Tea Drinking Etiquette

China is the birthplace of tea. It has a long history of tea planting, a strict tea ceremony and peculiar tea drinking customs.

Our country has been drinking tea for more than 4700 years since the age of Shennong.

Tea ceremony has its origin.

This is the traditional virtue and courtesy of our Chinese compatriots.

Until now, guests will have to make a cup of tea.

Celebrations and tea parties are also welcome.

A tea party is simple, economical and elegant.

The so-called "gentlemen's friendship is light like water", also refers to the fragrant and pleasant tea.

The Chinese Han compatriots also have various custom of replacing tea with tea.

In the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, every summer in Hangzhou, every family cooked new tea, and each of them was accompanied by fine colored fruits, which was called "seven tea".

This custom is to put two "green fruits" in the teacup, that is, olive or kumquat, which means the auspicious auspiciousness of the new year.

The tea ceremony is a ceremonious ceremony in the ancient Chinese wedding ceremony.

Ming Huts said in the book "Cha Shu Kao Ben": "the tea will not change, but the plant will grow."

The ancients married to tea, that tea can only germinate from the seeds into plants, can not be pplanted, otherwise it will die, so tea is regarded as a symbol of the most immovable.

Therefore, the folk men and women engaged in tea ceremony, and the woman accepted the man's betrothal gift, called "down tea" or "tea Ding". Some were called "tea", and there was a saying "one does not eat two tea".

At the same time, the marriage ceremony is also known as "three cups and six rites".

"Three tea" is the "down tea" when engaged, the "fixed tea" for marriage, and the "tea combination" during the same room.

"Down tea" is also known as "male tea female wine", that is to say, when the engagement is made, the men should send back a few cylinders of Shaoxing wine except for sending them with satisfactory pressure.

At the wedding ceremony, there are three tea ceremonies.

Three tea drinkers, the first cup of 100 fruit, second cups of lotus seeds, dates, third cups of tea.

The way to eat, after the cup, hold your hands, deeply bow, and then touch your lips, that is, your family.

The second way is also true.

The third way is to drink before drinking.

This is the most respected etiquette.

Of course, there are no such customs, but the ceremony of tea worship is still used as a habit.
