Cooking weapon a thousand years ago

Tea is a psychic grass. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was used for medicinal medicine, and it was small in tea -producing areas south of the Yangtze River. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has gradually become a fashion, sweeping throughout the country, far from the frontier.

The collection of notes in the Tang Dynasty, "Feng's News", described the tea drinking situation at the time: "Drinking tea ears according to the ancients, but it is not as drowned today. "Outside".

People in the Tang Dynasty were addicted to tea and drank fiercely, from morning to late. Tea, like rice and salt, is the life of people in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there were four main types of tea, "drinking rough tea, loose tea, last tea, cake tea" ("Tea Scripture Six Drinks"). Although these four kinds of tea, although there are old and tender materials, the shape of the shape is the same, in fact, the production method is the same, all of which belong to steamed green tea.

People first dry the tea and dry them, then screened them into tea at the bottom of the tea, then put the tea in the pan and cook it, stir it with a bambooware, and add salt to season. This is the most popular tea method in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty painter Yan Liben's "Xiao Yi Earning Lan Ting Tu" (Song Yingben) is now hidden in the Taipei Palace Museum. The painter depicts the scene of the Tang Dynasty fried tea.

After the tea soup, the drum waves are divided into five bowls and drink while hot. Interestingly, at the time, people also added sauces such as green onions, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc., and "boiled" with tea. Although this approach has not been recognized by the tea Saint Lu Yu, he described the "abandoning water ear" drinking tea in this way, but then he had to admit that "the custom is endless." In fact, this kind of tea drinking has long been the most popular among the people.

In addition, when encountering cool heat, the Tang Dynasty people will make tea into tea porridge. Presumably the bitterness of tea can dissolve the sultry of the summer.

The Tang Dynasty Chu Guangxi wrote in the poem:

When the day is strong, the birds are quiet.

Nian Jun Gao Wuyin, resolved the mountain clothes.

Several distant clouds, once did not block Yanhui.

Drive the tea porridge, share me with rice fern.

It was not far away, and the sun returned slowly.

During the day, the birds were so hot that the birds were so hot that the poets took off and resolved, and they fled to the shade of the sycamore. Even so, it is difficult to escape the heat. At this time, come to a bowl of tea porridge, sip bitterness, clear heat and relieve heat.

When "birds are not flying", the poet obtained a moment of coolness and comfort in tea porridge.
