Enjoy some art with your tea
非遗传承：茶汤上作画的点茶技艺
You must have seen someone pour milk foam (泡沫) into a coffee to create beautiful patterns. But have you seen this art in a cup of tea?
Dian cha is a tea art from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). People pour water over powdered (粉状的) tea to create a paste (糊). Then they add more hot water and keep whisking (搅动) it. It is believed that the art later spread to other parts of East Asia, including Japan. In 2019, it was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Runzhou district, Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu province.
Master’s story
Under his mother’s influence (影响), Han Zheming fell in love with the culture of the Song Dynasty when he was little.
In 2006, Han began learning more about tea culture of the dynasty and later tried to bring the art of dian cha to life.
Over the past six years, the 40-year-old has created nearly 200 patterns based on (基于) ancient paintings.
“It’s like adding bells and whistles (点缀) to tea and giving people a stronger sense of occasion (仪式感), so drinking tea is more fun.”
He said during the process of dian cha, the froth (泡沫) looks like paper while the tea paste is like ink. But “drawing” on the tea foam is not easy.
“When it comes to traditional paintings, it is about the soft brush against the hard paper,” said Han, “but with the tea, it is the other way round. It’s the hard teaspoon against the soft froth.”
Creating patterns in tea foam is careful but quick work. Usually, you have to finish it within 10 minutes. When the tea is around 40 C, it’s perfect to draw on.
To spread dian cha culture, Han posts videos of dian cha on social media platforms, including Bilibili and Douyin. Some of his videos have got more than 300,000 views (观看次数). CHINA DAILY-TEENS

欣赏茶汤中的艺术
非遗传承：茶汤上作画的点茶技艺
你一定见过有人倒牛奶泡沫把咖啡变成美丽的图案。但是你有没有在一杯茶汤中看到过这种艺术？
点茶是宋代（960-1279）的一种茶艺。人们把水倒在粉末上制作出面糊. 然后他们加入更多的热水，继续搅拌它。这种艺术后来传播到东亚其它地区，包括日本。2019年，点茶被江苏省镇江市润州区列为非物质文化遗产。
大师的故事
在韩哲明母亲的影响下, 他从小就爱上了宋代文化。
2006年，韩开始更多地了解王朝的茶文化，后来试图将点茶艺术带入生活。
在过去的六年中，40岁的他根据古代绘画创作出了近200个图案。
“这就像是在茶汤中添加了点缀，给人更强烈的仪式感, 使得喝茶汤更有趣。”
他说，在点茶的过程中，泡沫看起来像纸，而茶糊像墨水。但“画”在茶汤的泡沫上并不容易。
“说到传统绘画，是用软笔刷在硬纸上，”韩说，“但对于茶来说，情况恰恰相反。这是用硬茶勺刷在软泡沫上。”
在茶汤泡沫中创作图案是一项细致但快速的工作。通常，你必须在10分钟内完成。当茶汤温度在40摄氏度左右时，是非常适合绘画的。
为了传播点茶文化，韩在社交媒体平台上发布了点茶视频，包括哔哩哔哩和抖音。他的一些视频有超过300000次的浏览量.
