With the development of the social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people's understanding of health has gradually deepened. More and more people are paying attention to sub-health and actively preventing and treating it. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon states, "Man relies on water and grains as his foundation," indicating that humans depend on water and grains for survival. When water and grains enter the stomach, they undergo rotting and digestion in the stomach, and then the spleen transforms and transports them to distribute their essence throughout the body, nourishing all the zang-fu organs. This idea of "man relying on stomach qi as his foundation" is significant for the prevention of diseases. The renowned physician Li Dongyuan of the Jin-Yuan era proposed the academic thought that "all diseases arise from internal injuries to the spleen and stomach," highlighting the extremely important position of the spleen and stomach in the human body, with their health directly affecting the health of the body. Physiological Functions of the Spleen and Stomach In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the "spleen and stomach" refers to a functional concept that goes far beyond the anatomical scope of the spleen and stomach, encompassing the functions of… -

The Evolution of Tea Art: From Boiled Tea, to Dotted Tea, to Infused Tea
The inherent bitterness in tea leaves is a natural flavor, but human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of deliciousness have minimized this bitterness. The history of tea culture is the story of humanity's triumph over bitterness. Tea production is part of this narrative, as is the way we consume it. Tea has a long history in China, but there are no definitive records indicating when it first became a beverage. What we do know is that the earliest reference to tea is as a restorative drink. The "Guangya" from the Three Kingdoms period describes this: “In Jing and Ba, they pick the leaves and make them into cakes. When the leaves are old, they use rice paste to shape the cakes. To prepare the tea, they first roast the cakes until red, grind them into a powder, and place the powder in ceramic ware. They then pour boiling water over it and add scallions, ginger, and orange slices. Drinking it helps to sober one up and keeps you awake.” By the Tang Dynasty, the art of boiled tea had moved beyond its restorative properties and became an integral part of social rituals. There was a strict procedure for preparing boiled… -
