The Tang Dynasty's Tea Classics said, "Tea comes from the Shennong."

The earliest tea drinking culture in China can be traced back to the Shennong era, and then evolved into the current tea art culture after thousands of years history.

On this Thursday, Qingdao Pegasus School held a tea ceremony cultural experience activity for teachers and students to listen to the thick stories of traditional culture as a "Cultural Lecture" activity.

In the melodious classical music, Tai Shuangying, the national first-class tea critic, began to introduce the origin of tea culture. At first, tea was used as a medicine with remarkable effects, and then gradually changed into eating and drinking.

Next, Ms. Tai explained the types of tea. According to the degree of fermentation, basic tea can be divided into white tea, green tea, yellow tea, Oolong tea, black tea and Dark tea, and taught audience to distinguish different kinds of tea from color, shape and taste.

Pegasus encourages school staff and students to experience and explore the diversity and splendor of world culture. There are clubs specifically for traditional Chinese painting and sculpture, and regularly cultural activities are held for teachers and students.

Through understanding the harmony but difference of world culture, we can deeply understand the traditional Chinese culture in our blood and learn to respect the differences and uniqueness of the world. It is hoped that our students can become inclusive inheritors and bridge builders in the cultural field of the world.
