? The theory of five elements is a theory used by the ancients to explain the interrelation, mutual nourishment and mutual restriction of all things, so as to achieve ecological balance, which is similar to the current harmonious coexistence and complementary ecosystem of biodiversity on the earth. The five elements refer to the complex relationship between the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The five elements of fire, water and soil in Jin Mu correspond to five colors: white, green, black, red and yellow. Since ancient times, China people have been pursuing five colors for health preservation, just to pursue the balance of five elements and achieve the goal of human health. The principle is to promote the harmony of human five elements. As long as the five elements are harmonious, the body will naturally be healthy, and drinking tea can achieve the best health care effect.
? Chen Zhi's book "Qin Shou Lao Ji" in the Song Dynasty recorded: "Everything on land and water is a diet, regardless of thousands of products. Its five qi and five flavors, cold and heat, and tonic nature are all due to the trip of Yin and Yang, which is no different from medicine. If people know their eating habits and use them, they will win over the medicine. It is better to manage the medicine than to manage the eater. " According to the five elements, the importance of a balanced diet is further explained.
? Lu Yu's Tea Classic: "Tea drinkers are the first in the south", and the opening words are the finishing touch. Description: Camellia is a wood. This wood is feminine and lively, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, nourishing the aura of mountains and rivers, and nourishing the soil and water. Spring is full, the winter tomb, the Oriental Qinglong, is in the earthquake position. The tea mentioned here mainly refers to tea trees, not finished tea. As a kind of wild plant, tea tree has become a beverage after being processed by people, and its properties have undergone fundamental changes. In other words, tea also has five elements. Black tea belongs to water, green tea belongs to wood, black tea belongs to fire, yellow tea belongs to earth and white tea belongs to gold. From tea leaves to tea products, when making, deactivation, drying and redrying all belong to fire; It is made of steel, including tin foil and tin cans. It belongs to gold. Put the tea leaves on the ground to dry, including packaging and brewing with ceramics, which belongs to the soil; The biggest function is brewing. Water is the mother of tea. Good tea needs good water. You can't make tea without water. Therefore, a cup of tea is a complete world of five elements, and Jin Mu is indispensable.
? Throughout the history of tea treatment, Chen Zangqi in Tang Dynasty said in Compendium of Materia Medica that "tea is the medicine for all diseases". Su Jing's newly revised Materia Medica lists tea as a woody product, which is sweet and bitter, slightly cold and non-toxic. Its functions include reducing qi, eliminating phlegm, clearing away heat and quenching thirst, reducing sleep, eliminating overnight meals, diuresis and treating anal ulcer. Later generations of physicians have been adhering to their theories and constantly exploring the medicinal effects of tea. For example, in the Book of Tea, Fijian said, "Its nature is fine and clear, its taste is luxurious and clean, its use is annoying, and its work is harmonious. Participating in hundreds of products without mixing, the more people drink, the higher. " Then the efficacy of tea is raised to abstract spiritual perception, and the healthy significance of tea is positively affirmed. Another example is the rapid development of tea industry in Song Dynasty, and the application method and treatment scope of tea as a traditional Chinese medicine are gradually expanding. There is an article on medicinal tea in Taiping Huimin Hejiju Prescription. The focus turned to the application of tea production technology and drinking method in prescription. Therapeutic tea, a traditional Chinese medicine, has taken a new step in its development.
? With the highly developed social civilization and the integration of various ideas in the Tang and Song Dynasties, tea ceremony culture came into being. In the process of its formation and development, tea ceremony culture and the theory and practice of regulating the spirit and keeping in good health of traditional Chinese medicine interact with each other. After years of precipitation, the tea ceremony health preservation method centered on tea has been established.
? Born in the mountains, reborn in a pot, hidden in a teapot and resurrected in a cup, this is the life journey of tea. It is the five-element cycle of tea: born in soil, longer than wood, died in pot, met people who know tea, born in water, died in pot, and finally stayed in people's hearts. Tea is compatible with the essence of yin and yang and five elements through repeated birth, attack, combination and gain. This is the root of many health benefits of tea.
China is a country of tea, and China people spread the magic oriental tea, the greatest leaf, to the whole world, benefiting all corners of the country. This is our important contribution to the world and our great happiness to the world. It not only makes tea the oldest drink in the world, but also the healthiest drink in the world. It not only makes tea the most consumed beverage in the world, but also the greatest beverage in the world. For a long time, the country has enjoyed the fragrance of tea, and its attitude towards tea reflects our confidence in the country.
? Life is like tea, tea is like life. A cup of tea, a small onion cage, full of fragrance. Zen: A glass of life. After reading it, the glass of water was full of enthusiasm, and I wanted to stop talking, knowing from the beginning. Looking up and down in a leaf, writing many touching stories of scholars; Silently blended in cups of drinks, showing many touching health stories; In the five-element cycle of tea, many people's life stories have been realized.
? Tea is the purest love that nature gives to mankind!
