Chinese tea culture started to enjoy popularity during the Tang Dynasty and flourished throughout the Song Dynasty,
中国茶文化在唐代开始发展起来,在宋代达到了“盛造其极”的境界,
when tea had become a necessity for almost everyone, from nobles and scholars to common people,
当时,茶已经几乎成为从贵族、学者、到普通老百姓的必需品。
just like other indispensable items, such as rice, oil and salt, as suggested by Song politician and thinker Wang Anshi.
就像宋朝政治家、思想家王安石所说的:“夫茶之为民用,等于米盐,不可一日以无。”
Different from the method of brewing tea during the Tang period, in the Song Dynasty, the prevalent way of having tea was through dian cha.
与唐代的泡茶方法不同,宋代盛行的喝茶方式是点茶。
The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered tea creating a paste,
首先将热水倒在细密的茶粉上,调成糊状,
then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is constantly whisked by hand with a bamboo stick.
然后慢慢加入更多热水,用茶筅不断地搅动。
This action of pouring hot water is called dian, hence the name dian cha, which was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Runzhou district, Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu province, in 2019.
这种加入热水的动作被称为“点”,“点茶”因此得名,该技艺在2019年被列为江苏省镇江市润州区的非物质文化遗产。
