Three things you can’t skip when drinking tea (Three ways to drink tea)

When drinking tea, the first thing not to omit is “enjoy the tea”.
From the perspective of the tea brewer, he depends on the information obtained from the tea viewer to decide what material pot to use, what temperature of water to use, what proportion of tea water to use (that is, the amount of tea), and what soaking time to use.
From the perspective of tea drinkers, we know the degree of fermentation, kneading, aging, roasting, piling and aging of tea from tea tasting. When drinking tea soup, we will have a deeper understanding of tea (recommended reading: Ceylon tea, learn tea knowledge, please pay attention to: www.lhecha.coM) soup.
Therefore, it is best to look at the tea leaves before making it yourself or anyone else. Use the tea lotus to hold about a pot of tea, each tea and tea tasting person appreciate one by one, then do not touch the tea, if you want to smell the tea, do not breathe next to the tea.
Looking at tea leaves before making tea, why should it be called “appreciating tea”?
In order to avoid turning “looking at tea leaves” into “examining tea leaves”, the next viewing color, smell, taste, and look at the bottom of the leaves are all with the atmosphere of “evaluating tea”.
In addition to tea making, review, and procurement, tea is appreciated and enjoyed, otherwise why bother spending money to buy tea but also to diagnose it all the way?
In the tea brewing stage, we will be called “tea”, because the tea maker must see the various conditions of the tea at this time, in order to decide what means to take tea.
However, the next tea drinker will look at tea with an attitude of “appreciation” and engage in the preparation before drinking tea, which is called “tea appreciation”.
The second item that should not be omitted from drinking tea is to look at the leaf base, that is, to appreciate the tea leaves that have been soaked.
At this time, the tea has been sufficiently infiltrated, if not completely stretched, it is enough to see the true face of the tea after being made. If the fire is not too heavy, the pile is too sufficient, resulting in the carbonization of the tea, after a long soak still can not stretch open, otherwise the tea after brewing is always spread out for everyone to watch.
At this time, tea brewers and tea drinkers can see clearly from the bottom of the stretched leaves the degree of fermentation, rolling, roasting, piling, aging, the characteristics of the variety, the condition of the tea green being picked, the degree of damage between packaging and transportation, and even the quality of brewing technology can be displayed.
The project of “leaf appreciation” is not fully applied in the tea ceremony industry, after brewing tea, everyone feels that they have drunk tea, and if the tea residue is thrown into the trash can at this time, the tea is really not a bit of love.
“Leaf appreciation” on the one hand, tea makers and tea drinkers can understand the past and present life of tea from the unfolded leaf bottom, which is a major way to recognize tea and appreciate tea; On the other hand, tea has contributed to the soul of life, and those who drink tea should be cherished and thanked.
After admiring the bottom of the leaf, pour it into the dregs, and when the tea party is over, pour it over the earth to restore it to the basic elements of the earth.
The third item that should not be omitted from drinking tea is “tea food”.
Tea is a small food dotted with tea, not the meaning of drinking tea and sunflower seeds, nor the meaning of drinking tea and eating snacks, but after drinking tea for a while, to change the taste of the mouth, but also to adjust the mood.
Under such a plan, the tea should be small, a mouthful is good, do not chew for a long time, but also spit slag, but also stick to the teeth, but to be delicate, not to rob the aroma and taste of the tea.
After eating the tea, clean up the utensils and restore the appearance of the original tea. Tea tasting in front of only teacup, paper and pen, knife and fork, face paper and other sundry can not be placed on the tea mat, otherwise after drinking tea, the cup of Wolf, do not know is in tea or eating.
Since it is called tea, it should be based on drinking tea, eating tea is just an ornament, just a rest, and then continue to be the main theme of tea.
Some opinions are that tea does not eat tea, emphasizing not to interfere with the appreciation of tea, emphasizing pure tea. Therefore, the tea ceremony industry rarely talks about how to apply tea to the tea table, and therefore tea is not formal enough when it is applied, and it does not have its own rules, but tea often plays an embellishment and humorous effect in the process of drinking tea, and can also give taste and smell a rest.

What are the main ideas of Zen tea culture (The relationship between tea culture and Zen culture)

Zen masters believe that the normal mind is the way, the way in nature, far water to carry firewood are wonderful way.

