Floriculture Tea Ceremony Experience 1
Flower arranging is an art, and every movement and mentality of making tea is closely related to our life. As long as you feel it with your heart, you will gain a lot.
In the flower arrangement class, I learned about the varieties of flowers. Many poets like chrysanthemums and value their unyielding noble character. Du Fu once said, "Cold flowers are exhausted and chrysanthemums are flourishing." . Yuan Zhen said more directly: "It doesn't mean that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, and there are no flowers when they bloom." These two poems express their love for chrysanthemums and praise their faithfulness. Flowers also have their own spirit and different personalities.
There are also various ways to arrange flowers, although the art of arranging flowers is related to statues, bonsai and gardening. Art disciplines such as architecture have many similarities, but they also have their own characteristics. Flower arrangement is characterized by strong timeliness, randomness and decoration. In a word, the art of flower arrangement is a beautification method that is closest to the living environment and most easily accepted by people, and it is an activity of artistic accomplishment and cultural entertainment. The selection of materials for flower arrangement is also very important. We should not only consider the purpose and use of flower arrangement, but also consider personal preference and creative style. Choosing flowers is the beginning of creation and the process of artistic conception, so it is not blind.
Flower arrangement has a very long history. Japanese ikebana originated in China. It has many schools, unique patterns, exquisite skills and a wide range of activities. The major schools of Japanese flower arrangement have branches all over the country and even all over the world. It originated in China, but it has evolved into one of the unique traditional cultures and arts of Japanese Yamato people, and has already gone to the world.
According to the different containers, application methods and special forms, the types of flower arrangement in China are bottles, pots, barrels, games, hanging and bonsai. Chinese flower arrangement art is gradually maturing on the basis of absorbing the essence of flower arrangement art in various countries and regions.
Tea culture is essential in floral tea ceremony, which includes the beautiful artistic conception of the whole tea tasting process, such as tea tasting techniques, appreciation of artistic operation means and beautiful tea tasting environment. Its process embodies the mutual unity of form and spirit, which is a cultural phenomenon formed in the process of drinking tea. It has a long history, profound cultural background and close relationship with religion. Residents in more than 0/00 countries and regions all over the world love tea. In some places, drinking tea has been promoted to an artistic enjoyment. Different countries drink tea in the same way, each with its own advantages. China people have always had the habit of "inviting guests to offer tea", which fully embodies the civility and courtesy of the Chinese nation.
There are all kinds of teas. Tea trees are suitable for growing in tropical or subtropical areas, and belong to places with mild climate, abundant rainfall, high humidity, moderate light and fertile soil. China produces a large amount of tea, covering 20 provinces and regions. The specific processing that must be carried out after tea collection, including rolling, fermentation, drying, etc. These steps determine the color, aroma, taste and shape of all kinds of tea. Due to the different varieties of producing areas and production methods, many tea varieties have been produced in various places. According to the production method and quality, tea can be roughly divided into green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, black tea and scented tea.
Making tea is a skill, and tasting tea is a spiritual and material enjoyment. Let's start with making tea. Making tea seems simple. Actually, it's very particular Cao Xueqin has a very vivid description of making tea in A Dream of Red Mansions: Jia Mu, Baoyu, Daiyu and others came to the Jade Hall, and Miaoyu personally made tea for the guests. She soaked the "old man's eyebrows" for the grandmother with the rain accumulated in the old year and put them in a small colorful cover; Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai are treated differently. The water used for making tea is actually "the snow on plum blossoms collected five years ago, buried in the urn, and only opened this summer". Tea sets are all ancient antiques, and their exquisiteness is really eye-opening. Tea is the material basis for making good tea. Different teas have different tastes and functions. You can choose the right tea according to your own preferences and specific conditions. There must be a certain proportion between the amount of tea and the amount of water used, otherwise the brewed tea soup will be too strong and too weak. Water is the carrier of tea flavor and beneficial ingredients. The color, fragrance, taste and various nutritional and health-care substances of tea must be dissolved in water before it can be enjoyed by people. The Qing people said in the "Notes on the Plum Blossom Cottage":' Tea love must come from water, and eight points of tea, when it meets ten points of water, tea is also very good; Eight parts of water meets ten parts of tea, and tea is only eight parts. "So good tea must be mixed with water. Tea set can keep the fragrance and taste of tea, set off the color and shape of tea, and often has artistic appreciation value, so it is a link that can not be ignored when making tea. Especially when entertaining guests with tea, it is necessary to carefully select tea sets to reflect the enthusiasm and respect for the guests. There are many kinds of tea sets with their own characteristics, including porcelain tea sets, purple sand tea sets and glass tea sets. Porcelain tea sets, including white porcelain and celadon, do not absorb water and have moderate heat transfer and insulation. White porcelain tea set can accurately reflect the color of tea soup, and its appearance is often painted with patterns and patterns of various colors. Both white porcelain and celadon are very ornamental. The purple sand tea set is dense and hard, but it has certain air permeability, which can keep the true color of tea and is not easy to deteriorate in summer. Zisha tea set has slow heat transfer, which is neither hot nor conducive to heat preservation. In particular, it has a variety of shapes and high artistic value, which has become the new favorite of tea people and collectors in recent years. Glass tea sets are cheap and transparent. Used to brew famous teas such as Yinzhen and Biluochun. The soaked tea leaves stretch and roll in the water, which is very ornamental.
