The Origin and Development of Tea

In the Book of Tea Six Drinks, it is pointed out that "tea is a drink, which originated from Shennong", and in the same book "Seven Things", it is proposed that "Huang San Yan Di Shennong" is the tea ancestor, and Shennong's Food Classic is quoted as saying that "tea is strong and pleasant".

Development:

Han Yi, a contemporary of Lu Yu, once wrote "Xie Tea Table" on behalf of Tian Shenyu, and one of the famous sentences said: "Wu presided over the ceremony and set tea; Jin Chen loves guests and gets tea. " The first sentence refers to the story that Sun Haomi, the Lord of Wu, gave tea instead of wine, and the second sentence refers to the fact that tea was given to friends.

This is a common custom of China literati, and it is also called "dividing sweetness" or "dividing grain". Some scholars confuse it with the unique tea art form of Song Dynasty. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, people still gave famous teas to friends in the form of "dividing tea", such as Shao Yong's Collection of Hitting Men, Volume 5, Xiecheng Sun Zhang Erhuijun Tea: "I still took the tea divided by two friends to the depths of the haze." This is an obvious example.

If suspicious people want to quench their thirst and relieve summer heat in summer, they should drink some hot tea, sweat and quickly disperse the heat in their bodies.

Step 2 protect yourself from the sun

Green tea contains a component called catechin, which has a strong antioxidant effect. Catechins extracted from green tea can support skin care products, which can help skin resist the damage of sunlight when applied to the skin. Of course, drinking green tea directly also has a sunscreen effect.
