Calling "Taiwan Province artists didn’t provide enough disaster relief", Cai Qin choked: the words were misinterpreted.




  Cai Qin criticized Taiwan Province artists for not working hard enough for disaster relief, which caused many Taiwanese stars to refute fiercely! On June 2nd, Hong Kong Oriental Daily reported that when Cai Qin attended the "512 Caring Action in Performing Arts" in Hong Kong, he felt that Hong Kong artists were very United in disaster relief, and that people in Taiwan Province did not do enough, so he felt ashamed!

  A word attracted strong dissatisfaction.

  As soon as this report came out of the street, Taiwan Province’s entertainment circle was in an uproar, and many Taiwanese stars shouted grievances one after another, causing great dissatisfaction among artists in Taiwan Province, including Gao Lingfeng, fei chang and Wu Zongxian! Because according to the report, Cai Qin is "ashamed" of Taiwan Province artists and thinks that Taiwan Province artists "haven’t done enough", which makes many people feel aggrieved.

  It is reported that fei chang, the big brother of the variety show, pointed out that "there is only a thin line between seeking fame and attracting jade. What kind is she?"? I think everyone is very clear. " He thinks that Cai Qin’s remarks at the moment have deeply hurt the image of Taiwan Province’s entertainment circle. Therefore, fei chang suggested Cai Qin: "We should sincerely apologize to the artists in Taiwan Province for this remark." At the same time, fei chang said to all Taiwan Province artists who have participated in the disaster relief, "Don’t be discouraged by Cai Qin’s speech."




  Gao Lingfeng, another Taiwan Province variety show host, is also very excited. He revealed that he only saw Cai Qin’s words through the relevant media at present, but if Cai Qin did say so much, he thought it was inappropriate. "An artist should be cautious when he reaches a certain level. So she should look at how much she has done before judging others. "

  Wu Zongxian, the king of variety in Taiwan Province, asked: "Then I want to know what she did?" He said that if Cai Qin felt that Taiwan Province’s entertainment industry was not doing enough, he should do more by himself.

  Having been hit by the "921 Taiwan Province Earthquake", artists in Taiwan Province can better understand the pain of the "512 Wenchuan Earthquake", so they spare no effort in earthquake relief. On May 18th, just six days after the earthquake, a four-hour disaster relief party was broadcast live in Taiwan Province, and more than 100 entertainers from the island gathered in Taipei to participate in the charity performance, raising a total of NT$ 227 million. Since May 12th, artists from Taiwan Province have taken the lead in donating money and actively participated in various relief benefit performances. Ceng Zhiwei of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association also attributed the complete success of the "512 Caring" campaign to the concerted efforts of artists from the three places.




  Did you really say that you are "ashamed" of Taiwan Province artists?

  If we look at it this way, it seems that Cai Qin’s criticism of Taiwan Province artists is really inappropriate, but the question is, the so-called "Cai Qin accuses Taiwan Province artists" is just news reported by a Hong Kong media. Is this really the case? The reporter found the recording of Cai Qin’s backstage interview that day. The text is as follows:

  Cai Qin: I really admire the Hong Kong entertainment industry today. I think Hong Kong’s entertainment industry will always move us as Taiwan Province artists. Therefore, I remember here that during the last 921 earthquake in Taiwan Province, Hong Kong could immediately call on all the whole entertainment circles in just one week to help us in Taiwan Province. The gym held a concert to raise money. This disaster relief for Sichuan is not the first time. I think it is still so exciting. The character of Hong Kong people is affectionate and righteous.

  Judging from the above interview, Cai Qin is indeed full of praise for the series of caring actions of Hong Kong artists. However, it seems that we can’t find anything that directly criticizes or accuses Taiwan Province artists. It doesn’t mean that Taiwan Province artists are not doing well or not doing enough to admire Hong Kong artists and point out that Hong Kong artists are moving.




  Judging from the current situation, this report by the Hong Kong media seems to be out of context and one-sided speculation. In the days of earthquake relief throughout the country, many stars have stepped forward and adopted various methods to help the relief work. However, such media reports that deliberately create contradictions are obviously irresponsible and should even be condemned, while some stars are credulous of a few media reports before they know the truth, which seems to be too hasty.

  In response to Cai Qin’s statement that "Taiwan Province artists are not United enough", Christine skillfully responded with wisdom: "I think what Sister Cai Qin means is not that we are not United, but that we are called upon to be more United. I don’t think her starting point is necessarily to criticize our artists in Taiwan Province. Maybe she wants us to rally more strength. Therefore, our younger generation will definitely abide by her precepts, and then we must gather our strength. " In contrast, Christine, who is also an artist in Taiwan Province, is relatively mature, and her attitude of "correcting what you have and encouraging what you don’t have" is worth learning from.




