The difference between congou and congou.

Many people can't tell "Kung Fu Tea" from "Kung Fu Tea", don't know the difference between them, or think they have the same meaning, so they often use it indiscriminately. Of course, we can't blame them for mispronouncing or being confused. After all, they both have the same pronunciation and look alike. Gongfu tea usually refers to kung fu tea, which is a unique traditional tea drinking custom in Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province, that is, the process of drinking tea, tea art and tea ceremony.

01 congou refers to tea ceremony and tea ceremony.
Chaozhou people likes drinking tea very much, which is almost to the point where he is addicted to tea. Chaozhou people likes to call tea MC Davi, and regards tea as rations. People can't do without eating, and chaozhou people can't do without drinking tea. Tea and rice have the same status, and they can't be separated. Chaozhou people likes to drink tea, and also likes to invite guests to his home for tea. Therefore, people in Chaozhou Prefecture will buy some tea ware in their homes to entertain guests for tea. And there are many tea-making processes, which are very particular.

Tieguanyin
There are as many as 21 procedures for making congou tea, from preparing tea ware tea to moistening tea to making tea, and then seeing the guests off after drinking tea. Every procedure has four beautiful words, such as throwing tea into the palace as an own goal, injecting water as a hanging pot with high impact, scraping the foam off the spout as a spring breeze stroke, scalding a cup as a bath, pouring tea as a city tour and so on. Therefore, congou is both a tea ceremony and a tea ceremony. It is the Chaozhou Tea Ceremony, which is a representative tea ceremony in our ancient traditional culture. Gongfu tea has a long history and was very popular in the Song Dynasty.

02 congou tea also refers to the tea name, which is the abbreviation of congou black tea.
Perhaps in everyone's cognition, it is only partly true that "Kung Fu Tea" refers to tea art and "Kung Fu Tea" refers to the name of tea. Gongfu tea is also the abbreviation of Gongfu black tea in black tea, that is to say, Gongfu tea can also refer to the tea name. Because there are two versions of congou tea, one refers to the tea art, that is, kung fu tea, and the other refers to the tea name, that is, Gongfu black tea.

Gongfu Black Tea-Qimen Black Tea
As we all know, black tea is mainly divided into race black tea, Kung Fu black tea and red broken tea, and Kung Fu black tea has many categories and many producing areas, mainly including Dianhong Kung Fu, Qimen Kung Fu, Fuliang Kung Fu, Ninghong Kung Fu, Yihong Kung Fu, Xiangjiang Kung Fu, Minhong Kung Fu and so on. Therefore, when you soak Qimen, it doesn't mean that you are completing a "congou" tea art. Congou doesn't depend on what time you soak black tea, but on whether you have done it according to the "kung fu tea" process.

03 congou also refers to Wuyi rock tea.
Gongfu tea not only refers to black tea, that is, Kung Fu black tea, but also used to refer to Wuyi Rock Tea. Lu Yancan, who is known as tea fairy, quoted Suijianlu as saying: Wuyi tea on the mountain is rock tea ... The north and south mountains are named after the rocks they produce, and the best one is called "Kung Fu tea". On top of the work, there are small species, and each plant is named after a tree, which is rare. It can be seen that congou tea used to refer to Wuyi rock tea, but now congou tea does not refer to Wuyi rock tea, but usually refers to Kung Fu black tea.

Wuyi Yancha
It is worth mentioning that the tea used in kung fu tea is usually green tea, that is, oolong tea, or Tieguanyin, Narcissus and Phoenix tea. Wuyi Rock Tea is the representative tea in Oolong Tea, so can it be explained that one of Wuyi Rock Tea's previous names, "Gongfu Tea", has certain connection and influence with the appellation of "kung fu tea"? It is worth mentioning that nowadays, congou tea is mainly divided into three factions, namely Fujian, Chaoshan and Taiwan Province provinces. Generally, Fujian drinks more Tieguanyin, Chaoshan drinks more Dahongpao and dancong tea, and Taiwan Province drinks more frozen top oolong.

Oolong tea-Wuyi rock tea
Kung fu is homophonic with Kung fu, and foreigners hear "Kung fu" as "Kung fu" in Chaozhou dialect.
In Mandarin, Kung Fu is homophonic with Kung Fu, but in Chaoshan dialect, it is very different. In Chaoshan dialect, the word "gong" in congou tea is pronounced as "gang", and we often say that if we are good at what we do, we will work hard. Make tea perfectly, that is, work, tea art and tea ceremony.
Therefore, what people in Chaoshan area are talking about is actually "Kung Fu Tea", but it is heard as "Kung Fu Tea" by foreigners. After all, it takes a certain amount of effort to make tea, and it seems reasonable to explain kung fu tea with "Kung Fu Tea". But we should know that there is still a big difference between kung fu and kung fu. Kung fu is a philosophical summary of the whole realistic activities of the subject, and kung fu is usually understood as martial arts.

Oolong Tea-Phoenix Dan Cong
Generally speaking, congou tea can refer to kung fu tea or Gongfu black tea, but it usually refers to kung fu tea, and seldom refers to Gongfu black tea. If everyone says all the names, it is not easy to cause misunderstanding by naming names. Moreover, because "Kung Fu Tea" has been misunderstood as "Kung Fu Tea" for a long time, although there are many articles explaining it on the Internet, there are still many people who don't know the difference between them, and they can't tell the difference by mixing Kung Fu Tea with Kung Fu Tea.

But then again, most people talk about Kung Fu tea, in fact, that is to say, kung fu tea refers to tea art, not the name of tea. Finally, when we hear someone say Kung Fu tea, we should not only know that he is talking about kung fu tea, but also carry out popular science to dispel the misunderstanding. Besides, Chaozhou Kung Fu tea art is also called Chaoshan congou, so when others say Chaoshan congou, we should know that it refers to kung fu tea.
