Book Description
中国人很早就发现和利用茶了,茶“发乎神家氏,闻于鲁周公”,算起来已有四五千年的历史,人们对茶的利用也经历了从最初的药用、食用到饮用的过程。在茶的生产、加工和品饮过程中,茶与政治、经济、宗教、哲学、文学、艺术相互影响,渐渐形成了丰富多彩、独具特色的中华茶文化。特别是茶融入儒、道、佛三教后,中华茶文化的内涵变得更加丰富。如今茶已渗透到中国人生活的各个环节。茶作为自然界中的尤物,其特性与中国人中庸、平实的性情十分契合,无怪科茶会成为中国人必备的包饮料。从某种意义上说,茶是中华民族的象征。自茶与中国人结缘之后,历代文人、学者对茶都有不同程度的记载、描述及研究,为我们留下了宝贵的茶文化资料。
