Kung Fu tea basics literacy

 

 

Cofu tea requires a certain amount of time to operate, but it is a learning and effort to drink. WorkFuTwo words, in the water, fire, Chong three in the request. Water and fire all pay attention to a living word. The tea Sutra said: "The mountains and rivers are high, the rivers and rivers are medium, and the wells are below them ." At that time, there was no tap water, and Lu Yu did not discuss it. Tap water was not suitable for tea cooking. This is a common sense. However, just like in Hong Kong, water production is a treasure, and "self-Come" is not enough. What is the use of tap water?

"Tea Sutra" also said: "the top of the hill spring light clear, the bottom of the mountain spring heavy turbidity, Shizhong spring clear Gan, sand spring clear, soil spring thick, good flow, negative Yin wins, shan Xi Quan Ji, Shan Xiu Quan Shen, Xi Shui tasteless." This is very simple. As for the water, such as Tianquan, Tianshui, Qiuyu, Meiyu, dew, and ice-breaking, these are all within the scope of attention, but they are actually hard to do, like Miao Yu in "Dream of Red Mansions", with a face of the Qinghai-Tibet plum blossom on the snow water used to cook tea, that is only her can have this leisurely, I have no such time.

 

Tips for cooking tea: "water is always first, fire is not enough ". Su Dongpo shiyun: "Active Water must still be active ". Active Fire is the flame of charcoal. Chaozhou people use "Twisted Charcoal" for tea cooking. "Twisted Charcoal" is a very strong tree. After burning charcoal, it will never smell smoke-free, sound, and black, is the best fuel. There is also the use of the nucleus for carbon, the flame light blue, flame live fire uniform, especially.

 

Gongfu tea originated from the Song Dynasty and was the most popular in Chaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong (currently in the Chaoshan Region) and Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian. It was the inheritance and in-depth development of tea art since the Tang Dynasty and the Song dynasty. Su Zhe has a poem: "Fujian's tea products are high in the world, so I don't know how to work with tea ."

 

Gongfu tea is one of the most famous customs in the Chaoshan region. In the Chaoshan region, every household has a work-time tea set and must drink several rounds of tea every day. That is to say, those who use Joe's overseas residents or immigrated overseas are still keeping the customs of Kung Fu tea. It can be said that the shadows of Kung Fu tea are everywhere.

 

Gongfu tea is famous for its high concentration. It seems to be bitter when you first drink it. After getting used to it, it seems that other teas are not enough. Gongfu tea uses Oolong tea, such as Tieguanyin, Narcissus and Phoenix tea. Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea between red and green tea. Only such tea can rush out of the color and fragrance required by Kung Fu tea.

 

Phoenix tea is produced in the Phoenix mountainous area of Chaozhou. The color of the tea is slightly brown, the tea is tight, the leaves are thick, and the tea is resistant to brewing. Generally, it can be washed for about 20 times. Phoenix single congcha is the most famous and has the flavor of sweet-scented osmanthus, Jasmine and honey. It was once won the title at the National famous tea awards held in Fuzhou.

It differs from other tea drinking methods in tea sets. It is said that Lu Yu made a tea maker, where there were 24 things. There are at least 10 tea sets for Chaozhou Gongfu tea. This is:

Teapot

Chaozhou tuyu is called Chong can and Su can, because it comes from Yixing, Jiangsu Province, and is the smallest of Yixing zisha pot. Choose a teapot. There are four words in the standard: "small, shallow, Qi, old ." The teapot contains two-person, three-person, and four-person cans, which are most cherished by mengchen, tie Xuan, Qiu pu, Zun pu, Hill, Yuan xisheng, etc. There are a lot of pot styles, such as oranges, who are similar to oranges, but also have melons, persimmons, diamond, drum, plum blossom, hexagonal, Chestnut ...... And so on. Generally, we use a drum-shaped image. There are also many kinds of pot colors, such as cinnabar, iron, Chestnut, purple mud, stone yellow, and tianqing ...... And so on, there is also a kind of pot body silver sand flash, Zhu granular, vulgar that the skin sand pumping, the most precious. But no matter how the style and color are, the most important thing is "small should not be big, should be light should not deep", because big will not "work.

