By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea art, has become popular recently. Chang Zhifeng, an inheritor(传承人) of chabaixi, noticed from a TV show that many people showed great interest in this art.
Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bum boos and mountains. There are many steps, from grinding(磨碎) tea, pouring boil cd water, stirring(搅拌) the mixture, to finally drawing the pictures. After seven times of pouring water and stirring, there will be enough dark foam(泡沫). Then we can draw pictures on it with clear water and a stick. The process of drawing, or dlancha, must be finished in 20 minutes before the foam disappears.
"Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea art in China. It becomes popular not only because it is a special Chinese tradition, but also because it gives us a window to see people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty." Zhang said.
Years ago, this special art was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins(起源) of chabaixi in the 1980 s and brought the art back in 2009 after scars of sting and practicing. Chang thought it was really meaningful. In 2017, this art was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产).
"This art is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it disappear. It is our duty to pass it on," Zhang said.
① tiring the mixture ② grinding tea ③ drawing the pictures ④pouring boiled water

The most expensive "tiger" In 2010,a tiger painting by a Chinese artist Qi Baishi was sold at a price of $3.6 million in Hong Kong.Among only several tiger paintings made by Qi,this one was a birthday gift to his good friend Yang Hu.It is different from most China's tiger paintings because Qi painted this tiger from its back.But people can still feel how strong the tiger is without seeing its face. The loveliest "tiger" Tiger﹣head shoes are the traditional shoes for children in China.The name comes from the toe cap(鞋头) because it looks like the head of a tiger.In the north of China,people also call them cat﹣head shoes.They are mostly red and yellow.Chinese people make the tiger﹣head shoes for the kids and hope that their kids can be as strong as tigers. |
