A good teahouse is short in words, easy to understand, catchy, unique and not easily confused with others. To sum up, there are the following categories. There are many forests and forests to enjoy the same taste.
First, it is related to natural landscape and vegetation.
Most of the names of these teahouses reflect the harmony between man and nature and the concept of harmony between Taoism and nature, especially the words "mountain, water, dew, rain", "lotus, orchid" and so on. Paying attention to the artistic conception of tea tasting can be described as "Kung Fu is beyond tea".
For example, the names related to landscape are: Qianshan Qing Xue, Lanning, Bishui Danshan, Longshanshui, Shuiyuexuan, Shuixie, Chongzheng Shuiliantian, Tang Yilan, Han Ruoju, Jiuquxi, Zhuxi, Qiaoying, Ziyunxuan and so on.
The names of these teahouses reflect the unique oriental natural aesthetics in the traditional culture of China. Drinking tea in such a teahouse will definitely give people a vivid aesthetic feeling like China landscape painting.
With the word "Lu", there are Green Xuan, Lu Yuxuan and Gan Linxuan. Taoism believes that the return to nature and the survival of the universe depend on the integration of yin and yang, and dew is the essence of heaven and earth at night and after integration. Some people even think that dew is fresh and mysterious dew, and drinking more can make people and animals live forever. Therefore, tea must be picked in the early morning, when the air on the mountain is fresh and the leaves still have the fragrance of dew, and the picked tea is the top grade. It can be seen that tea is precious.
With the word "rain", there are: Lai Xuan, Xuan and Yu Ting. Only rain is suitable for drinking tea. There is a saying in Tea Sparse written by the ancients many times: "It's overcast and slightly rainy, and it's a small bridge painting", which is one of the beautiful scenery of "suitable tea". Modern Han wrote in "Tea Tasting in Longjing Temple": "The light rain after the snow, the light cold in the rain, the warm smoke and cool green in the light cold rain, the silence formed by the charming language in front of the eaves and the cooking sound under the window ... What's more, all these are actually mine!" It can be seen that the taste of tea in this rain is different from usual, and it has a cool charm. Coincidentally, george gissing, an Englishman, has a similar description in "Shanzhai Essays": In the afternoon (winter, the author's note), it was freezing and raining, so he went home, put on slippers, put on his old coat, curled up in the soft chair in the study and drank afternoon tea. Among them, the casual word "old coat" gives people the feeling that it is so warm and kind, and it is so harmonious with the approachability of tea. In this context, how can we not make people's mood tend to be peaceful? It can be seen that drinking tea in the rain does have a taste that is not easy to observe at ordinary times! Similar names include: dew rain pavilion, rain listening pavilion, boiling rain pavilion, heart rain house and so on.
Related to vegetation are: vegetation man, vegetation house, herb garden and thatched cottage. The word "vegetation man" comes from the riddle "man in vegetation", and the answer is a word "tea". These three words express the idea of harmony between man and nature in tea ceremony. Tea is a vibrant grass, no wonder some people regard the tea in their hands as "a cup of spring grass"! In Uncle Si Xu's Tea Sparse, there are: "Lotus Pavilion is a summer resort, and small courtyard burns incense", and the noble quality of lotus flower "emerging from mud but not stained" is also appreciated by tea people, who often encourage themselves. Therefore, there are also many names with the word "Lotus" or related names, such as Bihexuan, Heweitang, Jardine Matheson, Lotus and so on. In Qu Yuan's Lisao, there are a lot of metaphors to describe a gentleman with herbs, so teahouses named after herbs like Zhilanxuan, Park Huixuan and Yulan have already become a gentleman's demeanor. In addition, there are some plant-related names, such as Guhuaixuan, Lanxiangmei, Wisteria Furnace, Songzhuxin, Baisixin and so on.
Most of the above names are obscure, and sometimes even people who don't understand can't think that this is a teahouse!
The second is related to tea, boiled tea and pots.
This kind of name is particularly common with the words "Ming, Quan, Hu", focusing on various elements of soaking and drinking itself, and kung fu is of course in tea and water.
There are many people with the word "Ming", such as Akihito, Du Ming, Mingke, Li Ming, Mingxi, Mingyangju, Zhimingwei, Huimingxuan, Jumingxuan, Xiangmingxuan, Simingzhai, and Four Seasons Celebrities. Jiamushe, Lvcaotang, Lvhuachun and Lvyegufang are all related to tea itself.
"Water is the mother of tea" and "water-based tea". Teahouses are different from teahouses, that is, you can't just have tea without water, so water is equally (even more) important. What "Tiger Running Spring, Longjing Tea", "Tea on Mengding Mountain, Water in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River" and "Tea in Qingquan Bamboo on Stone" all reflect the importance of water to tea. Therefore, it is not surprising that teahouses are named after water, such as Lin Qingquan, Feilaiquan, Quanshizhai, Qingshui, Xizi and Mingshui.
