今天与大家分享中国茶简史。
Today I would like to share with you a brief history of Chinese tea.
Three stages of tea utilization
1、药用
发现和利用茶可以追溯到原始时期，我国第一步药物专著《神农本草》中就有“神农氏尝百草“，日遇七十二毒，得荼而解之。”茶做药用，生嚼内服，清热，外敷消炎解毒。
1、 medicinal
The discovery and utilization of tea can be traced back to the primitive period. In the first drug monograph Shennong Materia Medica in China, "Shennong Tastes Hundred Grasses", which encounters seventy-two poisons every day, is completely relieved. Tea for medicinal purposes, raw chewing, oral administration, heat clearing, external application anti-inflammatory detoxification.
2、食用
从生嚼到煮食，茶叶可以和粮食一起煮“茶粥”，“羹印”，或者灼煮，捞起，加调料。今云南基诺族仍有“凉拌茶菜”。
2、edible
From chewing to cooking, tea can be cooked together with grain "porridge", "seals", or boiled, picked up and seasoned. There are still "cold tea dishes" among Jinuo people in Yunnan today.
3、饮用
饮用源于食用，从食用到饮用，是出于对茶之本味的追求。现代仍然有食用茶的风俗，牧区将茶掺入牛奶共饮，少数民族地区有擂茶和打油茶。
3、 drinking
Drinking comes from eating, from eating to drinking, is out of the pursuit of the original taste of tea. There is still a custom of eating tea in modern times. Tea is mixed with milk in pastoral areas, and tea rolling and Camellia beating are common in ethnic minority areas.
The Change of Tea Drinking Style
1、唐代煮茶法
煮茶前，先把茶叶碾碎，烧开水后将调料放入，再将茶粉撒入锅内。饮用时，趁热将茶渣和茶汤一起一起喝下去，谓之“吃茶”。
唐人煮茶一度喜欢往茶汤里添加调味料，如盐、葱、姜或橘皮等等，中唐时陆羽极力反对这一煮茶的方式，煮茶的时候最多加一点盐调味。此后唐人饮茶开始提倡茶汤的原味，为茶道之兴奠定基础。
1. The tea brewing method in the Tang Dynasty.
Before boiling tea, crush the tea, boil the water, put the seasoning in, and then sprinkle the tea powder into the pot. When drinking, take advantage of the heat to drink tea residue and tea soup together, which is called "eating tea".
At one time, Tang people liked to add spices to tea soup, such as salt, onion, ginger or orange peel, etc. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu strongly opposed this method of tea boiling, adding at most a little salt to flavor tea boiling. Since then, Tang people began to advocate the original taste of tea soup, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of tea ceremony.
2、宋代点茶法
宋代的饮茶方式上升到了审美的高度，到达了极致。他们在茶饼上装饰了很多龙凤的花纹，十分精致，叫做“龙凤团茶”。
喝茶时，先将饼茶碾成细细的粉末，用沸水冲点茶。为了使茶末与水融为一体，用茶筅快速击打，茶水充分交融，并使茶盏中出现大量白色茶沫。日本的抹茶道就是起源于此。
2. Tea method in Song Dynasty
The way of drinking tea in Song Dynasty rose to the height of aesthetics and reached the acme. They decorated the tea cake with many patterns of dragons and phoenixes, which are very delicate, called "Dragon and Phoenix Tea".
When drinking tea, first crush the cake tea into fine powder, then pour some tea with boiling water. In order to make the tea powder and water merge into one, the tea is beaten quickly with the tea tape, the tea is fully blended, and a large number of white tea foam appears in the tea calendar. This is where the Japanese tea ceremony originated.
3、明代泡茶法
到了明代，制茶法和饮茶法一再简化。朱元璋大力推广散茶导致了茶类的异化，以前只有绿茶，后来慢慢又出现了别的茶类。明朝人认为这种饮法“简便异常，天趣悉备，可谓尽茶之真味矣”。
茶叶冲泡的方法也延续到了今天，泡茶不加任何调味料，喝的是茶的原味、真味，同时泡茶所用的茶具和方法也简化了很多，更利于茶文化的传播。
3, the Ming Dynasty tea brewing method
In the Ming Dynasty, tea-making and drinking methods were simplified again and again. Zhu Yuanzhang's vigorous promotion of loose tea led to the alienation of tea, which used to be only green tea, but later slowly appeared other kinds of tea. People in the Ming Dynasty believed that this drinking method was "simple and unusual, full of interest in the sky, which could be said to be the true taste of tea."
The method of tea brewing has also continued to this day. Tea brewing does not add any condiments, but drinks the original taste and true taste of tea. At the same time, the tea utensils and methods used in tea brewing have been simplified a lot, which is more conducive to the spread of tea culture.
