Chinese tea culture is the culture of Chinese tea making and tea drinking . China is the hometown of tea. The discovery and use of tea by Chinese people is said to have started in the Shennong era, which is less than 4700 years old. Until now, the Han people still have the custom of giving tea as a substitute for rituals . Chaozhou Gongfu Tea, as a classical school of Chinese tea culture, concentrates the essence of Chinese tea ceremony culture and is selected as a national intangible cultural heritage as a representative of Chinese tea ceremony. The sencha ceremony in Japan and the tea making ceremony in Taiwan, China are all derived from Gongfu tea in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China.
As one of the seven things to open the door (chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea), tea drinking was very common in ancient China. Chinese tea culture has a long history and is broad and profound. It contains not only the material and cultural level, but also the profound spiritual civilization level. The tea scriptures of tea saint Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty sounded the clarion call of Chinese tea culture in history. Since then, the spirit of tea has penetrated the court and society, and has penetrated into Chinese poetry, painting, calligraphy, religion, and medicine. For thousands of years, China has not only accumulated a large amount of material culture about tea planting and production, but also accumulated a wealth of tea-related spiritual culture. This is China's unique tea culture, which belongs to the category of cultural science.