Those with the word "pot" are Tinghuxuan and Yuhuxuan.
In a word, the name of this teahouse is more direct and thorough than the first one, and it is not so "especially half-covered", so it can be regarded as "what are you doing?"
Third, it is related to the fertility thoughts of Taoism and Buddhism.
Most of the names of these teahouses have the flavor of the Middle Ages, reflecting the hermit psychology of the orientals who built a small house in the depths of mountains and rivers. Such names are especially common with the words "green, refined and elegant".
Scholars in China have always attached importance to the word "Qing", and "tea can clear the heart". Good tea is not bitter, sweet or fragrant, and it all depends on the word "Qing". Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, has the word "nothing is indifferent". What is "nothing, indifferent"? People who are indifferent in manners, indifferent in personality, pale in face, dull in voice and light in taste can all be called "Qing", that is, Lao Tzu's "simplicity to simplicity" and Buddha's "quietness", so "Qing, quietness and elegance" are actually a trinity. Therefore, the names of tea houses such as Qingxinju, Qingsixuan, Qingfeng, Jing Ya Zhai, Jingxinxuan, Yaxian, Li, Song, Qi, Jinsheng and Hermit House all reflect the Taoist spirit of "keeping a private life, being spotless and not being stupid" and the ethereal realm of doing something. While drinking tea in tea houses such as Minghui, Zen Forest, Zen Taste Xuan, Arrow Bamboo House, Su Yuan, Yuanyuan Garden, Puxin, Dajian, etc., it is inevitable that there will be thoughts of leaving the dust, which makes it easier for tea people to blindly observe the mystery of tea meditation.
Fourth, it has something to do with Confucianism's thought of joining the WTO.
Tea people are not completely free and forget the world of mortals. Joining the WTO with an open mind will probably better reflect the wisdom of tea people. It is reflected in the name of the teahouse, especially the word "he". Different from Taoism's detachment and inaction, most of these names reflect the enterprising thought of Confucianism's active entry into the WTO.
For example, the "bit by bit" teahouse, bit by bit, not only has the meaning of "Han Xin ordered soldiers" in the Kung Fu tea ceremony (no more or less tea), but also accumulated continuously in the journey of life and experienced the struggle process from quantitative change to qualitative change. It means that tea people "can't travel thousands of miles without accumulating steps". Only by taking every step down-to-earth can they finally achieve something and gain something. In addition, there is something similar: ploughing in Qingming, winning the blue and fighting for the deer. Drinking tea in such a teahouse will inevitably give people incentives in the dull, and such internal incentives are often more lasting and effective.
Confucius has "harmony but difference", and "harmony" is the first of the "four beauties" (harmony, respect, purity and silence) of tea ceremony. Invite two or three confidants to tea and talk about the past and the present, and you will have the artistic conception of not letting the so-called "cutting candles at the west window, raining at night" and "chatting in bed at night". "Only when we are in tune with each other, can we call the children's bonfire and fetch some soup" (Xu's Tea), but if we are "knowledgeable and superb in poetry, we can't help it" (Night Boat by Broken Mountain Man), therefore, if we can get a confidant and talk about tea in the "confidant" teahouse, life is enough! Other names that show that tea people treat their confidants and help the world at the same time include: Jixian Hall, Liu Xian Hall, Zunyou Hall, Yihe Tea Language, Guanghe, Taihe, Jingxuan and Ji Bo.
Fifth, it is related to wealth and good luck.
The names of these teahouses are often marked with the words "Fu, Xiang and Xin", which reflect people's yearning for a happy and rich material life, and many of them have good meanings of good luck. Such as Five Blessingg, Beaufort, Runfuxuan, Yuan Mingfu, Huilanfu and Yunbaoxiang. A gentleman makes money in a proper way. Drinking tea and talking business in teahouses like Sheng Xinxian, Xinshengmao, Huiwen Qingxin, Chengfu Shuiyixuan and Jinshui Shijia is convenient for making money. Teahouse owner, buyers and sellers win-win, mutual benefit and win-win. Isn't everyone happy?
Sixth, it has something to do with the place names in Beijing.
As the name implies, this is often related to place names. For example, Shuangxiu Hanfang is a teahouse, located in Shuangxiu Park in the middle of the North Third Ring Road. Huangchenggen Teahouse is located in the east of Huangchenggen North Street; Zizhuyuan and Ziyun Bamboo Garden are both near Zizhuyuan Park. The teahouse of Jimen Rock Tree is the word "Jimen Rock Tree" directly selected as one of the "Eight Scenes of Yanjing". In addition, there are Beiping Teahouse and Zhao Yan Teahouse. In addition, Meijiang, Wuyishan Zhuang and Xizi Lake were not originally in Beijing, but the teahouses they named were all in Beijing.
