Teacups and plates were set up at every place.’’ A Mad Tea Party Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’ ‘I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an- hour a day.

Socio-cultural history of tea had not been well-studied field in the Soviet historiography, but in the recent years, some of historians work on this theme because of the diversification of subjects in the Russian historiography. The paper provides an overview of early encounters of tea in Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, comparing with other beverages that were drunk at that time. The paper sheds light on the two supply routes of tea to Russia, one from Mongolia and China, and the other from Europe. Drinking of brick tea did not become a custom in the 18th century, but tea consumption had bloomed since 19th century, rapidly increasing the import of tea. The main part of the paper clarifies how Russian- Chines trade at Khakhta had been interrelated to the consumption of tea in Russia. Finally, the paper shows how the Russian tea culture formation followed a different path from that of the tea culture of Europe.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie Master's Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 – 60 Credits – Autumn 2015) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO 24 November, 2015 © LI Jie 2015 Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie http://www.duo.uio.no Print: University Print Center, University of Oslo II Summary The subject of this thesis is tradition and the current trend of tea culture in China. In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.
  • Still Life: Tea Set

    Still Life: Tea Set

    Language through Art: An ESL Enrichment Curriculum (Beginning) Information for Teaching Still Life: Tea Set Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) About 1781–83 Oil on canvas mounted on board 14 7/8 x 20 5/16 in. 84.PA.57 Background Information Chinese porcelain and tea drinking were popular in Europe when Jean-Étienne Liotard was born. In this painting of teatime disarray, a tray is set with a teapot, lidded vase (perhaps containing an extra supply of tea leaves), plate of bread and butter, sugar bowl with tongs, milk jug, and six cups, saucers, and spoons. A large bowl holding a teacup and saucer could also be used for dumping the slops of cold tea and used tea leaves. By the time Liotard painted this work in the late 1700s, tea drinking had become fashionable among the middle class as well as the upper class. This is one of five known depictions of china tea sets that he created around 1783. About the Artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) Liotard first trained as a painter in Geneva. While in his twenties, he sought his fortune in Paris, where he studied in a prominent painter's studio. Later he traveled to Italy and throughout the Mediterranean region and finally settled in Constantinople for four years. Intrigued by the native dress, he grew a long beard and acquired the habit of dressing as a Turk, earning himself the nickname "the Turkish painter." While in Constantinople, he painted portraits of members of the British colony. For the remainder of his life, Liotard traveled throughout Europe painting portraits in pastels.

    Russian Folk Art as Souvenirs Every person traveling around the world often questions: “what would be a good souvenirs to bring back home?” Now, of course your child is a best thing that you get from the country, but there are always things that you would like to give to your relatives and friends once you are back home. Here are several suggestions and historical background on some of most famous Russian Folk gifts that you can choose as souvenirs. Souvenirs that would be unique, beautiful and useful. You will be amazed with the variety of choice… Hohloma Hohloma wood painting is a unique ancient Russian folk craft. The birth-place of Hohloma is the forest area of Nizhny Novgorod region to the north-east of the river Volga. Hohloma is the name of a big village on the left bank of the Volga. From the earliest times masters who lived in that region made amazingly beautiful woodenware, and in the 17th century hohloma painting art was formed as a folk art phenomenon. The craft has gained world fame due to its original technique and the beauty of traditional Russian decorative patterns. Turned or carved with special chisels, articles made of limewood, are primed with clay, coated with "olifa" (boiled linseed oil), and then with powdered aluminium. After being silvered in this way, the objects are painted with refractory oil colours and then lacquered several times and tempered in ovens. The heat of 1000 makes the varnish yellow, turning "the silver" into "gold" and softening the bright colours of the painted ornament with an even golden tone.

    St Petersburg, 11 December 2018 PRESS-RELEASE THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS AT NEW HOLLAND ISLAND 25 December 2018 – 8 January 2019 From 25 December to 8 January there will be a New Year Market in the courtyard of the Bottle on New Holland Island, with 14 stalls selling festive food, treats and gifts located around a central, 8-metre high Christmas Tree. The Bottle’s ground-floor residents will also be serving seasonal food and drink on two additional temporary stalls. The courtyard will be decked out with patio-heaters and chairs, and from 15 to 31 December there will be a Christmas Tree market open next to the Bottle’s main entrance. This year there will be a New Year Post service on the charity stall, which will allow anyone to leave a gift for others who have fallen on hard times, and who need just the very basic things in life – care and support. Gifts will be collected for the homeless charity Nochlezhka, for the Anton's right here foundation, the regional branch of Age and Joy, the Warm Home foundation, the Mother and Child charity project and the Centre for the Social Rehabilitation of Disabled Adults and Children in the Vyborg region. The gifts will be delivered by volunteers. The whole of New Holland Island has been spruced up for the opening of the New Year Market: a third huge Nutcracker toy-soldier has been added to the two currently standing guard over the entrance to the Bottle, with the new arrival looking on from the direction of the Foundry.
