Red Net Moment News reporter Tang Zhening, Shen Xin, Chenzhou report
Drinking tea, a form of consumption that does not conform to young people and goes against the rhythm of modern life, is quietly growing. The wind of drinking tea is blowing violently to young people and has become the lifestyle of this generation of young people. More and more young people have joined the ranks of tea viewing, tea tasting, tea appreciation, and tea research, and tea drinking has become a major hobby in their spare time.
Why is drinking tea gradually becoming the new favorite of young people?
With this question, today we enter the elegant tea man - Yuan Hao, the curator of the "24 solar terms" tea party.
One side of the tea ceremony, two silver kettles, three tea cups, four repeatedly fragrant. In a rustic and quaint Chinese tea room, Yuan Hao and his "friends" are enjoying a corner of tranquility.
Yuanhao's tea room is far from the hustle and bustle of the market. The tea room is small and fine, and the care is retro and elegant. There are many utensils in the room, many of which are carefully collected by Yuan Hao over the years, and the selection and arrangement of each item are meticulous and ingenious.
In addition to tea elements, there are also various traditional Chinese elements such as tea hanging and oriental flower arrangement, which have a strong ancient charm. The elegance of the mountains and forests is hidden in this branch of the carefully cut flowers, a corner of a Zen, a step of a scene, curling and dense, faint light, there is a sense of wandering thoughts.
Originated by coincidence, loyal to love
Yuan Hao, who is born in the 95s, is young, but he has already walked on the road of tea learning and tea research.
Eight or nine spring and autumn.
Speaking of why he became attached to tea, Yuan Hao quipped: "I used to watch people drinking tea in the teahouse, and I felt that it was a very pleasant thing, and maybe the seeds of yearning for a better life were planted at that time." ”
Since then, Yuan Hao has started his journey of tea learning. He used his first internship salary to buy a set of wet foaming appliances online. While looking for books, he devoted himself to research, and in the small teacup, he searched for the big world. In order to make his craft more refined, Yuan Hao went around to learn tea room courses, space aesthetics, life aesthetics, oriental flower arrangement, etc.
Different from other tea people, the connection between Yuanhao and tea has an additional "medium", that is, the "24 solar terms" tea party.
Xiaoman, summer solstice, summer heat, autumn equinox, cold dew, frost, beginning of winter, heavy snow, small cold ......Since the beginning of summer in 2022, the "24 solar terms" tea party has been held for 24 times. According to the characteristics of the solar terms, each solar term tea ceremony carefully matches the color of the tea ceremony, tea products, tea sets, tea flowers, and refreshments, and uses pottery, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement as the breathing carrier, showing the elegance of Chinese tea through the poetry and painting of the 24 solar terms.
The flowers and trees used in the tea party are all in season, and many of them are new flowers and materials that are airlifted from Kunming and Dali. Yuan Hao wants to shorten the distance between each other through the most authentic form of flowers, so that tea guests and tea lovers can feel the beauty of life given by nature, so as to achieve the effect of pleasing the body and mind, flowers and trees and soft hearts.
There is no reason to hold a bowl, and send it to the tea lover "Tea man, who is also a poet." Yuan Hao's gestures are full of elegance and cultivation. The teacup is full of poetry, the thick part is not arrogant, the light place has an aftertaste, the tea is like Zen, and it is comfortable.
Actively explore, tea and tourism integration
As a native of Chenzhou, Yuanhao has a strong hometown complex. He places his love for his hometown on the mountains and rivers. Just like Zhou Dunyi loves lotus, Tao Yuan likes chrysanthemums, and he likes the fragrance in his hand.
Chenzhou is like a treasure, every time we go, we have a different experience and surprise. "During last year's Tourism Development Conference, Yuanhao took advantage of the opportunity of the tea party to hold an exhibition, moved the tea ceremony from the indoor into the tourist scenic spot, and walked into the West River, Linhu Lake and Mountain Pavilion with tea utensils, introducing Chenzhou to friends from all over the world, to feel the beautiful natural scenery of Chenzhou, so that more young people can fall in love with a city because of a cup of tea.
The integration of tea tourism is a new exploration of tea culture.
In order to better promote tea culture and promote Chenzhou, Yuan Hao came up with the idea of moving the tea party into the field. "The rape flowers next to the Chenzhou Governor's Roll have already bloomed, and when the weather clears, we plan to hold a large tea party in the rape flower field in March. Speaking of this, Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with anticrative and determined gaze.
Inheritance and innovation, cultural continuity
The aesthetics of tea life is relatively rare in Chenzhou, and we have always advocated making a cup of tea 'young'. "Making tea more youthful and young friends falling in love with tea is one of the concepts of Yuanhao's tea party.
Over the years, Yuanhao has spared no effort to promote tea culture and oriental aesthetics, and wants to become a link between people and tea, people and thoughts, and people and life through tea in a cup, so as to understand the true meaning of life and find the meaning of life.
In order to better spread tea culture, Yuan Hao began to engage in tea teaching. Set up relevant courses, starting from tea knowledge and tea culture, and make a comprehensive interpretation of tea tasting, tea brewing methods, tea aesthetics, etc., so as to cultivate more people who know and understand tea.
With his love for tea culture and his unique pursuit of surrounding things and aesthetics, Yuan Hao has become well-known in the Chenzhou tea drinking circle.
More and more young people come to him to taste tea, discuss tea, and learn tea. More young people with ideas found him to jointly promote tea culture and tea life aesthetics. The Guanyun Art Museum, located in Chenzhou Changjuan, is one of the "bases" where he and his tea friends enjoy tea and flowers.
Many like-minded friends have approached me and want to hold a series of aesthetic exhibitions derived from tea, such as tea hanging, tea utensils, tea products, etc., so that more young people can enter the world of tea and understand tea culture. When it comes to future planning, Yuan Hao is full of expectations to explore more possibilities about tea in order to spread tea culture.
