中国饮茶方式的历史演进

Evolution of Chinese tea-drinking methods

中国饮茶方式历经了由唐以前的生煮羹饮、唐代的煎茶、宋代的点茶到明清瀹饮法的漫漫演进,中国饮茶方式的历史演变也是中华茶文化发展进程的缩影,也是中华茶文化的精华所在。

Before the Tang dynasty, the Chinese people made tea by boiling the fresh tea leaves and then drank like dranking soup. This method was employed till the Song dynasty, when tea was prepared by whipping, followed by the method of infusing loose tea leaves using hot water during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The long-term evolution of Chinese tea-drinking methods is an epitome of the development of Chinese tea culture, and the essence of the tea culture as well.
