What's the difference between a gentleman and a gentleman
Among many western films, Secret Agent: Secret Service College is regarded as the film with the most British gentleman style.
Not to mention how Uncle Colin transformed a street thug into a gentleman-like super agent, just the phrase "Manners make the man" has made Uncle Colin numerous.
This is similar to the ancient China saying "salute first, then soldiers". It seems that in the matter of "courtesy first", Chinese and English cultures are interlinked.
However, do you know that the gentleman's ceremony advocated by westerners can be nearly 18 years later than the gentleman's style emphasized by China? "Book of Rites-Jade Algae" records: "A gentleman's tolerance is slow and slow, and he who sees him is neat? .
Full bulk density, respectful hands, eyes and eyes, Rong Zhi mouth, quiet voice, straight head, calm gas, standing upright and graceful, sitting like a corpse, Yanju telling the temperature. " This gave birth to the style of "a gentleman with nine capacities" emphasized by the ancients.
a gentleman's nine looks are nine requirements for people's appearance and behavior. Western gentleman studies emphasize that morality is not educated, but infected.
This is called "smoking" in China culture, and it is also called "teaching by example", both of which make people realize moral cultivation in daily life, such as tea.
how to be a gentleman when drinking tea?
Wang Qiong said, "Putting the teachings of the ancients into practice in the manners when drinking tea can cultivate people's gentleman's style and lady's virtue." Today, we will listen to Wang Qiong's talk about how to understand the ancient gentleman's style in the world of tea.
The ancients in China attached great importance to the heel, and advocated that "strength starts from the foot", that is, the heel is the source of one's strength.
Therefore, the "full-foot bulk density" requires us to take root under our feet, walk steadily, and remember to shake our heads and walk. This also has something in common with western culture. Isn't Achilles, who is brave and good at fighting, shot in the heel and died?
after that, let's talk about it. Wang Qiong said: "Sign language is a necessary expression and accomplishment of tea teachers in the tea table." The sign language here is not the sign language we usually say for communication, but refers to one stroke and one style when drinking tea.
"Holding hands respectfully" requires the tea maker to put his fingers together, his thumb close and his palm bent to show his humility and respect. Wang Qiong said: "When drinking tea, the hands holding the container should also be put together with four fingers, which helps to concentrate and settle down."
Although drinking tea is related to hands, the dignified beauty of drinking tea comes from the head. "Keep your head straight" requires the tea maker to keep his head straight while making tea.
one of the rules of tea drinking is to fill water with your left hand and bring out soup with your right hand. At this time, if the head is skewed, it will smash the overall beauty of tea.
Among the five senses on the head, the eyes can best reflect people's inner state. "Look on the face" refers to taking care of people who are sitting and drinking tea with goodwill and care, without looking askance or aggressiveness.
Just like the conversation between Uncle Colin and gangsters about gentlemen on the roadside in the movie, although Uncle Colin wears sunglasses, he still can't hide his expectation and care for this junior.
In general understanding, the mouth is used to talk. But when drinking tea, keep your mouth shut. "Kou Rong Zhi" requires the tea master to stop talking when making tea.
Because in the eyes of the ancients, the tea-room stop can make one's originally anxious heart slowly calm down in the tea. Therefore, tea will become a sharp weapon for generations of literati to cultivate their self-cultivation in the history of China for thousands of years.
Although there is a rule that "a gentleman should have nine capacities" when making tea and drinking tea, Wang Qiong also stressed that a tea maker should relax and be natural when making tea at the tea table. This is a comfort to oneself and a respect to others.
A gentleman or a gentleman, a celebrity or a lady is not only an image, but also reflects a person's excellent character and moral cultivation.
As Uncle Colin in Kingsman quoted Hemingway's words, "There is nothing noble to be superior to others. The real nobility is to be superior to yourself."