  Cai Qin donated more than 2 million Taiwan dollars.

  The reporter learned that after the earthquake, Cai Qin has done a lot of actions to help the disaster-stricken areas, and she donated 500,000 Taiwan dollars. At the time of the earthquake, Cai Qin was in the United States and participated in the donation at the first time. The total amount of the two donations has exceeded NT$ 2 million. However, Cai Qin is very low-key about the amount of donations. She hopes that artists will exert their influence, "infecting society to do good, not comparing numbers."




  Cai Qin: I won’t say anything if I am misinterpreted and wronged.

  "Since everyone is doing propaganda for the disaster area, they will not say anything if they are wronged." Cai Qin said. The large-scale theme party of "Cross-Strait Reconstruction with One Heart" was recorded in Starlight Studio last night.

  Cai Qin said: "Everyone’s strength is very small, including myself, but everyone’s love is very strong when they come together." As for the rumor that Cai Qin criticized Taiwan Province artists for not being active enough in disaster relief activities during a charity performance in Hong Kong, she explained: "Actually, I never said such a thing at all. My original words are: Hong Kong can mobilize 500 artists and 1,000 volunteers in such a short time, which shows that it is very experienced and worth learning. "

  As for the original intention being misinterpreted by the media, Cai Qin said that he was unwilling to pursue it further. "Since it is news about disaster relief, I won’t say anything if I feel aggrieved. I believe that we will be very United and will do a great job. "

Lu Yu’s tea, I heard that he didn’t take fame and fortune: tea smells like the past.

  Grandpa’s tea has a taste called home.

  Lu Yu’s tea is said to be neither famous nor profitable.

  Grandpa’s tea tastes good.

  Lu Yu’s tea is like a splash-ink landscape painting.

  The sandstorm of the Tang dynasty for thousands of years is still blowing.

  When I was young, I listened to "Grandpa’s Tea" sung in the streets and lanes, so I liked to sip the jasmine tea that Grandpa had just brewed. In the sweet tea fragrance, I guessed the appearance of Lu Yu thousands of years ago and wondered whether the landscape-like Tang tea was as elegant and free as him. Until today, I saw a seemingly unremarkable model of white porcelain tea set in the "Ancient China" exhibition hall of China National Museum, and finally understood Lu Yu’s unique, lofty and carefree elegance.

  White porcelain tea set and Lu Yu statue

  Five Dynasties (907-— 960)

  It was unearthed in Tangxian County, Hebei Province.

  Collected by China National Museum.

  At present, this set of tea sets is rich in categories, including an air-stove tea pot for boiling tea, a tea mortar for grinding tea powder, a slag bucket for holding tea residue and a tea bottle for ordering tea, and a white porcelain portrait with a long scroll in hand. If you look at it carefully and listen to it, you will find that every little thing seems to be telling the story of tea.

  Since Lu Yu was born in the world, the world has learned from each other.

  — — Song Mei Yaochen

  This set of tea sets is mostly used for decocting tea in Tang Dynasty. What is interesting is this white porcelain portrait. Who is the portrait and why is it put with the tea set? Scholars began to speculate.

  It is recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Biography of Hermitage: "When you drink tea, you will be worshipped as a tea god when you are in the shape of Tao Yu." It turned out that because of the far-reaching influence of the Book of Tea written by Lu Yu, since the late Tang Dynasty, tea sellers have regarded Lu Yu as a sacrifice to the tea god and also offered a small statue to put in a tea stall. At that time, whenever tea ware was bought to a certain amount, the store would give away a statue of Lu Yu, which was similar to the means of sales promotion of today’s merchants. This figurine was unearthed together with this tea set model, so it is supposed to be Lu Yu, the tea god with the Tea Classic.

  ▲ Lu Yu porcelain statue.

  Although the tea culture in China has a long history, according to the literature records, early tea may have been used as a food. As a special beverage, it should be no later than the Western Han Dynasty. By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, tea had once become a luxury drink, which was a symbol of scholar-officials boasting of simplicity.

  After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tea became more popular, from the royal family down to the common people, all loved tea, and tasting and discussing tea became a fashion. However, it was not until Lu Yu wrote Tea Classic that tea culture was systematically combed and written. Lu Yu was fascinated by tea art, carefully studied the experience of predecessors in making tea, and constantly summed up the practice, creating a book "Tea Classics".

  ▲ Lu Yu’s "Tea Classic" book shadow.

