Talk about the understanding of Chinese tea culture and the perception of Chinese tea culture

The connotation of Chinese tea culture is a specific expression, and tea culture must be combined with Chinese culture. China is known as the state of etiquette, and the spiritual connotation of tea culture is a cultural phenomenon with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics formed through the combination of habits such as making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, and tasting tea with Chinese cultural connotations, and it can also be said to be a phenomenon of etiquette. In ancient China, etiquette was used to determine relatives and alienation, to resolve suspicions, to distinguish between similarities and differences, and to distinguish between right and wrong.

In the long-term historical development, etiquette, as the moral norm and life norm of Chinese society, has played an important role in the cultivation of the spiritual quality of the Chinese nation. At the same time, with the change and development of society, rituals have been constantly given new contents, and some habits and forms of Chinese life have been integrated, forming various cultural phenomena with Chinese characteristics. For example, tea culture has gradually been formed by drinking tea and treating others, dining etiquette has developed into food culture, jade culture has been formed by playing jade and appreciating jade, and local folk culture has been formed by integrating with regional habits. Therefore, tea culture is a habit of making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, and tasting tea for a long time, which has gradually become a cultural phenomenon within the scope of Chinese culture.

Tea culture belongs to the category of Chinese culture, that is, it is a kind of artistic conception that is standardized in all details of tea tasting with etiquette, and pays attention to tea, tea, heat, tea utensils, environment, and the cultivation and emotions of drinkers.

Tea drinking began in China. Tea is brewed with boiling water, conforming to nature, drinking elegantly, seeking the inherent taste of tea, focusing on artistic conception, which is the characteristic of Chinese tea tasting. For the same quality of tea, if the water is different, the tea set is different, or the brewing technology is different, the brewed tea soup will have different effects.

Since ancient times, China has paid great attention to the brewing of tea and has accumulated rich experience. To make good tea, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of various types of tea, master the scientific brewing technology, so that the inherent quality of tea can be fully expressed.

Modern society relies on high technology and information to create more social wealth, material wealth will be more and more, and life will be more affluent. In the process of industrialization, some East Asian countries have absorbed the excellent science and technology and technological technology of the West, while the decadent cultural values and customs of the West have also corroded into society, and tendencies such as moral crisis, money worship, and extreme individualism have emerged. The experience of social development shows that modernization is not the only goal, and that a modern society needs a spiritual civilization that is compatible with it, and that it needs to tap the spiritual resources of excellent traditional culture.

The historical, contemporary cultural factors and rational factors of tea culture have played and are playing their own positive role in modern society.

The spread of tea culture after the reform and opening up shows that tea culture has the role of changing social improper consumption activities, creating spiritual civilization, and promoting social progress.

Fourth, it plays an obvious role in improving people's quality of life and enriching cultural life. Tea culture is knowledgeable, interesting and recreational, tasting famous tea, tea utensils, refreshments, tea customs, tea art, all give people a kind of beauty enjoyment;

The perception of Chinese tea culture is the culture of making and drinking tea in China. China is the homeland of tea, and the discovery and use of tea by Chinese is said to have begun in the Shennong era, to say the least, more than 4,700 years. Until now, the Han people still have the custom of using tea as a gift [1].

As a classical school of Chinese tea culture, Chaozhou Gongfu tea concentrates the essence of Chinese tea ceremony culture and has been selected as a national intangible cultural heritage as a representative of Chinese tea ceremony. [2] The sencha ceremony in Japan and the tea ceremony in Taiwan, China, are all based on Gongfu tea in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China. [3]

Chinese tea culture has a long history, broad and profound, including not only the material culture level, but also the profound spiritual civilization level. The tea scripture of Lu Yu, the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty, sounded the clarion call of Chinese tea culture in history.

Since then, the spirit of tea has permeated the court and society, penetrating into Chinese poetry, painting, calligraphy, religion, and medicine. For thousands of years, China has not only accumulated a large amount of material culture about tea planting and production, but also accumulated a rich spiritual culture about tea, which is China's unique tea culture and belongs to the category of cultural studies.

Chinese tea culture is that Chinese drink tea and pay attention to the word "taste". "Tea tasting" is not only to identify the advantages and disadvantages of tea, but also to carry the meaning of reverie and appreciation of tea drinking. Brewing a pot of strong tea in the midst of your busy schedule, choosing an elegant and quiet place, and pouring yourself a drink, you can eliminate fatigue, cleanse your troubles, and invigorate your spirits, or you can sip slowly to achieve the enjoyment of beauty, and sublimate the spiritual world to a noble artistic realm.

Chinese tea culture has a world reputation in tea art, and was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty to form the Japanese tea ceremony. Japan's sencha ceremony and Taiwan's tea ceremony are all ** Gongfu tea in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China. [3] Chaozhou Gongfu tea art is a national intangible cultural heritage, a unique traditional tea drinking custom in Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province, an important part of Chaoshan tea culture and Chaoshan tea ceremony, and the most representative one of Chinese tea art.

Tea culture is divided into the natural science of tea and the humanities of tea, which refers to the sum of the material and spiritual wealth related to tea created in the historical practice of human society. In a narrow sense, the humanities that focus on tea mainly refer to the spiritual and social functions of tea. Because the natural science of tea has formed an independent system, the tea culture that is often talked about now is biased towards the humanities.
