In recent years, with the resurgence of tea culture, people are full of curiosity about the origin and history of tea. Tea, a seemingly ordinary but rich cultural drink, has a long history and a long history. In ancient China, the emergence of tea was not achieved overnight, but after a long period of historical accumulation and cultural precipitation.
Tracing the history of tea, we have to mention that before the Tang Dynasty, tea was not widely spread, and its production technology was not yet mature. According to historical records, there are three main ways for the ancients to treat tea: chewing it raw, making tea and collecting it in the sun. Although this use of tea as a medicine is very different from the modern tea drinking culture, it reflects the ancient people's understanding of the medicinal value of tea.
And green tea, as a major category of tea, has a long history. The originator of green tea can be said to be the birthplace of tea culture, which originated from the history of China thousands of years ago. According to historical records, green tea was first collected by the ancestors of wild tea plants and dried and collected. This simple processing without any smoking or fermentation has allowed the history of green tea to be traced back more than 3,000 years.
The real green tea processing technology began to appear during the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the method of steaming green tea was dominant, and in the Ming Dynasty, the method of making tea by stir-fried green was gradually developed. This historic progress has not only made the processing technology of green tea more mature, but also laid a solid foundation for the development of the tea industry.
The evolution of tea culture is also inseparable from the development of green tea processing technology. Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" has been hailed as a milestone in Chinese tea culture, and its influence on tea culture is far-reaching and long-lasting. During the Tang and Song dynasties, tea culture was dominated by steamed Qingtuan tea, and steamed green loose tea and fried green loose tea also existed. With the liberation of the tea making method in the Ming Dynasty, the tea processing technology has been greatly developed, making the fried green method bloom and gradually improve.
The continuous progress of tea-making technology is also an important guarantee for the continuous growth of the tea industry. High-temperature killing, rolling, re-frying, baking, drying and other technological processes make the production process of modern fried green tea very similar to that of ancient times. This spirit of heritage and innovation has enabled the tea industry to occupy a place in today's highly competitive market.
As the quintessence of China, tea has a long history and cultural connotation that is breathtaking. From ancient times to the present, the processing technology of tea has continued to develop, and the tea culture has also evolved. Today, we can feel the weight of history in the fragrance of green tea, and also appreciate the beauty of life in the inheritance of tea culture.
