Chapter 151 The Song Dynasty Times Weekly (End) Third update
Since the Song Dynasty, tea drinking has been prevalent.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji was also an excellent tea person. He even made a "Daguan Tea Theory" and specially commented on the name of tea.
As the tea drinking trend spread, from scholars and officials to civilians, they developed the custom of fighting tea.
The so-called tea fighting is a tea activity that evaluates the quality of tea and compares the pilot tea skills. This activity was formed on the basis of the "Shencha" drinking method in the Tang Dynasty, with extremely strong aesthetic taste, and is the favorite activity of the scholars and officials.
In the Song Dynasty, there was also a saying that drinking tea was "a prosperous and pure scholar".
During the Xuanhe period, because Song Huizong was fighting for tea, he was even more sought after by countless people.
According to historical records, Song Huizong himself was a master of tea making, and few people could match it at that time.

Yu Yin suddenly realized why this teahouse charges so expensive.
I'm afraid it was caused by the female doctor in front of me.
Here, not for drinking tea, but for appreciating the talent of this tea doctor, and even more for savoring a kind of elegant and elegant style. No wonder I dare to charge such a fee. Those who can drink tea here probably wouldn't bow down for the rice.
At the beginning of tea making, there was a saying of "three smells".
This is also the first procedure for making tea. The so-called three-sniff means sniffing the fragrance, taste and color identification before cooking.
Since Jianxi tribute tea can be named "tribute tea", it has a good grade.
Yu Yin swallowed and looked at Li Yifeng.
But when Li Yifeng seemed to have not realized it, he whispered to Gao Yaoqing.
Gao Yaoqing frowned at first, then smiled slightly, and nodded.
He waved and signaled a escort in green not far away to come. After whispering a few words in the ear, the escort took a piece of his waist and left in a hurry. It seemed that Li Yifeng told Gao Yaoqing about Ling Zhen...
This guy was so happy that he didn't even say anything to him and sent someone out.
Sure enough, Gao Yaoqing had just sat down, and Li Yifeng nodded to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin bowed to Gao Yaoqing without saying anything. At this time, he was just in response to a sentence: Silence is better than sound at this time.
But Yu Yin was still a little surprised. Why did Zhu Xuan treat himself to tea?
Zhu Xuan didn't say anything, and looked stable.
Yu Yin simply didn't speak, just sat quietly to nourish her body.
The female doctor named Guoguo took the tea, put it in a jade plate, and handed it to Zhu Xuan. However, Zhu Xuan didn't look at it, pointed at Yu Yin, and then made a gesture of solemn greeting: Xiao Yi was the one who smelled tea in three ways.
This is a school exam!
Yu Yin immediately understood the meaning of eating tea this time.
Zhu Xuan probably didn't want to listen to his creativity in opening a newspaper, but wanted to know if Yu Yin had the qualifications to do this.
Opening a newspaper should be a very elegant and extremely serious thing in the hearts of Li Yifeng and others.
Although Yu Yin is talented, he is ultimately a butcher.
What he will face in the future is likely to be the civil servant system of the Song Dynasty. I want to know whether you have the ability to handle this matter with me. I guess this is Zhu Xuan’s real intention, but it makes Yu Yin feel ridiculous.
The Song Dynasty began to prosper, and it was even more said to be equal and fair.
But this class has existed since ancient times, how can it be truly equal?
Guoguo smiled and presented the jade plate to Yu Yin.
But Yu Yin shook his head and said softly: "Sanyin should be in the morning of the day. Wen Ding Gong once said: I feel that the threeyins are too much in the morning. Haha, now it has been noon. Even if the tea is good in front of me, I am afraid I can't taste the real taste."
Duke Wen Ding is Su Che.
"Young Master Yu is very knowledgeable."
As soon as Guoguo opened her mouth, she brought a kind of gentleness unique to women in Jiangnan.
Although she was speaking Kaifeng, she still had some Wu Yue accent, which was quite pleasant.
She took off the jade plate and clenched her high-fives, and someone brought a bucket of water.
"This water is picked from the mountain colostrum in the morning. How many of you should taste it?"
Water is very particular about tea making.
In later generations, although some people were particular about water when drinking tea, most of them were chosen by wealthy families. People like Yu Yin did not have that ability. So although he was good at tea, he mostly savored books to feel the true taste of the tea.
If you really want to eat the kind of tea that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, Yu Yin could only be in a dream in his previous life.
Therefore, he didn't know much about water, so he shook his head and showed that there was no need to taste it. Anyway, Guoguo had already said that this tea is mountain spring colostrum, so I think it would be fine. Otherwise, how could this Yuzi Tea House be so expensive to survive?
You get what you pay for!
After watching the water, according to the rules of tea making, you have to look at the tea flavor.
However, Zhu Xuan has already said that it is Jianxi tribute tea, so the tea recipe does not need to be carried out again.
Next is Douzhan, which is what I usually call tea sets.
In Song Huizong's "Theory of Tea in Daguan", there are chapters that specifically describe tea cups, so when fighting tea, they also attach great importance to the choice of tea cups. Generally speaking, several or more tea sets are often placed for tea cups to choose from.
Similarly, today is mainly about tea tasting, so this tea cup has been prepared long ago without wasting your mind.
The tea cup used by Guoguo is a Jianzhang produced by Jianzhou Kiln. It is also the best tea cup used in the Song Dynasty. It is said that it is expensive.