Seven, from allusions.
Most of these names come from famous sayings, so the artistic conception is quite good. For example, "Dongli" is taken from Tao Yuanming's "Picking chrysanthemums under Dongli, Seeing Nanshan leisurely". "Rain Pavilion" comes from the preface of a poem by Du Fu, which reads: "In autumn, Du Zi fell ill and traveled to Chang 'an. Rainy raw fish, moss and collapsed horses are always a guest. Old rain has come, but today it doesn't come. "Today, the name of this teahouse means that old and new friends get together, just like an old song says," See you again in twenty years ". "Canglang Pavilion" comes from Qu Yuan's "Canglang Water is clear, which can accommodate me". Another example is the "Three Tans Printing the Moon" teahouse. San Tan Yin Yue was originally the place where Lu Xun studied in a private school when he was young. As a teahouse, the "three flavors" also come from this allusion: "Reading classics tastes like rice beams, reading history tastes like vegetables, and reading a hundred flavors like sugar".
Eight, related to action.
The names of the above teahouses are nouns, and the original names should be like this. However, some people find another way to name the teahouse with verbs, which gives people a refreshing feeling and often makes people see a vivid scene.
For example, the "Yun Qi" teahouse. Moire patterns are widely used in Chinese traditional arts and crafts, and the Olympic torch is also named after "Xiangyun". In "Looking at the flowers in front of the court and looking up at the clouds in the sky", clouds give people a sense of unrestrained freedom and idleness, so there is a saying of "traveling in clouds". There is a poem named "Tea Songs Accompanied by Clouds" in Guo Jingji, a collection of Japanese Han poetry. The poem says: "If you don't drink, you will be immortal." It can be seen that drinking tea can make people fly high and travel around the world. There is a poem in Huanggufang: "There are many white clouds in the dragon-roasted Dongfeng fish-eye soup", and the "cloud" here refers to the lingering in the tea soup. In short, whether as a sleeping "cloud" or a "cloud" of tea and cigarettes, at the moment of rising, it will help people enter the realm of carefree yearning and pure mind. It can be said that people are in the clouds and clouds are in tea. What a "Yun Qi"!
"Meiyuan Tea" is also a good name. If this teahouse opens a branch, can it be called "Xun Mei in the Snow"? Let people know at a glance that it is a sister shop.
In addition, such names include: sitting and watching Yun Qi, plowing in the rain and reading, using wood as a pillow, cooking rain, listening to rain, listening to pots, laughing and resting, and so on.
Nine, from homophonic.
Friends come first to propose a toast to this book. The four beauties of the tea ceremony in Penglai Wonderland are "harmony, quietness, clearness and silence" and "it's a pleasure to have friends from afar", which is harmony. Give a cup of tea after meeting, which is respect. Therefore, the literal meaning of "respect your friends first" contains the virtues of a gentleman who is harmonious but different and respects each other like a guest. In Lu Tong's Seven Bowls of Tea Poems, there are "seven bowls can't be eaten, only two axillary winds blow" and "two axillary winds blow, and I want to go to Penglai" (Bai Yuchan's Water Singing Tea). It can be seen that drinking tea sometimes leads to the illusion that I don't know what night it is. Therefore, friends come to worship first, and skillfully connect the metaphysical "harmony and respect" in tea ceremony with the metaphysical drifting into fairyland, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
The word "tea is the real hometown" is a pun, which means "tea is delicious" and "this is the real destination of tea" And "Happy East China Sea" certainly includes the blessing of "Happiness as the East China Sea"; Another example is "Zhuxi", which is both poetic and picturesque, and contains an exhortation to be content, grateful and cherish the present.
In addition to the above, there are many unclassified names that are elegant and unique. For example: Chamate, Yidingbing, Wenruxinju and Eby, etc. Because some teahouses no longer exist for various reasons, they are now in name only. Because this article is only a reflection on the product name, there is no need to follow the map to find these teahouses, otherwise it is likely to be a trip in vain.
Having said so many names of teahouses, do you also have the impulse to open teahouses? If the author has the opportunity to open a teahouse, I will give it an "extraordinary" name called "tasteless" Seemingly absurd, it actually has a source: A Qing Dynasty Lu Ciyun said in Miscellanies of Huguang that Longjing tea "has a peaceful and tasteless taste after drinking, between the teeth and cheeks." This tasteless taste is even tasteless! " This "tasteless" is not bitter, sweet, bitter and sweet, and you can't taste it without a "heart", so this "tasteless" is actually to taste tea with a "heart".
However, if this name is really used, the teahouse will be empty even if it is not closed! Because there is "who knows the taste"? Therefore, this name is purely a joke, don't take it seriously!
