The Evolution of Chinese Characters ✍🏻 From oracle bone script (甲骨文) which was engraved onto ox bones/turtle shells and often resembled real-life objects, to seal script (篆书) which was widely used for engraving and decorating purposes during the Han Dynasty, to simplified script (简体字) as we know it today, Chinese characters have really come a long way! #chinese #chinesecharacters #calligraphy #chinesecalligraphy #history #chinesehistory #chinesewithmia #mia_yilin #worldofmyl

When people tell me my protagonist is too shady but she's literally Wu Zetian #booktok #ironwidow #chinesehistory

Tea resin is a highly concentrated tea invented in ancient China during the 10th century—each of our mooncake resins can make a whole pot of tea! 🫖 Tea resin has a singular status as an imperial tribute tea since its very beginning. It is the world’s first instant tea and began as an exclusive health product for the royal family. Tea resin was created in the Southern Tang (937–976 AD), refined in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. However, tea resin disappeared during the collapse of the Qing, and the methods of manufacturing were lost. Only since 2002 have scientists started re-engineering this process—which is why tea resin may be a novel product to many people! Tea makers in the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) believed that tea resin was the most precious form of tea. They perfected a technique of pressing, steaming, and washing tea leaves, which were then put into a small press to remove moisture, and then into a large press to create resin. There are many historical records of tea resin from classic texts, including in Spring and Autumn Annals of 10 Kingdoms from the Southern Tang, and Zhao Xuemin’s Compendium of Materia Medica. Zhao Xuemin (1719-1805 AD), a rigorous pharmacologist, recorded the many health benefits both of Pu’er tea and imperial Qing-produced tea resin. So how does modern tea resin compare to imperial tribute tea resin? The modern method imitates the climate, temperature, and environment of imperial tea resin production from the Qing Dynasty using the most advanced biotechnology methods today, including cold isostatic pressing, cell wall breaking technology, supercritical fluid extraction, and freeze-drying, combined to create a Pu’er tea resin that is more controlled, more hygienic, and higher in quality than Qing Dynasty imperial Pu’er tea resin. Note: in this video, I am making our Chen Pi ripe Pu’er “mooncake” tea resin in our XL hourglass mug. We also carry smaller, single estate tea resins from Bulang and Nannuo Mountain. . . . #puer #tea #chinesemedicine #holistichealth #tearesin #wellness #healthycooking #chinesehistory #ancienthistory #herbalmedicine

I felt so rich 🤑 as a kid during this time of year because everyone was always giving me red envelops stuffed with cash! I remember getting from people I didn’t even know! People just gave them out like candy! But for the last ten years K and I have had to shell out ourselves because we’re married! 💸💸💸 During Lunar New Year 🧧 a lot of people hand out lucky money or red pockets to wish the receiver good fortune and well wishes for the year ahead. But in Chinese culture only the married people give out money to children and unmarried people. And there are several customs you follow while giving and receiving these red envelopes. The receiver is expected to take the envelops with two hands, speak a blessing to the giver, usually wishing upon them good fortune, health, wealth, happiness and safety. But you should never open the red pocket in front of the giver because that is seen as extremely rude. The giver aka the married folks must give the red pockets in pairs. You should only use fresh crips bills and never give a total amount adding to the number four. (Four in Chinese sounds like death and even speaking the word death is seen as very bad luck during the New Year.) The amount of money given varies depending on the generosity of the giver or depending on how close you are to the recipient. #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #lny #lny2024 #cny #cny2024 #chineseculture #chinesecustom #chinesehistory #redpocket #laisee #luckymoney #redenvelope #marriedlifehumor #marriedlife #marriedcouple #marriedlifebelike #couplegoals #couplecomedy #married