So we use a big teapot, a middle teapot, a tea drum, a tea sieve, and a tea stall ...... And so on, even if you use tea leaves of one hundred yuan or two, it cannot be regarded as Gongfu tea. As for the relationship between the two colors, the tea leaves are not easy to become seed. Aside from being big, small, deep, and shallow, the most important thing about the teapot is: "sanshanqi", which is the most important criterion for evaluating the quality of the pot. The solution is: cover the teapot and place it on the table (preferably on a very flat glass). If the three flags are flat, it is "sanshanqi. This is related to the level and quality of the pot. "Old" mainly refers to the amount of "Tea dregs" accumulated in the pot, which has already been said before. Of course, there are still a lot of old words, such as what dynasty was produced, how old history was, what famous craftsman was made, and what famous people posted on it ...... And so on. However, it is not a problem to use a teapot, but a problem of playing antiques.

 

In addition to using the "Chong can", you can also use the "cap" function when there are many guests ". Every time a dish is eaten in the Chaozhou restaurant, a tour of Kung Fu tea will surely come up, that is, it will be washed with "gaiyun", which is suitable for occasions with a large number of people, you can have ten to twelve cups at a time. But after all, the mouth is wide and cannot be fragrant, and the smell is much worse than that of the tank. However, as long as the tea makers are "Working Hard", they can also rush out of Gongfu tea with the help of tea.

 

Teacup

The choice of a cup also has four tips: small, light, thin, and white. The light is the color of the tea. The light is the color of the tea. The light is as thin as paper to make it fragrant. Chaozhou tea guests often use white-earth blue flowers, wide daily basis, cup bottom book "If deep Collection" "If deep forest" is precious, but it is not easy to get. The white porcelain mug made by Jiangxi Jingdezhen And Chaozhou fengxi is also very good, commonly known as the "White fruit cup ".

 

As for some people also pay attention to what "Spring Yi ox eye cup, summer Yi chestnut cup, Autumn yi cup, winter Yi Zhong Huai", this does not have to pay too much attention. However, use a Bell cup, milk cup ...... These tea cups are not suitable for employees.

 

Tea washing

The shape is like a large bowl, there are many different shades of color, there are three essential Kung Fu tea, one is two, is used to dip the cup, and the other is used to dip the tank, A cup of water and tea that has been soaked.

 

Tea tray

The tea tray is used to hold the cup. It also has various styles, such as yuyue and checkerboard ...... And so on. But no matter what the style is, the most important thing is also the four word Tips: width, flat, light, white. That is, the disk should be wide, so that the number of guests is too small, you can put a few more cups; the bottom should be flat, so as not to make the cup unstable, easy to shake; the side should be light, the color should be white, this is to set off the cup and teapot to make it beautiful.

 

Tea mat

It is smaller than the tea tray, and it is used to set the flushing pot. There are also various styles, but in short, we should note that "the shortest winter is deep ". The reason for the depth of winter is that it is easy to add more boiling water when pouring the pot, so that the tea is not easy to cold, the tea Mat should also be placed on a layer of "mat ", "mat felt" is cut by the shape and size of the tea mat, so you need to use it instead of cloth felt, in order not to smell, the role of Mat felt is to protect the teapot, kung Fu tea will put the teapot upside down after sprinkling tea, so as to avoid water in the pot, a little bit of water, it will also make the tea taste bitter, the reason is that the single Ning acid dissolved.

 

Water bottle and water bowl

They are used to store water for tea. Water bottle, repair neck hanging shoulder, flat bottom, there are lifting handle, plain porcelain blue flowers are the best. There is also a kind of neck and mouth, decorated with Yunlong, the name is also good. (Yunlong, Chaozhou dialect is called"Qian Long", Chaozhou dialect is a two-byte heartbeat, and Qian and Yi are the heartbeat words, that is, the gecko .)

 

Water bowl is also used to store water for tea, the size is equal to a common flowerpot, there are many styles. In the Ming Dynasty, the "red and golden colors" were painted with hardware glaze, And the goldfish were painted at the bottom of the bucket. When the water was filled, the water moved, as if the goldfish were also swimming. This was a rare treasure, usually more common plain porcelain blue and white flowers, placed in the tea bed, covered with red wood cover, when the water is made of coconut shell, coconut when the tea is not boiled, the master Kai covered when the water, the work of "Gongfu tea" is no longer convincing.

