It's common to see the coffee art, but have you seen the art in a cup of tea? This kind of tea art is called Dian Cha, a main tea drinking method in the Song Dynasty. The process of making it is not easy but people really enjoy Dian Cha especially because of the nice patterns on the surface of the tea.

The tea art begins with adding hot water over the fine powdered (粉末的) tea. This action creates a paste (糊状物) on the tea. Then add more water while whisking (搅动) it by hand with a bamboo whisk. It usually requires whisking about 200 times before the thick foam (泡沫) appears. Then, one can begin drawing. But drawing on the tea foam is not the same thing as drawing on the paper. One may use the hard teaspoon against the soft foam, which requires great attention. Unlike normal spoons, the teaspoon used in Dian Cha is quite thin and has a pointed end to help to draw, just like a pen.

In the Song Dynasty, many famous people regarded Dian Cha as an important free-time activity. Emperor Song Huizong even wrote a book called Treatise on Tea which included some details of tea-whisking. According to the book, good tea should be white and fine. The better the tea was, the whiter it should be, and the longer the foam should last.

In 2019, Dian Cha was listed as a cultural heritage (遗产) in Zhenjiang, China. A growing number of people now want to learn and spread this traditional skill. Han Zheming, a designer from Shanghai, has created nearly 200 images on the tea and put the process of Dian Cha online. "I want more people to understand and appreciate the beauty of Dian Cha." Han says.

The history of tea begins with Shennong. Legend said that tea was discovered by Shennong in 2, 732 B. C/by accident. At the beginning, tea was used as a medicine to make people stay awake. Tea became a wider drink in people's everyday life in the Tang Dynasty. A lot of tea trees were planted in many places and the tea culture developed fast. The Song Dynasty is another important period for the development of tea. Tea became a symbol of spirituality(精神) and books, poems, and paintings about tea were popular in the whole country. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people could plant tea trees freely. There were more kinds of tea including green tea, flower tea, oolong tea and black tea. The making process of tea had been improved and it also influenced the drinking styles of tea. 

Over the long history of tea drinking, a special Chinese tea culture formed. When we talk about Chinese tea culture today, we shouldn't miss Lu Yu, "the Sage of Tea" for his achievements in Chinese tea culture. Lu Yu wrote Cha Jing between 760 and 780. The book describes early Tang Dynasty tea culture and explains how to grow and prepare tea. 

Tea culture has come a long way and continues to be a valuable tradition. Tea is always made and offered to a guest or friend in China. Serving tea is more than a matter of politeness, it is a symbol of togetherness and a sharing of something enjoyable. 

Tea has played an important role in shaping the traditions and customs of many cultures. For example, in Europe, tea has become a beloved cultural tradition, and the tradition of afternoon tea remains a popular part of European culture.