  The Book of Tea is divided into three volumes and ten sections, which systematically summarizes the knowledge of the origin, production, utensils and other aspects of tea at that time, setting a precedent for Chinese tea art. With the rapid popularization of the Book of Tea, Chinese people are paying more and more attention to the taste of tea itself, which is more elegant, more exquisite and more ceremonial. The appearance of Tea Classic promoted the prevalence of tea ceremony in Tang and Song Dynasties, and influenced every aspect of politics, economy, culture and life in Tang Dynasty and later generations, becoming one of the three largest tea books in the world.

  As soon as the fragrant spring is combined with milk, it is fried to make the beads boil.

  — — Don Pi Rixiu

  The way of drinking tea in Tang Dynasty was different from today. Instead of soaking, it was boiled. When drinking tea, first crush the tea cake into tea powder, boil the water from the pot and always pay attention to the boiling degree of the water. When it boils, it will be "seasoned with salt". When it boils, a bowl of water will be filled out, and the tea powder will be put into the pot for boiling. When it boils again, it will be poured back into the pot to "cultivate its beauty". When the tea soup is cooked, share it with everyone and drink it while it is hot. If you want to cook a good pot of tea, it is necessary to have an air furnace and a tea pot. The first words in The Four Instruments of Tea Classic show their importance.

  ▲ "Xiao Yi Earns Lanting Map" (partial) was passed on to Yan Liben in Tang Dynasty.

  Tea drinking in the Tang Dynasty is elegant, and the temperature of boiling water is quite particular. "The Five Boils of Tea Classics" said: "It boils like a fish’s eye, with a slight sound as one boiling, and the edge of it is like a spring and beads as two boiling, and the waves are three boiling." There are also many descriptions of boiling water in Tang poems, such as "rabbit hair is light and fragrant, and shrimp eye soup is fine and full of waves" (Lv Yan’s Dayun Temple Tea Poetry); Another example is "a fragrant spring with milk, fried and boiled." When you look at the crab’s eyes splashing, you can see the scales rising at first sight "(Pi Rixiu’s" Tea in Tea "). "Shrimp’s Eye", "Crab’s Eye", "Fishes" and "Spring and Beads" describe the appearance of bubbles rising from small to large in the water before boiling, and the water is already boiling when the waves are surging. The vivid description is not as accurate as the thermometer-type numerical expression today, but it is full of vivid poetry and meaningful aftertaste.

  — — Tang Liu Zongyuan

  The tea mortar in the tea set is shallow and has no glaze on the inner wall, so it should be used for grinding tea powder. In the Tang Dynasty, tea cakes must be crushed into tea powder before they can be decocted in water. Therefore, grinding tools such as mortar, grinding and grinding are essential. Liu Zongyuan, who loves tea, also wrote "Shan Tong knocks on the tea mortar across the bamboo" in My Occasional Works in Summer and Day.

  ▲ Tang Dynasty Yue Kiln Celadon Teapot.

  In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the tradition of making tea with tea powder in the Tang Dynasty was continued, and images such as tea mortar were common in poems and murals in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After the tea-boiling method rose in Ming and Qing dynasties, tea no longer needed grinding and drinking, and the tea mortar slowly withdrew. However, today, many places still retain the tradition of tea smashing, and we can still see the figure of tea mortar in the tools of tea smashing.

  ▲ Gannan Hakka tea.

  The more common tea grinding tool is the tea mill. "The Four Instruments of Tea Classics" says that "the grinding trough is best made of orange wood, followed by pear wood, Sang Mu, tung wood and zhe wood." Recently, many ceramic tea mills have been discovered in archaeology. It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty, tea ceremony flourished, and tea mills made of ceramics, wood and stone were more convenient to use and spread.

  In 1987, the discovery of the underground palace of the Tangta in Famen Temple made the royal treasure that had been treasured for more than 1000 years reappear in the world. A complete set of Tang Dynasty court tea set was unearthed in the underground palace, which is the earliest, highest grade and most complete court tea set known today. In the underground palace, the "Monument to the Clothing Account of the Gifted Props and Gifts for the Real Person" was also unearthed, which recorded in detail the names and other information of the offerings, including a set of exquisite grinding tools: the gold-plated flower silver enamel shaft and the gold-plated Hongyan tattooed silver tea trough. The shaft and the tea trough are used in a complete set, and the usage is similar to that of grinding herbs with traditional Chinese medicine today. The shaft is covered with gold-plated flowers and the silver-plated tea trough is covered with gold-plated Hongyan, which is magnificent and represents the highest level at that time.

