China Culture is strong and long lasting

Ancestor Worship and Divination (Shang and Zhou Dynasties) Two traditions that began in ancient China, and still continue today, are ancestor worship and divination. Ancestor worship means worshiping and praying to family members who lived before you, but are now dead. Ancestor worship was based on five main ideas: 1. The world is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and the underworld. All of these levels are connected to each other. 2. A person is not only connected to a father and mother, but all the relatives from the distant past . 3. The human body has two souls. One soul, called the hun, rises when a person dies. The other, called the po, becomes a ghost. 4. A person needs to offer gifts to their ancestors in heaven, to show respect. Most of these gifts include wine and meat. The gifts could be placed out in nature, perhaps at the bottom of a mountain or along a river. It was very important for the king to give these gifts, to ensure a good year ahead. They b...

Puer Teas(often revised sorry)

Puer: pronounced  (pronounced: poo-er) I love drinking it but I have avoided writing about the tea called Puer Tea, there is so much misinformation…There is so much confusion about defining and even spelling of it in English, as well as Chinese... Many people are now calling a “puer tea” any post fermented tea that comes not only from Puer city but all of Yunnan as well. I have had to revise this simple little article(now larger) because much of my info/resources were writing --pu'er pu-er and pu er Pu'Er and PuEr puer... so I decide to keep with the translating logic we have agreed on which is tries to make it readable in REAL English, in this case it was easy writing an I say majority rules (or at least you can keep more people happy) "puer puer pu'er pu er pu-er pu-erh puer puEr ,,,,,,enough I think you get the point.. this spelling frenzy causes problems for non-Chinese readers when doing searchers for information about @@PUER TEA@@, and I am also talking about in...

Tea history

Circa 2700 B.C. Chinese Emperor Shen Nung discovers tea Circa 725 B.C. T’ang Dynasty: Ch’a, tea in Chinese, becomes part of daily life 805 A.D. Dengo Daishi, Buddhist patron saint of Japanese Tea, introduces tea growing in Japan 1191 After centuries of neglect, the cultivation of tea in Japan is revived by the Buddhist Abbot Yesai, who subsequently published the first Japanese tea book. 1500 Ming Dynasty: in imitation of spouted wine earthenware, the first teapots were made at Yi-Xang, near Shanghai famous for its clays. Black, green and oolong tea become prevalent. 1610 Tea reaches Europe for the first time, carried by the Dutch from a trading station in Bantam, Java. They buy tea from Chinese merchants, who speak the Amoy dialect and therefore refer to the product as "Tea". 1623 The first annual public Japanese tea ritual, known as the "Tea Journey" is held. 1657 Garway’s Coffee house in London holds the first public sale of tea. Garway’s starts to advertise the ...
