Shang Na: A family environment that focuses on traditional culture inheritance is vital to the growth of a child. I am the lucky child. Influenced by my father, I have been interested in the culture of the Song Dynasty, represented by tea since I was a child.

The so -called tea ordering is to grind the tea cake into the end, put it in the cup, inject hot water, then hit it through the tea, make tea milk, and then drink. The essential of ordering tea is the coordination of the wrist and arm, and continuously adjusts the strength and water injection by observing the changes in the tea soup. You need to focus on it in one go. Then you can use the adjusted tea cream to paint on the tea milk. From the beginning of the presenter, tea to tea book tea painting, and tea, the time must be controlled at about 1000 seconds, and the temperature of the tea soup can just be imported.

In the book of Song Huizong's "Grand View Tea Theory", there is a detailed description of the tea process, so this is also known as Song Huizong's "Qi Tang Dian Tea Method". In the history of Chinese tea culture, only the Song Dynasty raised tea from "quality" to the romantic state of "playing". The Song Dynasty was also a dynasty that pushed tea etiquette and aesthetics to peaks. From the emperor, to the people, all of them used tea and tea to fight for music. China's unique tea culture also reached the realm of reaching the peak in the Song Dynasty.

Shangna's Yatong Culture Studio is located in a small building in a two -story building in Huiji District, Zhengzhou, less than 4 kilometers from the Yellow River. Entering the studio, a few tea chairs are placed on the west side of the main hall on the first floor. Turn on the sight. You can see a little flower arrangement and hanging painting, and then walk inside. , Repairing the ancient porcelain ... The dazzling small objects are surrounded by one space.

It is the lady in the blue crane dance robe in front of this elegant space. Today, Yatongwen will become a flag bearer that spreads the culture of the Song Dynasty. In public cultural exchange areas such as libraries, art galleries, and campuses in Zhengzhou, they may find the figures of Yatongwen Association. , Introduce tea to the world.

Shang Na: The aesthetics of the Song Dynasty is one of the world's recognized Chinese symbols and the wisdom of Chinese wisdom. However, our presentation method is still in terms of text, cultural relics, and ruins. It seems to have a certain distance from people's lives.

I have a sense of mission that to discover the practicality of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty according to my professional expertise, and integrate them as a cultural cognition that can be immersed. Therefore, I was enthusiastic about the establishment of the Yatongwen Association to be a practitioner of ancient times. At the same time, I hoped to combine the needs of the times and the country to be committed to the transformation of cultural value.

Based on many years of hobbies and accumulation, Shang Na decided to combine traditional culture with professional teaching. In 2020, Shang Na opened a public election class for "Elegant Acts for the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty" at Henan University of Technology. Shang Na underestimated the popularity of this course. This course has become one of the most popular public classes in the school. Lowed classrooms are often full of hundreds of people.

Shang Na: In daily teaching, I will take students to do some project practice of rural revitalization and integration of cultural tourism. In this process, I find the importance of cultural revitalization and design empowerment. In order to increase the cultural heritage of young people, I set up a public class "Elegant Activity of the Song Dynasty Aesthetics". The purpose was to mobilize students from different majors in 22 colleges in the school to immerse themselves to experience traditional aesthetics and enhance their awareness of traditional culture. In order to highlight the "activation experience", I will arrange the first lesson of each semester in my tea room, using tea as the media, and open a door for students to appreciate the culture of the Song Dynasty. The popularity of this course far exceeds my expectations. Each semester students are "squatting and grabbing". They are open to the school selection systems next to the computer and other schools. The classes are usually "not in seconds."

I did not expect that a course could cause such a wonderful response to students. Some students combined their professional knowledge to make the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty "live", and even affected their learning direction and postgraduate employment direction. Some students take the initiative to join the volunteer team of Yatongwen Association to engage in cultural promotion.

In the process of digging the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, Shang Na realized the value of "experience" and "life" to cultural communication. To this end, she launched a variety of interesting experience cultural exchange experience activities with "Song Huizong Qi Tang Dian Tea" as its main cultural carrier, three -dimensional showing the incense, tea, flowers, and painting "Siya" in the three -dimensional display. "Song Food", "Song Fu", "Song Ci", "Song Porcelain" and other fields.

Shang Na: "Tea" is a clear label for the Chinese. Once I went abroad to participate in the event, I was wearing a tea suit. In the absence of speaking or writing, everyone defaults that I am Chinese. This gives me a kind of motivation to recognize my culture and spread to the world.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty culture spread, many people just felt fresh, stayed in a simple listening, and looked at it from a distance. Today, many ancient elegance such as incense, tea, flower arrangement, and hanging paintings have become part of modern life. Like many of my students, they often use tea party friends to get a new tea. They will invite friends to taste together on weekends. When they go to friends' homes, they will bring a pack of tea as a gift. Very tide and fashionable.
