As winter approached,
A nice cup of tea
The most soothing.
Of course, drinking tea is a trivial matter,
The reason why tea soup is fragrant, sweet and mellow,
Reality and water, and tea ware,
And site air
There is a mysterious relationship.
All the happy tea lovers of the moment,
Liquidate a tea shop at home
Or set up a tea table,
After the process of moderate decoration
With a fair match,
With a sense of interest and beauty,
Even if you don’t know much about tea,
Or a cup of tea,
Drink all kinds of flavors.
November is a busy month for tea drinkers. The weather is getting cold and it’s boiling day again. Song Qingzhi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem titled “On the Day when the Furnace is turned on” : “… Paper is added to the new, tea ou boiled fine spring. Although the clouds are small, spring is happy.” It can be seen that this season, if you can cook a pot of tea at home, no matter how small and simple the house seems to have a gentle spring.
Even the cottage enjoys tea
Chinese people who are used to drinking tea, most of them have a sense of the long history of tea culture, and they also harbor a fear of the flood of tea ceremonies. If you drink tea carefully, you must have good water, good tea, good utensils, but also know how to cook tea, know how to taste tea, and have the heart to study tea art, it can be described as “boundless tea sea”.
But in reality, enjoy tea this thing, really do not need profound knowledge and significant investment, the most important thing is to slow down, to find me an exciting corner, good pick up, that is, in the hut side, can also have a pleasant tea.
The living scene of ancient people was not different, and the occasions and arrangements of tea tasting at home also varied from person to person. Conditionally dedicated to open a teahouse the most exciting, insufficient space can also set up a tea table. You can also feel yourself preparing a set of tea utensils, such as a pot for making tea, a cup or bowl for eating tea and tasting tea, a pot or box for storing tea, plus sponsored tea towels, tea needles, tea lotus, etc. If you have a moment, walk around and see, you may be able to find my heart, and then sit down, make a pot of tea, and gradually product.
Tea house and tea table
The room where tea is served is called a teahouse. As a teahouse room I have no extraordinary place, before the Tang Dynasty, people eat tea and drink tea are sitting on the floor. If it is a regular tea, there should be a niche and a floor stove in the tea house. The hue of all the tea MATS is based on the color and texture of the mat. If a log or marble countertop is used as a mat, nothing can be placed on it, or it can be supplemented by tea towels made of cloth, silk, silk, satin, and caraway, and it is matched with the bedding woven with bamboo grass or lotus leaves. The texture should form a harmonious combination with other decorations in the room.
As early as the Song Dynasty, people had placed tea MATS next to nature. Set up a tea table in the garden or on the rooftop, and the scenery and air of drinking tea will be completely different from that in the room. Of course, the tea table located in the room can also be surrounded by artistic elements drawn from nature or inspired by nature, such as flower arrangement, incense burning and hanging pictures, which are called “four arts” with tea art. From the perspective of ancient home space design, whether it is flower potted plants, calligraphy and painting hanging axes, screens, curtains, bamboo plaques, or antique shelves and ancient Musical Instruments placed on classical handicrafts, they are set up for the chic and elegant space of building tea houses. In addition, the design of the teahouse also includes the structure and decoration of mat noodles, the combination and collocation of tea sets, and the choice of refreshments. Abide by the personal hobby, the space of the teahouse can have a theme, and through the process of various props lining and embellishing, the ceremony of the tea event is set off.
Q1.in general, what size table is suitable for a tea table? What are the decorative colors of the teahouse?
A: The interval between the status of the tea owner and the guests in the tea house is also the interval between conveying the taste, which should not be too far away, so the tea table should be small and not large. The color of the teahouse should be the most basic and peaceful earth color system, such as shavings, bamboo, wood and pottery, and the atmosphere of the city and tea is very smooth.
Q2. What are the necessary tea sets for setting up a tea table at home?
A: I am used to using a dry tea mat at home. There will be a pot socket under the pot, and tea towels, covers, tea needles and tea rules will be placed next to it. In addition, water bottles are needed to hold the tea water and tea residue. In fact, the first tea ceremony does not need to buy a special set of tea sets. Sometimes, I will use stones or small jade pieces picked from around the tour as a tea needle holder, and even use the base of animal bonsai as a pot holder.
Q3. Which furniture is more suitable for the tea house? What decorations can be placed in the tea table to enhance the taste of tea?
A: If you want to let guests taste tea, the first thing is to make people sit excited. Sometimes for the sake of elegance, the use of tables and chairs will make guests sit more tired, they can not concentrate on tea. The teahouse at home is not the same as the club outside. I propose to avoid shining objects such as silk and crystal lamps, and use more natural elements and elegant colors. In a soft tone, small but colorful porcelain and jade are used to enhance the details of the tea table. If you do not know how to arrange flowers, you can also cut a small animal flower from the bonsai at home and insert it on the table to increase interest. When I entertain guests for a cup of tea in the evening, I usually light a candle and turn off the top lamp. In this way, when you get together with your partner, there will be a nostalgic atmosphere like a quiet thatched house.
