Hold the teacup in your left hand and the teapot in your right hand to pour the tea, then give it out to someone else with your left hand. In traditional Chinese culture, the left side is more respectful than the right, and the left hand is more respectful than the right hand. For example, the left side of the table is the top, the left side is more respectful than the right side, and the guests on the left hand side of the host are more important than the guests on the right hand side.

Therefore, pouring tea, the right hand pours the water into the cup in the left hand, and the left hand sends it out, one is convenient, and the other is respect. If it is more formal, after pouring the tea, put the teapot down with the right hand, and then change to the cup with the right hand, but also gently support the bottom of the cup with the left hand, or the left hand is slightly closed and leans lightly behind the right wrist, and the teacup is sent out, and the tea is served with both hands to show respect.

Liu Baorui, a master of stand-up comedy, has a cross talk, saying that an uneducated county official went to meet his boss, Lord Futai.

Later, I learned that this was a kind of etiquette, holding up the tea bowl to express the meaning of sending off the guests, and the county official, as a visitor, served the tea bowl by mistake, did he want to drive the host away?

Of course, modern people don't have to stick to these red tapes when drinking tea, but if you know some common sense of tea ceremony etiquette, it is also very helpful for personal socialization.

1. Etiquette of the host.

1.The timing of the tea party is delicate. A tea party takes 2 hours as the degree, and if it drags on for more than 2 hours, it is easy to delay other people's affairs.

2.I am also very particular about the use of props when drinking tea. Tea is usually arranged after the middle of the tea is drunk, and tea towels are served to clean hands and mouth. After eating greasy food, drink a glass of water to clean your mouth, wipe your hands and wipe your mouth before drinking tea.

3.The order in which the tea is served shows the cultivation of the owner. Serving tea is also serving tea, generally in accordance with the principle of the elder and youngest, the principle of first meeting and first serving, and serving tea in turn.

2. Guest etiquette.

Guests can be relatively casual, as long as they pay attention to the host pouring tea, hold the cup or hold the cup to express their gratitude, and never worry about chatting on their own.

Pour the tea evenly.

Think about it first, when you pour the tea, do you pick up the teapot and pour the first cup first, then the second cup, the third cup...This seems to be a reasonable and orderly pouring, but it ignores one point: the longer the tea is steeped, the stronger it becomes. Therefore, the tea soup poured out in this way will be uneven, the tea soup in the front cup is lighter, and the back is stronger, if you taste tea together, the taste of the tea is different for everyone to drink, and it is difficult to comment on whether it is good or bad.

So how do you pour the tea evenly? The correct way to pour tea is to "patrol the river", first lining up the teacups and then pouring them back and forth like a sentry patrolling. There is another simple way to pour tea is to pour the tea soup in the teapot directly into the tea sea (fair cup) at one time, and then pour out the first cup, the second cup in turn...

The spout should not be too high when pouring tea.

Some people think that it is very cool to hold the teapot high and fill it with water when pouring tea, but in fact, this is only suitable for individual teas, and it also requires certain skills. After all, we are not holding a long-spouted pot, nor are we doing the eighteen kinds of martial arts of pouring tea from a long-spouted pot, so pouring tea will not only make the tea soup splash to the guests and cause rudeness, but also lose the aroma of tea. So how do you pour the tea?

The correct way to pour tea is to pour it low, and if the spout is lowered a little bit, it will look very handsome if the technique is smooth and neat.

Pour tea can not be full.

When you drink wine, you have to pour it full, but when you drink tea, you have to fill it up? Of course not! "Wine is full of respect, tea is full of deception.

How do you pour the tea? When drinking tea on a formal occasion, the correct way to pour tea is to pour it only seven points full. It's not because the tea is too precious, or because the owner is too stingy.

It's because tea is different from wine, wine is cold, tea is hot, and tea is poured full and easy to burn, or overflow, making the tea table wet, and it may break the cup if you are not careful. Therefore, it is said that the tea is poured seven points full, leaving three points for favors, and only seven points full is a sign of respect for the guests.

Finish pouring the teapot and place it.

After pouring the tea, the teapot can not be placed at will, and it is very rude to open the spout to the guest as if you open your mouth to the guest. Therefore, it is usually placed at a 45° angle at the spout at hand, so that the spout is not facing the customer.

After understanding the correct way to pour tea and knowing how to pour tea, do you feel that pouring tea is not as light as it seems, but don't feel very irritable. If you don't have this patience when drinking tea, then you have to drink tea, these etiquettes are not formalized things, but have both practicality, artistry, and etiquette. Therefore, in ancient times, Zen and enlightenment were inseparable from tea, and they honed their patience from the complicated and small tea making etiquette, and understood the great truth of life in a cup of tea.

On the right hand side of the guest (most people use their right hand to make great efforts), after pouring it, place it in the upper right position of his right hand, try not to affect his right hand movement, and can easily reach the cup.

Only pour seven points full of tea, and leave three points for each is a favor. This is the number of tea drinking rituals left by the ancients, which should be paid attention to when pouring tea for guests. Tea is the big husband in the wood, high and low, rich and poor, very friendly, but if you have the opportunity, with a good mood, make a good cup of tea with a good tea set, and really enjoy it - I am also from Hebei, and now the south is open to plant tea.

Tea, what a good thing.
