有一个谜语:“人在草木中”,打一字,谜底是“茶”。茶者,南方之嘉木也。中国是茶的原产地,茶叶的故乡。早在春秋战国时期,我国就开始了人工栽培茶树,当时只是做药用,可是,后来这片神奇的叶子成了“琴棋书画诗酒茶”的“茶”,成了“柴米油盐酱醋茶”的“茶”,成了一种必需,成了一种精神旨趣的指向,成了一种文化。不过,即便是一些上了年纪的人们,在读高中的那个年龄也不一定喜欢这苦而且涩的饮品的,更何况现在的年轻人在饮料上有了那么多的选择。可是,又何妨透过这些美文,去看一看到底什么是茶,去看一看茶的后面到底有着怎样的世相、人情或者是文化呢? ——主持人 There is a riddle: “People are in the grass and trees,” a word, the answer is “tea.” Tea, southern Jiamu also. China is the origin of tea, the home of tea. As early as in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, China began to artificially cultivate tea trees. At that time, it was only used for medicinal purposes. However, this magical leaf became the “tea” of poetry, tea, poetry, and wine, and became a “chaiyang oil salt sauce and vinegar tea”. “Tea” has become a necessity, has become a spiritual purport, and has become a culture. However, even some elderly people do not necessarily like this bitter and astringent drink at the senior high school age. What’s more, young people nowadays have so many choices in beverages. However, why bother to use this kind of essay to see what is tea at the end and to see what kind of world, human or culture is behind the tea? - Host
