Tea is the creative inspiration of British literati and the source of materials. Tea culture occupies a very important position in British culture, and is deeply involved in literature. No matter poetry, prose or novels, these authors are deeply interested in tea culture. The British are very particular about what they drink and are also very concerned about the utensils for drinking. What can be combined with literature must be important, influential and long-lasting.
Tea has appeared in Britain for hundreds of years, which has a profound influence. Tea, in the field of English literature, is equivalent to the role of the moon, mountains and rivers and other images for ancient Chinese poets. It can entrust people's feelings and express people's ideas. In English literature, poems praising tea, tea prose, etc. have been circulating for a long time. Tea poems are caused by the box of tea in the queen's dowry. The poet Waller, through that box of tea, expressed his praise for the queen and wrote a poem called "On Tea".
But tea was very precious at that time, basically only available to the royal family, so the people at that time didn't know about it at all. It is through writers such as Waller, Taylor and Duncan that it is widely circulated, and tea is recorded in writing, which makes tea known to the world. Surprisingly, tea has an excellent effect on abstinence. Since it can be used as an emotional image, it can also have a specific social form. The production process of tea is complicated and exquisite, which gives poets excellent creative inspiration.
It is self-evident that literature has a positive effect on tea, and tea has also promoted literature, which has produced many different forms of literature and enriched people's spiritual world. The love of tea is actually the love of life. Writers can write this love into words, which reflects an unusual mental state and expresses a passion to the world, and the relaxed and free life extended from it brings people a sense of abundance. Tea can be seen in many English literary works, which reflects the British people's longing for a better life.
