East Asian cultural exchange course opens in NCKU to unveil the beauty of tea culture
Tainan, Taiwan, January 13, 2017
Prof. Chi-Chang Lee from the Department of History in National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, opened a special course on tea cultural exchange highlighted the history of tea culture, the influence of tea-drinking to society and the art of making tea.
Tea culture came to permeate every aspect of daily life in Taiwan, according to Lee who intends to introduce the history of tea culture and knowledge of tea making to his class.
Lee said that he started to learn about the Japanese tea ceremony when he was a PhD student in Japan years ago.
Japanese tea ceremony involves the practical and aesthetical matcha preparation and the attempt to connect with the guests, according to Lee.
He noted, in both China and Japan, the art of making tea was developed to a very high level.
He is hoping that young people will understand the development of Chinese tea culture, explore the process of how Chinese tea has a big influence on Japanese tea, and how to develop a system of tea ceremony.
At the end of this semester, a presentation of tea ceremony was held recently near the Cheng-Kung Lake. The presentation was divided into three parts – Japanese Tea, Taiwanese Tea, and Chinese Tea.
Lee is an expert on Japanese tea ceremony. In order to let students know about Taiwanese tea and Chinese tea, he invited many experts who are familiar with the specific tea culture to give lectures and guide students to make a proper cup of tea.
