如果说中国茶的潮流方向,那一开始就是东部或者说是江南的。茶的原产地虽然在西部,但茶文化的兴起却在东部。唐朝饮茶开始成为习俗,也就此产生了茶文化。中国茶文化的产生,一般以陆羽的《茶经》为标志。陆羽是位湖北人,《茶经》中所载的茶,也大多是东部和江南的茶,所以,中国茶文化一产生就沾上了东部和江南的味道。中国茶文化成熟于两宋。两宋的文化,以地域来讲,主要是东部文化和江南文化。所以,成熟了的中国茶文化,东部和江南的潮味更重。 If we say the trend of Chinese tea, the beginning is the east or the south. Although the origin of tea in the west, but the rise of tea culture is in the east. Tang Dynasty tea began to become a custom, but also produced a tea culture. The emergence of Chinese tea culture is generally marked by Lu Yu’s “Tea Sutra”. Lu Yu is a native of Hubei Province. Tea contained in The Book of Tea is mostly also tea in the east and south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, as soon as Chinese tea culture came into being, it was smeared with the eastern and southern flavors. Chinese tea culture is mature in Song Dynasty. The two Song culture, by geographical terms, is mainly the eastern culture and southern culture. Therefore, the mature Chinese tea culture has a heavier tide in the east and the south.
