Unit 6 When was it invented?

P43 3a

An Accidental Invention

Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.

More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, 「the saint of tea」, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.

It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Section A 3a

一項偶然的發明

你知道茶，作為世界上最受歡迎的飲料（僅次於水），是一項偶然的發明嗎？許多人都認為在5000年以前就開始了飲茶。據說一位叫神農的中國統治者最早發現茶可以飲用。一天，神農在戶外的爐火上燒水，茶樹上有幾片葉子掉入水裡，過了一會，散發出怡人的香味，於是神農品嘗了這褐色的水，它非常香醇，就這樣，世界上最受歡迎的飲料之一被發明了。

數千年後，「茶聖」陸羽在他的《茶經》一書中提到了神農。該書描述了如何種植茶樹和泡茶，它還討論了什麼地方出產最好的茶葉，而且還應該使用什麼樣的水來泡茶。

人們認為茶是在公元6-7世紀傳播到日本和朝鮮。在英國，大約直到1660年才發現，但不到100年的時間裡，茶已經成為國飲。從中國到西方的茶葉貿易始於19世紀。這使得茶樹和茶葉傳播到世界更多地方，使之深受歡迎。雖然現在又許多人都了解一些茶文化，但毫無疑問的是，中國人才是最了解茶之本質（精髓）的人。