Say tea. The word "taste" contains the meaning of tasting, appreciating and carefully experiencing the spiritual and material enjoyment brought by tea. "Seven Bowls of Tea Poems" written by the Tang people said: "One bowl moistens the throat, two bowls are lonely and boring, and three bowls are boring, but there are only five thousand volumes of words. Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores. Five bowls are strong and light, and six bowls are fairy. I can't eat seven bowls, but my eyes are blowing gently. Penglai Mountain, where is it? Yuchuanzi wants to take this breeze to go home. " The experience of drinking tea can be said to be extreme. Except the first bowl is a physiological experience, the rest are psychological feelings. After drinking seven bowls of tea, he was already on cloud nine.
Tea tasting generally includes four links: smelling fragrance, distinguishing shape, observing color and tasting.
Smelling incense can be divided into dry smell, hot smell and cold smell. Smell the dry tea first. Some dry tea is fragrant, some sweet and some burnt, and it should be made before brewing. Hot smell is the smell of tea soup after brewing. Besides the fragrance of tea, scented tea has different natural floral scents. Cold sniffing is carried out after the tea farm is cooled, and then other smells that were originally covered by aromatic substances can be smelled.
Shape identification is to observe the shape changes of tea leaves after brewing, and the tea leaves are soaked in water. The original shape of fresh leaves has gradually recovered. Some famous teas with delicate raw materials have graceful bud leaves in the tea soup. After some teas are brewed, the bud leaves fluctuate and roll up and down in the cup, which is really beautiful.
Look at the color mainly to appreciate the color of tea soup. Tea soup will change color with the exudation of tea contents, often from shallow to deep; Different teas will form different colors. Some are yellow-green, some are orange-yellow, some are light red, some are deep red and so on. For the same kind of tea, the color of tea soup will be different because of the different tea sets and soaking water. White tea was expensive in Song Dynasty, and red tea cups were used to set off the color of tea. This practice of selecting tea by tea also promotes the development of tea set manufacturing technology.
Taste is to feel the wonderful taste of tea through the taste organs of the tongue. Different teas have different tastes, such as strong, clean, fresh and mellow, which will bring people different feelings.
All in all, what I want to say is that the study of floral art and tea ceremony makes me believe in beauty, create self-confidence, feel life and be grateful for life.
Floriculture and Tea Ceremony Experience II
Scent of flowers and tea. Camellia and tea ceremony classes have opened a door to experience China's traditional culture and peace of mind.
The art of flower arrangement stems from people's love for flowers, from people's love for life and from people's interpretation of life. Flower arrangement in China has a history of nearly 2000 years, which flourished in the Tang Dynasty, popularized in the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty and gradually declined in the Qing Dynasty. In modern times, due to war and other factors, it basically disappeared. Until recent years, with the continuous prosperity of the national economy, flower arrangement has returned to the lives of the broad masses of the people.
Flower arrangement is not a simple combination of flowers, but needs to move people with emotion, have both form and spirit, and integrate the understanding of life and the interpretation of art into flowers. Successful flower arrangement works can not only give people a pleasing first impression, but also give flowers a sense of life. Pay attention to the embodiment of artistic conception, the compactness is slightly different, leaving room for imagination. Flower arrangement is an artistic activity involving art, knowledge, aesthetics and emotion.
In the flower arrangement practice class, the teacher showed us the triangular flower arrangement on the spot, which left a deep impression on me, especially the teacher's sentence: "Art is made, not spoken!" Go deep into the core of flower arrangement art! In the admiration of the students, simple, steady and generous flower arrangement works appeared before our eyes. Several different flowers, such as Gerbera jamesonii, Lily, Puwei, Morning Glory and Rose, have become so full of vitality and sense of life through the perfect combination of teachers! The triangular insertion of Puwei leaves adds typical western European elements to this work full of oriental colors. Simple and generous, giving people a sense of stability and tranquility.
In class, many students also began to arrange flowers, although they were not very skilled and perfect. But the happy smiles on the students' faces are the most touching smiles. It is not a boring textbook or rigid knowledge. Being close to nature is happiness and happiness. The teacher took a moving moment with the camera. It's the students' happy event, not our happy event!
Without the pressure and worries of exams, flower arrangement can be said to provide an opportunity and platform for our contemporary college students to relax. Many of us are restless, and we have to be like this under all kinds of pressures, such as entering a higher school, taking part in the postgraduate entrance examination, getting a job, surviving and so on. Many of us are pursuing a lot, but we lose a lot unconsciously. Many people often value how many points I can get in this course and how many credits I have to wait for. In college, how many honors I can get, how many praises I can get, how many certificates and guarantees I can get for employment, we forget to care about our hearts and stop to buffer and wash our hearts.
Although the simple flower arrangement course has not been taken seriously by many people in all the courses in the university, in my opinion, this course is very meaningful. We should pay more attention to our hearts, our hearts. In the fierce competition with others, we should stop to look at ourselves and feel the nature we have forgotten for a long time, the flowers we have forgotten for a long time, and our concern for nature and everything. ......
