Between the rugged and steep mountains of Fujian Province in southeastern China, there is a new destination for tourists – a playground entirely on the theme of “teaâ€. The smiling waiters and grooms dressed as the ladies of the Song Dynasty or the Tibetan nomads, and the tourists who came to the hospital were nodded and nodded, and they were introduced to the tea-style "Disney", which is full of oriental flavors, and led to antiques. Between the pavilions and pavilions. These graceful pavilions are dotted around the rockery and the pond, surrounded by exquisite stone lanterns and simulated plastic tea trees.
The location of Tianfu Tea Museum is the hometown of Zhongming Oolong Tea. The museum is only an hour's drive from the nearest airport. Since the museum opened last year, thousands of tourists have come from far away.
Guo Zuchun, an engineer who drove from nearby Guangdong Province for 6 hours, said: "I brought my 11-year-old son here. The purpose is to let the children know more about China's cultural heritage. At the time, no one taught me this."
Indeed, more and more Chinese people are beginning to realize that tea is the most classic and most time-honored Chinese drink.
According to legend, the earliest discovery of tea was purely coincidental. 5,000 years ago, when a Chinese king drank water under a tea tree, he happened to have tea leaves falling into his cup. Since then, tea – this fragrant and healthy drink has been brought to the world, all over the world. The "tea" in Chinese has become "Chai" in the Arab world, "Chay" in Russian, and "Tea" in English-speaking countries.
Mixing the dried tea with the hot boiled water to make the slightly bitter tea is a feature of Chinese tea culture. This way of making tea is as typical as the Chinese using chopsticks or Chinese characters. Once upon a time, tea was just a special drink for the Chinese feudal dynasty emperor or the sage of the people, and there were often a number of complicated etiquette procedures before drinking tea.
However, in contemporary China, tea seems to have been cold. In the 1960s, the hot-headed rebels destroyed the priceless ancient tea set as a symbol of the unbearable national history. Later, with the evolution of reform and opening up, Chinese urban youth began to accept and fell in love with Western-style drinks.
In recent years, the favor of tea has begun to regain its vitality, and the market share of tea and tea beverage consumption is also growing.
In Shanghai, China's wealthiest city, per capita tea consumption has quadrupled since 1992; in the same period, Shanghai's teahouses and water bars for tea drinks have increased from the initial three to more than 3,000. In contrast, the city's Starbucks added up to only 25.
The rapid growth of the tea market mainly occurred after 1998. With the increase of China's per capita income and the country's overall national strength, people's sense of historical heavyness began to decline, and confidence in traditional culture increased.
In this regard, Liu Qigui, dean of the Shanghai Tea Institute, said, “People are becoming more and more enthusiastic about their national traditions, so they have a strong interest in tea again.â€
Many newly opened teahouses attract young customers with popular music, free chocolate or strawberry herbal tea. The sweet, pearl milk tea sucked with a special straw has become one of the favorite drinks for young people.
There are also some teahouses that maintain the traditional tea culture style, and retro is the place to buy.
In one of Shanghai's most fashionable locations, people can enter the lobby of the Yun Yun Teahouse through the foyer decorated with swaying paper lanterns and delicate bamboo. After entering the door, visitors will see a wooden sculpture of the Tang Dynasty poet, known as the "tea holy" Lu You. Inside the teahouse, all the furniture is a wooden antique style of deep sandalwood, and the traditional folk music is constantly flowing.
“The Chinese now drink both coffee and coffee,†said Tao Yuan, 39, the president of a computer company, who used a small teapot to sip a cup of oolong tea. “It’s better to drink coffee in the office, but when you want to chat or think about something, tea is the best.â€
Another factor contributing to the renewed popularity of tea is related to traditional Chinese medicine.
Tao Yuan especially loves oolong tea, a color brown, slightly bitter, tea that is said to be able to consume fat and achieve weight loss. From Green Dragon Well, favored by Chinese President Jiang Zemin, to Babao Tea, which has a sweet taste, there are more than 1,000 kinds of tea and one of the oolong teas in China.
China's tea shop puts a variety of teas in large glass bottles for people to appreciate the aroma, texture and color of the fragrant tea.
Many visitors to the Tianfu Tea Museum in Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province are very interested in the hard process of making tea and a long history.
Li Shuzhen, research director of the museum, said: "We hope to learn as much as possible about the past of Chinese tea culture."
In the corner of the tea theme park, there is a large tea museum in China with a huge teapot for the surrounding tea cups.
The museum displays how the freshly picked fresh tea leaves are exposed to dry sunlight, fermented on bamboo plates, and baked in a furnace.
Museum staff dressed in silk blouses and mostly vintage haircuts perform complex tea ceremony etiquette for visitors, including tea, tea and tea. The tea art presented here originated from the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century AD. At that time, the Chinese emperors liked the golden tea dish, and the tea was even used as a currency to be awarded to the subordinate provinces.
Tea has been an integral part of Chinese life for thousands of years. People love to drink tea, rich and poor. Nowadays, the emerging teahouse business is booming, but it is difficult to hire skilled workers to make good tea for the guests, let alone to serve in a traditional way.
Three years ago, the Shanghai Tea Academy began training courses on Chinese tea culture and tea ceremony. The course is divided into three levels. The students learn the history of tea culture at different levels, how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of tea, and when to use what kind of blisters.
So far, no one has received the highest level of completion certificate issued by the college. To achieve this distinction, you must be able to distinguish between 1000 Chinese teas, present a perfect tea ceremony, play a guzheng, and speak a fluent foreign language to serve foreign guests.
However, as more and more Chinese young people become interested in the country's tea culture, more than 200 students have applied for 50 half-year high-level tea ceremony training places during this semester.
All this, as the president of the college Liu said: "The 20th century is the century of the United States, the century of coffee; and the 21st century is the century of China, the century of tea."
