One example is “Dian Cha” (点茶), a special tea art. People make patterns on tea. People started doing this in the Song Dynasty (朝代). It shows Chinese people have always cared about the taste and the appearance of tea. Han Zheming, a 40-year-old man from Shanghai, has used tea powder (粉末) and spoons (勺子) to create almost 200 traditional-style patterns on tea. “The steps of Dian Cha are simple. First, put some tea powder into a cup and carefully pour in hot water. Second, stir it with a bamboo whisk (拂). Third, quickly stir it many times until bubbles appear. When a thick foam (泡沫) forms, you can start to make patterns with a spoon.” Han said, “About Dian Cha, the key is to practice moving your wrist (手腕) and arm together. You need to stir it 180 to 200 times before the water and tea mix well and make small bubbles. Then, you can make patterns. You must be careful but fast before the bubbles disappear.” After thousands of practice he finally succeeded. But the pattern on tea only lasts for an hour. It’s a short-lived art. He has shown his art of Dian Cha on Bilibili. More than 20, 000 people have followed him on Xiaohongshu, and some of his videos have got over 300,000 views (观看). Han Zheming said, “I want to show everyone the Song Dynasty culture through a cup of tea.” 37. Why do Chinese people create patterns on tea? A. To improve the beauty of tea drinking. B.
