It's common to see a barista(咖啡师) create coffee art,but it's a whole different art doing same thing with tea.Han Zheming has managed to perfect the skill,creating tea art in cups,or dian cha,which could be traced back to the Song Dynasty.
Over the past six years,the 40-year-old Shanghai resident has used tea and spoons to create nearly 200 patterns based on ancient paintings."It's like adding bells and whistles to tea and giving people a stronger sense of occasion,so drinking tea is more fun,"Han says.His intention is to bring the ancient culture back to modern life and have more people appreciate its charm.
Dian cha in modern production betters the taste of tea.The action of pouring hot water is called dian,hence the name dian cha,which was listed as an intangible(非物质的)cultural heritage of Runzhou district, Zhenjiang city,Jiangsu province."It is like how you mix baby formula with water,"Han says,"It usually requires whisking the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully mixed and the froth(泡沫) appears."Then,one can take the liberty of making artistic designs in the froth with the mixed tea paste.Usually,the whole process has to be completed within 10 minutes.The ideal state is when the tea temperature is around 40℃.It was through trial and error that Han got going.
He put the process on social media platforms,including Little Red Book,Bilibili and Douyin.He has more than 20,000 followers on Little Red Book,and some of his videos have received more than 300,000 views.To date,more than 100 people have visited him to learn the technique.
"As well as the poems,calligraphy and paintings that were created back then,I want more people to understand the items used by people to drink tea,and the reasons behind the ways they prepared tea,"he says.
