"Besides butter and tea, what other ingredients are added to butter tea?"
The children raised their hands and answered, "There is also salt." This scene took place at the graduation tea party of the first children's tea art teacher training class held at the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on August 16.
The first graduation tea party of the children's tea art teacher training class
Self-created tea art display, children's tea art simulation class, gesture dance and recitation of tea poems... This special graduation tea party showcased the style of the first children's tea art teacher training class: "Tea virtue nourishes children's hearts, and tea ceremony has a legacy."
"In order to further strengthen the construction of the children's tea art training teaching team and enable young people in the new era to fully and scientifically understand Chinese tea and perceive tea culture, the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the China Tea Association jointly established a children's tea art teacher training class." Researcher Zhou Zhixiu, Director of the Tea Industry Development Strategy Research and Cultural Communication Center of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Executive Deputy Secretary-General of the China Tea Association, introduced. The "First Children's Tea Art Teacher Training Class" has received widespread attention since its launch, and more than 300 people from all over the country have signed up. "Our training method is small-class teaching, and the 44 people who passed the interview eventually became the first batch of students."
Children experience tea making
These 44 students come from all over the country and work in different industries. Some of them are national, provincial and municipal technical experts, some are front-line teachers in colleges and vocational colleges, and some are leaders from the public security, media, real estate and other industries. Pregnant mother Li Junni is one of the students. In such a special period, she participated in this course with expectations for future life and awe of traditional culture. She said: "In the process of learning, I am not only for myself, but also for my future baby. I hope to pass on the traditional culture of tea art through my own efforts." Student Zhou Xuan is a sixth-generation tea lover. "Although I have been engaged in the tea industry for many years and have a certain understanding of tea culture, I am still full of curiosity when facing the new children's tea art education. I hope to pass on the tea ethics and tea ceremony in a way that young people like and hear."
"Wide sources, young age, high education and strong skills are the labels and characteristics of the graduates." Jiang Renhua, director of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and chairman of the China Tea Association, expressed the hope that the students will "maintain confidence, uphold integrity and innovate" in the future, and bring tea into families, campuses and communities with love and responsibility, so that "the road to learning tea starts with Beibei", and the road to spreading Chinese tea culture will become wider and wider.
Gesture Dance of "A Country of Etiquette"
At the graduation tea party, Qi Helong, a national technical expert and student, demonstrated his own tea art "Chinese Tea", expressing the innovative spirit of the new generation of young people and their confidence in China's excellent traditional culture; "Sister Xiaoyi", the founder of Chinese children's gesture dance, led the students to perform the gesture dance "A Country of Etiquette", showing the beauty of Chinese etiquette; six children performed the children's tea poem gesture dance "Thoughts on Brewing Tea with Mountain Spring" and "Reading Tang Poems"; Wu Yumei, a national technical expert, brought the classic Yue Opera excerpt "Pagoda Poem".
Simulated Classroom - "Tea as Dowry"
It is worth mentioning that a unique simulated class, "Tea as Dowry", was held at the tea party, presenting a real scene of children's tea art teaching. In just 15 minutes, the children were "immersed" in it and learned tea knowledge at the same time.
"Carrying out tea art teacher training for children is a visionary, meaningful and innovative thing." Zhou Guofu, honorary president of the China International Tea Culture Research Association, said, "Training children to drink tea is actually planting a seed, influencing more people to drink tea, and jointly inheriting and promoting tea culture."
