As the most popular drink in the world (after water), tea is no stranger to us. But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know that they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are mentioned.
The tea sets in the Tang Dynasty were simple while the ones in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). In the Song Dynasty, the competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck, and a curved (弧形的) mouth, which could control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then. The color matches the tea better and the thickness of the cup can help keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple again, and those made of gold and silver gradually disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu flourished and were loved widely. It is said that tea made by Yixing's purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.

In Spanish, the word "mañana" means tomorrow. You might, for example, hear it from a student who decides to put off doing his homework only because he wants to watch a show all evening.
This is just something that many people do — procrastination (拖延). They always think it is no big deal. It is just a way to put off doing things. But if procrastination happens all the time, it may have a bad influence on both their mental (心理) health and physical health.
Why do people procrastinate? Usually, it's believed that it is because they can't manage their time well. However, the key is that they are not able to manage their feelings. When they procrastinate, there is always something they don't like about a certain activity. By procrastinating, they feel relaxed right away. Sadly, the feeling never continues. At last, procrastination will make them worried.
So how can we fight procrastination? One of the best ways is to break down a project into smaller parts and work step by step. Before we even think about putting them off, we've already finished all of them. In this way, we can get a whole project finished long before mañana comes!
