新素养 文化意识 In China, tea is one of the seven most important things for daily lives, along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. Today, tea is not just a Chinese tradition—it has become a special part of culture 1 by people all over the world.
On Nov. 29, Chinese traditional tea processing skills and their related social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. More importantly, China's tea culture has formed Chinese customs. It is the Chinese traditional custom that a host should welcome visiting guests with 2 tea, which is one of China's oldest ways to make tea. Later, during the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644), a faster method became popular—steeping. This meant people just poured hot water over tea leaves and waited a few minutes, making tea easier to prepare.
These days, 3 the old methods again has become a trend among young people. On an app, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of "stove-boiled tea(围炉煮茶)". They lightly roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting, enjoying snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those 4 ancient times. Through "stove-boiled tea", people can taste a slower life and find a sense of calm. According to a post, "It is very 5 to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends."
Last week, I invited my friends over for stove-boiled tea. We spent the whole afternoon 6 and laughing. My best friend said this is the happiest time she has had in months. I was 7 by her words. It made us all 8 refreshed and ready to face the busy week ahead.