  Tea bottles, also known as soup bottles, are used for heating or holding hot water. Tea bottles are generally short-flowing, and may be mixed with holding pots for pouring warm wine at first, and then slowly separated from wine utensils. A porcelain vase unearthed in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province in the third year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty (AD 829) was similar in shape to a pot-holding one, and the ink book at the bottom was "old"

  The words "home tea club bottle" show that at the latest in the middle Tang Dynasty, this kind of holding pot has been used as the exclusive tea bottle for tea sets.

  Tea bottles were generally not needed when frying tea in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no relevant record in Tea Classic, but it was an indispensable part of tea ordering in the late Tang Dynasty. When ordering tea, first boil water in a bottle, put the tea powder in a bowl, then hold the bottle and pour water into the bowl to make tea, and then blow it properly.

  The process of tea-ordering and water injection is somewhat similar to that of hand-brewing coffee today. When water is injected, it is necessary to control both the water flow speed and the water quantity, and the amount and weight of each water injection are particular. It turned out that the flow of holding the pot was short, and the water quantity and speed were difficult to control, so it was difficult to meet the demand. So the flow began to lengthen slowly, and the volume of the tea bottle gradually decreased, making it lighter and easier to order.

  According to Mr. Sun Ji’s textual research, the white porcelain tea set and Lu Yu statue in the National Museum of China, the tea bottle and the tea pot came out together, "showing that it was in the period of alternating frying tea and ordering tea". A small tea set, not only let us appreciate the elegant demeanour of fried tea in Tang Dynasty, but also get a glimpse of the rise of tea and feel the continuous development and evolution of China tea culture.

  Poetry is not tired of pounding fragrant teas, and it is appropriate to listen to elegant plays on the spur of the moment.

  — — Japan’s Emperor Xie ‘e

  1500 years ago, with the spread of Chinese culture, tea culture gradually went to the world. In the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks Zuichi, Konghai and others sailed across the sea, came to China to study culture, and brought China’s tea drinking methods and tea seeds back to Japan.

  Emperor Emei (Hong Ren, year 810-824) admired Chinese culture and loved tea. He not only ordered the planting of tea trees, but also left a poem "Never tire of pounding fragrant teas when reciting poems, but should listen to elegant plays on the spur of the moment". Under the vigorous promotion of Emperor Xie, Japanese aristocrats appeared the trend of imitating China people to taste tea, and later generations called it "Hong Ren Tea Style" because of its year number "Hong Ren". During the Silla period in North China, tea culture was imported in an all-round way, and tea was spread and developed from the upper class, monks and scribes to the people, and tea was planted and made. Tea culture has thus developed into a distinctive feature of East Asian culture.

  "Liu Yu bubble tea, I heard that fame and fortune don’t take, he took a thin horse in the end of the world. The sandstorm of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years is still blowing. " In fact, it’s not only the sandstorm that has traveled through the Millennium, but also the fragrant tea that China people are attached to. China people love tea, its elegant and mellow quality, the lingering aftertaste and the lingering smell of home. As Mr. Lin Yutang once wrote, "As long as there is a teapot, China people are happy everywhere."

Reading music Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s "Overfire": Yes, yes, I started to sing like crazy again. …

Reading Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s "Overfire" in Music.

The song "Going Too Far" is really a classic in Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s music library. On July 8, 2023, I went to see the Jeff Chang Shin-Che Concert in Fuzhou for the first time, and the first song I sang was "Overfire", which was almost a chorus of the whole audience. How can people not remember it deeply?

This song has a deep pain, but it also has a feeling of no resentment, but it seems that it has all ended. Sometimes it even feels that it has ended before it started. Sometimes, is it completely released to give freedom to the other party? There is no answer, only through. After scenes of crazy years for love, after a deep commitment for love, and after a struggle for right and wrong, do you release and fly?

If these are all too much, then let go, let go, and set you free. Just turn around and turn around, and the affectionate scenes will be gone? I don’t know what the dream is, will it be broken, and the short-term pain will still suddenly come to mind at an unknown time of the year. Turbulent emotions, such as waves beating against the giant glass of high-rise buildings, just can’t get in, still! But the voice that resounded through Genting plunged the whirlpool of feelings deeper and deeper until it was unforgettable, right? Can’t forget it.

Therefore, listening to this song "Overfire", the fault of tearing and the drifting away of commitment become clear and profound at night! Clouds are like smoke, and if alcohol evaporates, it will disperse when walking. Do you think that the kind of moths that used to throw fire is a kind of "fire"? But those who don’t come back can’t come back, and even more whispers can’t change anything.

Just listening to this song "Overfire", I just seem to think about him or her, but I have fallen into the precious "entanglement" of being loved and loved, let go and left, and gradually I can’t go back. Really? Yes, I started singing like crazy again.
