I started drinking tea only after I arrived in Guangzhou.
The beginning of tea are cousin take me to buy tea in Fangcun tea market, cousin to buy tea, especially interesting, he is sitting down to first taste, and then and the boss of the gossip, so that the side of the tea and chat, and then buy and drink the taste of tea, go a few times, I began to sneak around on their own. I also learn from my cousin's model, and the boss together with the test tea tasting tea, I now drink white tea, is that time to taste.
Song poet Liu Xueji's "Drunken Song" in the white tea and snow has been juxtaposed: "white tea shine people with ice and snow". The meaning is that the white tea soup color icy clear can be reflected in the figure like ice and snow.
White tea is not only the color of the tea broth is icy and clean, the tea aroma is also fresh and cold, it is really a few points of the nature of the snow.
Since ancient times, snow has been a very auspicious natural phenomenon for both the literati and the common people. What "snow is an omen of a good year", "winter wheat cover three layers of quilt, the next year sleep on the pillow buns". According to traditional customs, snow in winter is a sign of good weather in the coming year.
In addition, the snow also has a very elegant and beautiful symbols, symbolizing the pure and flawless people, noble and magnificent character, rather than bend the backbone and so on, for example, "the plum must be inferior to the snow three points white, snow, but lose a section of the fragrance of the plum" "the corner of the number of branches of the plum, the cold alone to open! ", the appearance of snow is always side by side with the plum than standing, can be said that the snow is a symbol of good luck.
This picture is in Luogang Xiangxue Park, since I came to Guangzhou, the second year, every year after New Year's Day when the plum blossoms bloomed I have to go to Xiangxue Park to enjoy the plums, the name of the park once again for the snow and the plums stand shoulder-to-shoulder to do a clear proof of it.
In addition, the snow also has a lot of elegant aliases: fairy algae, silver millet, jade luan, jade dust, cold crisp, Xuanhua, Ruiye, cold Ying, condensed rain, silver sand, flying flowers, agar chip, jade sand, agar Hua, jade flowers, six out of flowers, jade moth and so on.
All these names make us fully feel the purity and high purity of snow.
Now, it is the time when the snow falls frequently in the north, and I can only miss the snow in the bright sun of the south. At this time, I suddenly remembered Lin Qingxuan's article called "The Face of Snow":
At the equator, an elementary school teacher tried hard to explain the form of "snow" to the children, but no matter how he said, the children could not understand.
The teacher says, "Snow is pure white.
The child then guesses that snow is like salt
The teacher says that snow is cold.
So the children guess: snow is like ice cream.
The teacher said: snow is something coarse.
So the children guessed: snow is like sand.
The teacher was never able to tell the children what snow was, and finally, when he gave a test, he asked the question "snow", and several children answered: "Snow is yellowish sand that tastes cold and salty.
Now I am also the same as the children of the equator, and can no longer use my hands to feel the cold coarseness of the snow, and use my eyes to appreciate the snow in front of me to rotate and dance, and even use my mouth to taste its refreshing sweetness.
I can only go in my mind to find once burned negatives, I do not know when I again in the north of the sky flying snowflakes, I will not be hot tears, for those I once in the snow in the song and ecstasy.
White tea is clear and mellow, like the elegance of the South; white snow is clear and crisp, precisely the bitter cold of the North.
Just like a person, when he was the world smoothed his biting edges, he would say this:
Snow foam milk flower floating noon marquee
The human world has a taste for pure happiness
