Tea, tea culture from central China showcased in Britain
BATH, Britain, May 24 ( tasteallchina ) -- After a tea master elegantly rinsed the teapot and teacups with hot water, brewed the tea and poured it, a dozen of people from across Britain lifted their cups and tasted the tea with great appreciation. And the room was suffused with a refreshing aroma of tea. The Chinese tea-serving ceremony and tasting took place during the "Tea for Harmony" cultural salon on Friday in the English city of Bath. The salon featured various tea and tea culture from Hubei Province, central China, including black brick tea, Yihong black tea and Enshi Yulu Tea. "The ceremony, which is quite calm in itself, prepares you to enjoy and also builds up the expectancy," Neil Beer from Wales told tasteallchina after experiencing all three kinds of tea. He was especially impressed by the black brick tea because it had "layers in terms of taste." This marked the first time he was involved in a tea ceremony, which he thought could set a peaceful tempo and slow one's pace down in a world where everything is "rush, grab, drink, go." "Culture and food are two wonderful ways to bring people together in harmony and friendship,… -

Top 8 Health Tips From Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the more extensively studied alternative forms of medicine by Western scientists. The Chinese people’s traditional way of healing has been practiced since thousands of years ago, and is still very much alive today, influencing the healing practices of other cultures. It’s healing and therapeutic approaches rely on the principle that the body’s organs support each other, and practitioners believe that a person’s wellbeing can be achieved by a mix of herbs and spices, proper diet, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, and qigong to prevent or treat health problems.Main Principles Of Traditional Chinese MedicineBeing mutually connected, the body’s organs should then be balanced by the two contradicting yet complementary life energies called the yin and the yang.Another hallmark principle in the traditional Chinese medicine is called ‘qi,’ the body’s vital energy. TCM presumes that the ‘qi’ passes though the body via pathways called meridians. Once its flow is disrupted or becomes erratic, the body experiences all sorts of physical, mental, and emotional problems. In order to achieve the proper yin/yang balance, the ‘qi’ flow should be restored to its normal and appropriate state.Aside from the ‘qi’ and the yin/yang balance restoration being the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine,… -
Commentary: Civilization dialogue increases mutual understanding, bridges cultural gap
JINAN, July 12 ( tasteallchina ) -- In a world aggravated by weak and unbalanced economic growth and geopolitical tensions, the pursuit of a sustainable way for different countries and civilizations to coexist has emerged as an important and imperative issue. Against this background, it makes sense to draw wisdom from Confucianism. Heavyweight scholars and participants of the Nishan Forum on World Civilizations noted that the world should move toward the Confucian ideal of "harmony in diversity." As the host city of the forum, Qufu, east China's Shandong Province, is the birthplace of ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. With such a cultural pedigree, it is no wonder that Qufu has become a hotspot for international cultural exchanges. Chinese civilization has cherished peace and inclusiveness over its millennia-old history. Ancient Chinese thinkers emphasized the importance of rituals and peace in daily life, as illustrated by the age-old adage: "In practicing the rules of propriety, it is harmony that is prized." Today, peaceful development and mutually beneficial cooperation are the shared aspirations of people worldwide. The values of "peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom" put forward by China echo humanity's common values and aspirations. China has built a range of channels to… -