 

Dragon Cylinder

The big dragon cylinder is similar to the Lotus cylinder planted in the Chamber, or smaller. It is used to store a large amount of spring water, with a dense lid and a wooden base placed in the corner of shuzhai. It is antique. The dragon cylinder is also made of plain porcelain and blue and white, but it is hard to see. The products of Emperor Kangxi are extremely precious. With modern products, as long as the color size is adjusted, it is very good.

 

Red Mud Stove

"Green ant New Baking wine, small red clay stove. Can I have a drink if I want to see the snow late ?" It can be seen that the ancient people were warm with a red clay stove. Naturally, it was in the north. As for "cold night tea as wine", whether to use a red clay stove to cook tea, whether the tea is like the current Chaozhou Gongfu tea, drinking tea like, the poetry did not explain. but I think it should be like this. Otherwise, during the cold night, drinking tea in a large bowl and a large bowl won't make people urinate frequently and sit tight? The guest ran away with a long time ago. Who can sit down and talk about it. Therefore, I think this "cold night tea as wine" tea should be equivalent to today's employee tea.

 

Red Mud stove, chao'an, Chaoyang, Jieyang have made, beautiful style. There are also various forms, which are characterized by long shape, six-inch high, seven-inch, with a deep and small heart, so that the fire is even, saving carbon, and the small furnace has a lid and a door, when not in use, it is both cost-effective and convenient. There is often a very elegant couplet at the edge of the furnace door, And yifa adds tea. The small stove is placed on the refined wooden frame. The wooden frame is like a tower, and the lower is big and small. The stove is placed on the top one by one, and a fan is the furnace door. A grid in the middle is used to put fans, steel chopsticks, and other things. The following is a grid of charcoal, nuclear charcoal, or fire. "To do things well, you must sharpen the tool first." With such settings, it is naturally very convenient to cook tea.

 

Sand jump

"Sand jump", the most famous fengxi in Chaozhou, also known as "tea pot", is made of sand mud, very lightweight, water open, the small lid will automatically flip, A burst of sound. At this time, the water Chong tea is just suitable. As for the use of steel pot, aluminum pot to boil water brewed tea, although there is no, but metal, used to boil water brewed tea after all, it is a little worse, it does not take time.

 

Fan and chopsticks

The fan is used to stir up the fire. When it is used to stir up the fire, it must not only use strength, but also cannot bypass the door to the left and right. In this way, it can maintain a certain degree of fire, and it also expresses respect for the guests. Therefore, the special feather fan is not only conducive to the use of "time", but also a fan compiled with white goose lingers, not big, elegant bamboo, red, green, and white ...... Tea Set of various colors, plus rich tea of golden purple, naturally don't have fun. Steel chopsticks not only aim to clamp carbon and fire, but also keep the master hands clean.

 

Although Lu Yu's twenty-four-style tea set specifications are not enough, Lu Yu has made a big difference. If you want to talk about it again, there will not be more than 24 pieces. For example, tea tin cans are made in Chaozhou as the top products. There are also tea towels dedicated to clean tea sets. Coffee table, used to set up tea sets. Tea bearer, can store tea, spring and autumn, mountain float water, near flow gargle stone, Lin Shen Deep quiet, sit on the ground, Xi Ming sip, naturally is a joy of life.

 

Gongfu tea is a unique product. If you have no time to cook tea, it cannot be called Gongfu tea. Therefore, Kung Fu tea is used to cook and brew tea.

 

To drink Gongfu tea, you must first have a set of qualified tea sets. The teapot (known as the "Chong can" in Chaozhou) is made of pottery, and the purple sand is the best. The pot is a flat drum, long mouth long handle, very elegant, there are two cups, three cups, four cups of pot points. Put the pot upside down the table, its mouth, Mouth, handle even landing on the ground, center into a straight line, for the teapot superior. If the superior is in the water, the stability will not sink. Exquisite and elegant, white as the jade cup, the diameter is only 5 cm, high 2 cm, divided into two hot and cold. Cold cup mouth micro-reception, take its heat preservation, the cup mouth slightly fl, easy to heat. The name of a tea tray containing a cup or pot is "Tea boat", with holes in the concave cover, and the waste tea can be kept for about half a litre. The whole set of tea sets is a kind of crafts. The teacup and tea boat are glazed or glazed. The most expensive teapot, an ancient and precious teapot, is an antique for appreciation, some embedded with a layer of exquisite silver or gold pattern, it became a rare biography. The rust in the teapot cannot be washed away. The more precious the rust is, the more attractive the tea is.
