每年的5月21日是“国际茶日”，由2019年第74届联合国大会宣布设立，以赞美茶叶对经济、社会和文化的价值，是以中国为主的产茶国家首次成功推动设立的农业领域国际性节日。

On May 21st each year since 2019, the United Nations General Assembly has designated International Tea Day, which celebrates tea to make value to the economy, society and culture. It is also the first international festival established in the agricultural field that was led and boosted by China and other tea-producing countries.

中国传统制茶工艺

Traditional Chinese Tea Making Technique

茶源起于中国，盛行于世界。《茶经》曰：“茶之为饮，发乎神农氏。”茶源自中国，是人与自然互动的杰作，见证了悠久绵长的中国历史脉络。

Tea has its roots in China. Today it has grown to be a worldwide favorite. Author Lu Yu, Patron Saint of Tea, wrote in The Classic of Tea (Cha Jing), “Tea as a beverage, starts from Shennong (the God of Farming and Agriculture, or Divine Farmer).” The consumption of tea as a beverage can be traced back to ancient China thousands of years ago, where it later emerged as a masterpiece of man’s interaction with nature. Across centuries, tea has borne witness to China’s long history and rich cultural heritage.

唐之煎茶，宋之点茶，明清以来之泡茶——在中华文明的历史中，中国人民传承和发展了多彩丰富的制茶技艺及习俗，创造出泓涵演迤的中华茶文化。

Starting with the Tang Dynasty’s method of boiling tea, evolving to the Song Dynasty’s method of whisking tea, and to the more contemporary technique of brewing tea since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Chinese people have inherited and advanced a rich and diverse array of tea-processing techniques and customs. This has resulted in the creation of a vast and profound Chinese tea culture, which continues to captivate and enchant connoisseurs of tea worldwide.

茶早已融入了中国人的集体基因中，世代传承，至今贯穿于中国人的日常生活、仪式和节庆活动中。中国人通过制茶、泡茶、品茶，培育了“包容兼蓄”的开放心态，淬炼了温润谦和的品格。作为“举国之饮”，茶折射着中华民族丰沛达观的精神世界。

Tea has long been embedded in the collective DNA of the Chinese people, passed down from generation to generation and is present in their daily lives, rituals and festivities. Through the delicate art of tea-making, tea-drinking, and tea-tasting, the Chinese have cultivated an inclusive attitude and a humble, gentle character. As the “national drink”, tea serves as a profound reflection of the Chinese people’s rich and optimistic spiritual world, and an enduring symbol of their vibrant and dynamic culture.

茶亦是中国与世界交流对话的桥梁和纽带。过去，中国茶通过丝绸之路慕风远飏、跨越国界，推动了世界文明的交往共荣；今天，茶以载道，所蕴含“和而不同、美美与共”之价值理念，将继续助益中欧文明交流互鉴，深化双方合作互信。

More than a delicious beverage, tea serves also as a bridge and bond between China and the world. Throughout history, Chinese tea has traveled across borders on land and by sea via the Silk Road to promote the exchanges and mutual learning of diverse civilizations. Today, tea remains a symbol of values such as “harmony in diversity” and “beauty in sharing”, fostering cultural interaction and mutual trust between China and Europe.