Went over the wall yesterday… Illusion of love

The song “Love Illusion” sings about the sensitivity of love, accidental encounters, unrequited love and a cognitive and emotional failure of love psychology. The lyric part is like stepping on a light dance step aside from all worries, with a soulful song

Take you and me to release the depression, helplessness and sorrow in my heart!
Look out the window at the world
Bustling night
A solitary figure swaying in the air with the wind
The autumn wind is cold and cold
Snow and wind were flying all over the sky
Because you came and broke everything
The moon waxes and wanes
By the tired night
People come and go in desperate pursuit of the unknown
Walking through the old streets
Feel so strong
You will return with me to a time of memory
My love doesn’t understand
What world are you in
If you didn’t say no, why not say goodbye
If I had been firmer
I never ignore you
A little more consideration if love will end
illusion
rap:
I look at your world
An ethereal nothingness
Watching the flowers bloom and fall in your world
Chasing you flying with you so heartbroken flying with you
Love is so sweet and so ambiguous
In an instant, the flowers have faded and the ashes have flown
lai yu fu zi mei who love
Fall in love with line you don’t care to follow you don’t regret
Love is mine, mine, mine, so in the speed measurement
That line in the lyrics: “lai yu fu zi mei”
Said is: “in the wind and rain flying tears” meaning
It’s so sad…
I like singing this song
Worry about yourself first… You have other people to worry about… Hey hey
Hate to get married?
Heart melody
Faint sadness
No more – dripping blood
No longer — quite so
Brother, see you strange sad, I want to apologize to you, the other day I said a little heavy, but it is also rushed words. Rose whether she is right or wrong, first of all, she is a woman, and people go to her door at every turn, and say things that are so ugly

It always makes me feel that when I am unhappy, I will go to someone with low reputation to scold for a while. I’m a little bit 2, I don’t like to talk, hope to understand
Handsome boy, help you top the ^_^
On the way to the river, I saw a wall, such as the imagined primitive forest inside the wall, trees, weeds, streams, the wall is surrounded by white iron railings, walk along the wall for a long time and see no entrance, then go over the wall and enter, playing not a game. Turned around and came out

A gate, the door sister said how you get in, you have to buy a ticket. We said we didn’t know. We came in when no one was there. Big sister said, we have been here, why did not see you come in. Wayan was very puzzled. Well, it’s hard to say

It is over the wall to come in, come out to see the original is the river and sea scenery park, people come to less are abandoned. Now it seems to be assigned to a school, which has become an educational base.
That’s amazing.
They take money from everywhere.
The park has become a revenue base.
Wondering. Where did all the taxpayer money go?
doughty

top

Nowadays, the society calls tourist attractions

It’s just a place where someone gets their money
In fact, I like some primitive places, without carving, all things grow freely.
It gets worse. Sorry to write it, hehe
That’s amazing. What a high wall. How’d you get over it? Turn over the feeling of accomplishment, ha ha, turn over well!
Oh, so impressive.

I almost jumped over the wall the other morning and found out the park gate was open
The wall is not high. If you open it, you can see the picture of me climbing over the wall. Haha.
I don’t want to, it’s just the scenery is so attractive.
We go to places that don’t charge admission
I thought you found the beautiful man… Ho ho
I thought I was going over the wall to see foreign websites, is there a handsome man in the park so I went over the wall?
See, let people to capture the evidence left ha, ha ha, do not add the original taste in the city is really difficult to see now, no wonder to attract you to take risks, have not seen a wild animal, such as pheasant hare? Wakami

To a wild Wolf fox this adventure is more vivid can write a primitive forest adventure record
Nice try
No, I’m ashamed. If the handsome guy was there, I’d do it again.
Unfortunately, writing is not good, empty full of enthusiasm, can not be used to share with you.
Modest, write not good also write, I am not a literati, no need to decorate with gorgeous words, like this real, what is more wonderful, Tao to listen to, look forward to.
Ha-ha. Thought you went to the pretty boy’s house.
It’s a new age woman
There is a saying that
Get over the fence
Have fought the hooligans
Well, write it next time when it’s fun.

