課程概述 |
The first part of this course deals with tea’s significant role in ancient China and the Victorian England. The discussion will focus on tea’s social function and cultural significance in eastern and western worlds. As the birthplace of tea, China’s rich tea culture has dominated the life of local people for five thousand years. Chinese tea ceremony is endowed with the cultural and religious pursuit of harmonious life. Absorbing the essence of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian philosophy, the progress of sipping and appreciating tea leads drinkers to reach the state of self-cultivation, experiencing the harmony and mysterious unity of the universe. Thus, Chinese tea ceremony is considered the core of oriental culture. In England, the phenomenon of chinoiserie, especially the craze of tea, shapes and defines the civilized, elegant lifestyle of the middle-class family. In the Victorian England, tea is not a mere luxurious commodity, but is elevated to a national beverage, which is indispensable to the household. Since tea is connected with the domestic life, it is related to women’s empowerment. Being the righteous tea-makers, women are allowed to voice their opinion and gain autonomy. In Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Cao Xueqin’s The Story of the Stone, tea serves as a medium through which human relationships are inspected and mediated. With the examination of these two novels, the omnipresence of tea proved its function in connecting family and stabilizing society. The research aims to offer a different perspective on tea’s role in the household in Chinese and England worlds. |
