Su Xing roughly glanced at the scrolling public screen, and couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart.

She stabilized her mind, and continued to say: "Let's talk about the three elegance of Japan that Mr. Xiaoteng said: the tea ceremony, the incense ceremony, and the flower arrangement. The origin of these three elegance is our country, and everyone has no objection to this point." ?

First of all, let’s talk about tea culture. Our country has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are many kinds of tea. There are countless small branches under the six major tea categories. Let me give you an example. Chaoshan Gongfu tea Phoenix Dancong in oolong tea is only one of the oolong teas. There are 10 major fragrance types, more than 80 categories, more than 200 small fragrance types, and there are many different brewing methods for different single clusters. Generally speaking, "Mengchen pot, olive charcoal, Guan Gong tours the city, Han Xin point Bing' etc.

And the entire tea science system in our country is even more extensive and profound, distinguishing from various aspects such as region, craft, arbor tea, shrub tea, aroma type, etc., there are too many types of tea, and many inheritances that have been dealing with tea for a lifetime Tea people can't tell how many kinds of tea there are in our country, and no one dares to say that he can drink all the tea in our country in his life.

What is Japanese tea?In their small country, there are only a few tea-producing areas, and they can't grow any good tea. Most of their tea is green tea, and the tea-making techniques are borrowed from Chinese tea techniques, such as the most famous Japanese Gyokuro. For tea, they learned the steaming technique of our Enshi Yulu, but they didn't learn the essence of it.

Our Enshi Yulu, the cords of dry tea are tight and even, round and smooth, even and straight, shaped like pine needles, with pekoe exposed, green and green in color, and the dry tea has a delicate or chestnut fragrance.

Japanese gyokuro tea: the cord is flat and straight, green and bright, green or dark green in color, most of the gyokuro is finely divided, the leaves are not complete, and the dry tea has a fragrance of seaweed.

The temperature of our Enshi Yulu brewing can be controlled at around 80-85c. The leaf bottom is intact after brewing, and the soup is light green and bright like Yulu. The taste is fresh and sweet, and the aroma is clear.

The temperature of Japanese Gyokuro tea can only be controlled at about 55c when brewing. The bottom of the leaves are finely divided, and the green color is bright; the soup is green and has a fragrance like seaweed.

There are also their sencha, powdered tea, matcha, hojicha and other crafts. Which one is not the Chinese tea craft that I learned?And most of the techniques they have only learned superficially. They are not comparable to us in terms of tea types and tea-making techniques, so they find their presence in some so-called sense of ritual.

But in my opinion, the performance form of Japanese tea ceremony is very simple, and it is still reprocessed on the tea playing method of our Tang and Song Dynasties, becoming more complicated and formalized, and even ignoring the tea itself.

And our Huaguo pays attention to the simplicity of the road. We can make tea delicious in the simplest way, and let the common people drink tea. For thousands of years, tea has always been an indispensable part of our life. All 56 ethnic groups drink tea, and because of the differences in regions and ethnic cultures, many different tea cultures have emerged. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom together. "

Speaking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Some people like to snap up Japanese tea and strongly admire the Japanese tea ceremony. I don't really understand. As a citizen of the country where tea originated, how much do you think about our tea, How much do you know about tea culture? Have you ever drank several kinds of tea in China? Have you ever seen our tea evaluation, tea art, tea ceremony, and tea repair? If you don’t understand the tea culture of your country, then just say that Japanese tea is better than Chinese tea Well, Japan’s tea culture is more elegant and advanced than ours, what’s the basis? Could it be that in the minds of you people, if you label it as ‘Japan’, the level will be raised?”

The messages on the public screen scrolled quickly.

"Fuck, I've learned a lot!"

"Do we have so many teas? I don't usually drink tea, I only know black tea, green tea..."

"I have seen some tea people make tea at the tea fair. I think their movements are smooth, elegant and graceful, but the purpose of each step is to make the tea delicious, not just for performance."

"I traveled to Japan and bought a lot of their green tea and matcha. But in China, I'm not interested in these things. I never thought about learning about them, let alone buying them. (Expression: covering face)"

"I have drunk Dahongpao among black teas, Anji white tea among white teas, and green tea, and I think Tieguanyin is quite delicious."

Su Xing glanced at the public screen, and couldn't help correcting a sentence, "Dahongpao is rock tea in oolong, Anji white tea is green tea, and Tieguanyin is not green tea, but southern Fujian oolong."

That netizen posted a string: "..."

There are still many people typing on the public screen: "Hahahaha"

Someone else said: "What are you all laughing at? This is the basic common sense of tea classification in our country, but how many people in this room know this?"

The scrolling of the public screen paused for another two seconds.

Su Xing continued: "Let's talk about the incense culture. The owner of the house has said a lot about the topic of incense before, and I think it makes sense. Here I will briefly talk about my point of view. The earliest incense culture in our country is not Spices from the Western Regions, we have a very long history of using natural incense. According to historical data, we have used spice plants extensively since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In our country, incense is a firework in the world. Incense is both elegant and common. It has been our daily life for thousands of years. Our incense, in addition to cultivating sentiment, also combines pharmacology and pays attention to the maintenance of spirit and body. It is health preservation and spiritual rejuvenation, which embodies the thick and deep essence of Chinese culture everywhere.

The Japanese incense culture is indeed well-inherited now, but I think the Japanese incense culture is the same as the tea ceremony. Because of the lack of materials and the lack of cultural heritage, they cannot create our huge incense system. They can only learn from our Tang and Song Dynasties. The way of burning incense, coupled with the grand formal process they pursue, has become their current incense culture. "

After a pause, she continued: "Ikebana is also similar. The founder of Ikebana in Japan is called Ono Meizi. He came to my country to study and exchange, and found that we like flowers very much, especially some literati and doctors. The art of ikebana was amazing. After returning to Japan, he resigned from office and became a monk to devote himself to the study of flower arrangement. This is the origin of ikebana in Japan.

Although our Chinese-style flower arrangement and Japanese-style flower arrangement both pay attention to the beauty of lines, Japanese flower arrangement is more about the beauty of form, while our Chinese-style flower arrangement pursues the beauty of artistic conception, which is more chic, elegant and eclectic.

From ancient times to the present, we like to anthropomorphize flowers and trees, such as the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, the lotus is the pure friend, and the jasmine is the elegant friend. Flowers and trees carry too much emotion of our people, forming our country's unique flower culture and flower arrangement art.

Why do some Chinese who obviously grew up under the influence of our profound culture look down on the art of ikebana in our country, and admire the Japanese-style ikebana that is framed in order? "