Tasteless taste

Gideon: The most ordinary things in life, as small as bottles, cups, spoons, etc., have been mass-produced and become unimportant, and this tacit acceptance of banality is becoming part of human nature today.
Unfortunately, most people lack awareness and vigilance.
It is also strange to say that the Japanese ancient artifacts favored by the Chinese people at present are also an “anti-/ movement” of the Japanese tea saint Chirikyu, who is also well-known to us, from the pure worship of the Tang objects to the aesthetic of wabi-sabi and things.
The happy tea bowl made by ancient Korean artisans is a model of this kind. The Tenmu Tea bowl, which originated in the Song Dynasty and is still in Japan, is also a good example.
When we first looked at Tianmu, we always felt coarse, thick glaze, not only heavy in our hands, but also could not see clearly the color of the soup. So since the Song Dynasty, it gradually lost in China.
But it is from this Tianmu tea that Japan began to give birth to the self-confidence of “harmony aesthetics” from “Tang things are omnipotent”.
In modern Japan (random recommendation, phoenix brand Dianchun, learn tea knowledge please pay attention to: www.lhecha.CoM), Liu Zongyue of the folk arts also quite complained about thousands of Lixiu, for the time people praised him as “thousands of Lixiu”, extremely angry.
He believed that Qian Lixiu catered to the daimyo of the time, built gold teahouses, and respected the name of tea ware, which had departed from the “Tao”. Does that make us weird?
At the beginning of contact with Japanese tea ware, it is easy to be impressed by their ingenuity, and their utensils still have the charm of Tang and Song dynasties.
But it is easy to be clever by showing off skills. This is also something that those of us who like Japanese ancient artifacts cannot fail to check.
Japanese flower ceremony, tea ceremony, incense and so on, spread orderly, and full of vitality. Then, why did ancient China not form such a “Tao”?
Must not also, but do not also. Buddhism from the East of India is a good example. Assuming that there is no ancient Chinese understanding and reconstruction of the original Buddhism in India, we can imagine that Theravada Buddhism can only leave us more historical buildings like Angkor Wat.
Mahayana Buddhism has a vast number of works, tens of thousands of Buddhist doctrines, but also combined with the spirit of ancient Chinese literati, created a new “Buddhist path” : Zen.
Taoism is also a creative and imaginative work of ancient China.
The same is true of Kukama mountains in Japan. Ancient Chinese temples Jia LAN, rarely in the “small” inside efforts. When a good place is obtained, the buildings on it rarely need to be “twice” arranged.
Therefore, it seems that we have been a relatively spontaneous people since ancient times, disdaining small skills and preferring to study knowledge on the “Road of Neo-Confucianism”, so it is not surprising that we have not produced the “Tao” based on the foundation and artifacts of Japan.
The Qing Dynasty’s aesthetic from the top down is a destruction of the Tang spirit. Fortunately, the Japanese had already passed on their wandugoaesthetic.
Of course, it is a pity that young people in Japan today do not care much about the artifacts inherited by their families, which can certainly be regarded as good news for lovers of tea ceremonies and ancient artifacts in our country, but I am deeply worried that we are not ready to inherit them again.
The first, of course, is the dating of skills. I have come into contact with the works of some so-called masters, and most of them lack a little spirit.
It’s not about skill.
Second, it is aesthetic dating. Modern wars and cultural/Revolutionary wars have destroyed too many material relics. In addition to museums, it is difficult for us to come into contact with the elegance of ancient artifacts and ancient buildings in daily life.
Third, the collection of ancient artifacts, most of them still only stay in the stage of showering wealth, showering skills, and did not form a guide to the norms of daily life, so see Zhao Zhongxiang, He Shen (Wang Gang) home furnishings, the total feeling is completely wasting those valuable works of art.
Collecting like that, it’s no different than collecting precious metals.
I also do not think that Japan can have any development or breakthrough in tea utensils at present, this is not a criticism, but I think that Japanese tea utensils have reached the peak after Edo and Meiji era.
After the Meiji period, the abandonment of Confucianism and the destruction of Buddhism, under the guidance of Western American life, it is impossible to appear what cannot be developed, and it is good to make repairs.
On the other hand, I also think that the right time has not yet come, and even if such a time will not come, I think it is unknown.
After all, the age is too long, and our current state of life is still too hasty and uncertain, in this case, can have enough calm cognition of aesthetic is already extravagant.