Yu Yin only felt dizzy when he saw it.
I smiled bitterly in my heart: Just drinking tea, why is it so troublesome?
This is also the reason why his mind and nature are influenced in his previous life. If this era is in this long process, it is also a process of appreciating a person's cultivation and mind. In later society, except for those few people, who has the time to get rid of his temperament here?
Fortunately, Yu Yin's temperament has been tempered. Although she is a little irritable, her face is still as calm as usual.
Only after completing this series of procedures can it be considered the real beginning.
At this time, it is time to test the art of fruit fruits... The tea art of the Song Dynasty was divided into tea and tea division. Tea is the most popular technique today, including roasting tea, grinding tea, Luo tea, baking cups, hou soup, whisk, cooking tests and other procedures. This process is even more troublesome than the foreplay and can be more harsh.
For example, roasted tea, it means baking aged tea on a light heat to achieve a strong, fresh color and mellow taste.
Guoguo had already prepared the tools and baked the tea on a light heat, with a very focused look.
"Xiao Yi...oh, don't blame me for calling you that."
Zhu Xuan suddenly spoke, breaking the previous tranquility.
This is also a custom when tasting tea. When tea-shoppers start to be busy, others can discuss things while waiting. This is called work and entertainment. Many officials like to discuss things at this time.
Yu Yin hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhu, don't be polite, why would Xiao Yi behave in trouble?"
"Don't ask the young master to call me, Dalang and Sanlang, both call me Twenty-six Lang, and Xiao Yi will call me the same name."
Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "When Dalang and his friends opened a Kaifeng residence to report, I didn't know that this was Xiao Yi's idea. So this time I invited Xiao Yi to come, I wanted to ask Xiao Yi, how should I handle this Kaifeng residence report?"
Sure enough, the topic is here.
Yu Yin thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's not good to report this name in Kaifeng Palace."
"Well?"
Li Yifeng couldn't help but say, "Why is it not good?"
“It’s too dull and has limitations.
Your newspaper is named Kaifeng, which destined many people to lose interest. The word "Dibao" is even more trouble for the boss. Think about it, since it is a Dibao, why should I spend money to see you? You can go to the palace gate to watch it.
So the four words "Kaifeng Palace News" have been bad from the beginning."
"Xiao Yi means..."
“Change your name!”
“How to change?”
"Xiao Di has been thinking about this matter these days.
After thinking about it, I really came up with a name, and asked Dalang and Twenty-sixlang to comment. What about it? It is called "The Song Dynasty Weekly"?"
"Song Dynasty Weekly?"
Li Yifeng and Zhu Xuanwen were stunned when they heard this, and Gao Yaoqing was also interested.
"The Song Dynasty is my Song Dynasty... In this name, everything related to my Song Dynasty can be reported, from the changes in the court to the trivial matters of the lives of ordinary people in the market; inside, from the territory of my Song Dynasty, outside, there are foreign tribes adjacent to my Song Dynasty, and outside, they cannot be reported. In this way, this content covers a lot, making people feel more atmospheric."
"Well said!"
Gao Yaoqing couldn't help but exclaim: "To be honest, you have read the Kaifeng Palace News twice. Just looking at the name, you find it uninteresting. The content inside is also very confusing, mostly replayed in the old tune, and there is no new meaning.
So after watching it twice, I didn't want to watch it again.
But the name Xiao Yi sounds so generous. If I don’t know, I will definitely buy it.”
Li Yifeng's old face turned red and he said, "You know what you know. We call Kaifeng Palace News, which naturally has a deep meaning. If you follow Xiao Yi's statement, you can report everything, will it reduce your taste?"
Yu Yin smiled!
"Dalang thought, who else would buy this newspaper besides the officials in the court?"
"this?"
“This is the problem of positioning.
Mr. Fan Wenzheng once said: If you live in a high temple, you will worry about the people; if you live in a far-reaching world, you will worry about the king. Officials should be concerned about the people. Therefore, the living conditions of the people today can be seen from the trivial matters of the market, as well as their mentality and emotions. Isn’t this what officials should pay attention to? In addition, there are also students of the Tai, academy students, merchants, peddlers, and barons. They are also concerned about the court and have never forgotten their worries about the country because of their low position.
So our newspapers cover everything from the beginning.
Those with high positions can understand the sufferings of the people; those with low positions can also be the hard work of the wise king.
Times are generations! Didn’t the Tang poet Gao Shi write a poem about “The times plant peaches and plums, and no one cares about this lord”? In addition to expressing our beautiful expectations for the Song Dynasty to last for generations, the word “As a sequel to the times” is also close to the times. People say that ten years are a generation, and everything we comment on and report on is closely related to the Song Dynasty.
This is also our initial expectation!
As for the word "weekly"...haha, it means the time when we publish it.
Seven days are a week, and we publish an issue every seven days. Isn’t it easier for readers to master?
The Song Dynasty Weekly is both grand and appropriate. What do you think?”
After Yu Yin finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Li Yifeng and Zhu Xuan looked at each other, and there was excitement in their eyes.
"The Song Dynasty Weekly, this name is called!"
After the two of them said that, they smiled at the same time.
Yu Yin also smiled but said nothing, while Gao Yaoqing was standing beside him, showing a thoughtful look: Song Dynasty Time Weekly? It's really appropriate!
