Widely known in Chinese history as a fortuitous discovery of Shennong (\u795e\u519c), a renowned Chinese legendary chieftain and respected physician in the far ancient times, tea had been mentio<em><\/em>ned in the old Chinese medical work &quot;Herbal Classic (\u672c\u8349\u7ecf)&quot;, which was written in the 1st century.<\/p>\n<p>  &quot;Tea Classic&quot;, the first work a<em><\/em>bout tea in the world written by Lu Yu (733-804, the &quot;Chinese Tea Saint&quot; living in Tang Dynasty), represents that not o<em><\/em>nly did Chinese tea play an essential part in diet but also tea culture seeped into all aspects of people&#8217;s daily life, e.g. poetry, painting, calligraphy, religion, medicine. Nowadays in China a great deal of knowledge a<em><\/em>bout tea is still treated as invaluable patrimony, tea is still a common drink on the table and it has even become an ideal present when people host or visit others.<\/p>\n<p>  Used as medicine at the very beginning and then cooked with other food as diet, tea was not made by soaking tea-leaves with hot water until Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), which is the most common way of making tea in China today. However, there are still some differences in making teas due to the varieties of the tea-leaves. It is a common sense to make a cup of tea by filling hot water into the cup with instant or small-bag tea-leaves, but it is widely co<em><\/em>nsidered to be a better way to make mellow tea by soaking tea-leaves with hot water in a teapot for some time (5-10 minutes or longer, depending on perso<em><\/em>nal preference). Tea-leaves are usually discarded after being soaked o<em><\/em>nce or twice.<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2269527028\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese tea(\u4e2d\u56fd\u8336 Zh\u014dnggu&oacute; ch&aacute;) has been being developed in China for a long time accompanied with which a series of<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,16],"tags":[118],"class_list":["post-6336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-culture","category-traditional-chinese-festivals","tag-culture"],"views":187,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
