Tea has a long history of more than two thousand years. Its hometown is certainly China.
At first tea was considered as a kind of good thing that could make people awake so that they could study comfortably. Many knowledgeable people thought it was helpful for their study, because their minds could keep awake after drinking too much tea. During the Tang Dynasty, tea was sent to European countries first through the Silk Road. It was tea that made Chinese culture spread over in the Western countries. The first book about tea was The Classic of Tea by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty. In the book, he described the tea culture.
However, the tea culture changed into a kind of new form. Many people could find something bad in it in the Song Dynasty. Many people spent much time on it instead of thinking about the safety of their country. Between the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, many people paid more attention to tea. People thought of it as the symbol of the spirit.
