong. The theory that Chinese tea drinking originated in Shennong has also derived different views due to folklore. Some people think that tea is Shennong in the wild kettle pot boiling water, just a few leaves floated into the pot, boiled water, its color is slightly yellow, drink in the mouth to quench thirst, refresh the mind, to Shennong's past experience of tasting herbs, judge it is a medicine and discovered, this is the most common statement about the origin of Chinese tea drinking.
But there are several different theories about how tea was discovered.
1. Sacrifice theory: This theory believes that tea and some other plants were first used as sacrifices, and later some people tasted and found that the food was harmless, so "from the sacrifice, and the vegetable food, and medicine", and finally became a drink;
2. Drug Theory: This statement holds that tea "originally entered human society as a medicinal use". "Shennong's Materia Medica" wrote: "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons a day, and got tea to solve them";
3. Food said: "The ancients drank water from grass", "The people took food as the sky", and food first conformed to the evolutionary law of human society;
However, in the earliest records, tea was not drunk normally as we do now, but was picky or mashed, mixed with other medicines, as a kind of medicine.
Tea was originally a medicine, but it gradually evolved into a drink that ordinary people could afford.
In the past few days, under the leadership of a special person, I have made up a lot of knowledge about tea, for example, Shandong people like to drink big bowls of tea.
As for why Shandong people like to drink a big bowl of tea, it is because Shandong was also very hot in ancient times, at that time there were many porters, often working outside against the scorching heat, when particularly tired, they would go to some nearby teahouses to drink a big bowl of tea, the quality of these teas is very general, but it is very thirst-quenching, which is also in line with some characteristics of Shandong people, bold and righteous, informal.
And Beijingers like to drink the kind of tea that is full of dregs, and they will spit out two sips of tea dregs after drinking.
In Guangdong and Fujian, people like kung fu tea more, which has a great relationship with the personality of the people there.
Basically, the tea culture of every place reflects the local folk customs and the basic character of the common people.
Just the day before, Mr. Huang took me to see a tea fight.
I've never heard of the term "tea fighting" before because I don't pay much attention to tea either.
But when I followed Mr. Huang to see the tea fight yesterday, it seemed to open the door to a new world.
There will be some fighting in every industry, so these tea tasting will naturally have another set of argumentative methods, but their method of arguing seems to be far more elegant than those martial arts, neither need to see blood, nor do they need to consume physical strength.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not just invented now, and when those literati and ink scholars in ancient times got together, they were even more happy to do it.
