At a cafe, a staff member carefully pours milk into a cup of coffee. With a few quick movements to mix and stir, a picture slowly appears on the smooth brown surface. People come closer, take photos and enjoy the little artwork in the cup.
在一家咖啡馆里，一位工作人员小心地将牛奶倒入一杯咖啡中。通过几次快速的混合和搅拌动作，一幅图画慢慢地出现在光滑的棕色表面上。人们走近，拍照并欣赏杯子里的小艺术品。
Today, many people enjoy such beautiful pictures made on top of coffee. But did you know that making art in tea cups began much earlier? In fact, it started in China centuries ago as a traditional practice called Dian Cha (点茶).
今天，许多人喜欢在咖啡上制作的这种美丽图画。但你知道吗，在茶杯中创作艺术始于更早的时期？事实上，它始于几个世纪前的中国，是一种被称为 “点茶” 的传统做法。
Tea culture began to grow in the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907). In the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), tea was part of the life for almost everyone. A famous poet, Wang Anshi, even said that tea was as important as rice, oil, and salt. Dian Cha was invented and developed during this period. Later, this practice spread to other parts of East Asia including Japan.
茶文化在唐朝（618-907 年）开始发展。在宋朝（960-1279 年），茶几乎成为每个人生活的一部分。著名诗人王安石甚至说，茶和米、油、盐一样重要。点茶就是在这个时期发明和发展起来的。后来，这种做法传播到了包括日本在内的东亚其他地区。
The work is not simple. First, hot water was poured over fine powdered tea to make a paste. Then, more hot water was added slowly. At the same time, the tea was beaten quickly with a bamboo stick. Step by step, the water and tea mixed together, creating a fine foam on the top. Then the maker can draw pictures on the top. The process takes about ten minutes, and the tea should be around 40°C when ready to drink.
这项工作并不简单。首先，将热水倒在精细的茶粉上制成茶糊。然后，慢慢加入更多的热水。同时，用竹棍快速击打茶叶。一步一步地，水和茶混合在一起，在顶部形成一层细腻的泡沫。然后制作者可以在顶部绘制图画。这个过程大约需要十分钟，茶在可以饮用时的温度应该在 40°C 左右。
The key is speed and strength. Usually, one needs to beat the tea between 180 and 200 times before the foam appears. It is careful work but must be done quickly, or the foam will clear away.
关键是速度和力量。通常，在泡沫出现之前，需要击打茶叶 180 到 200 次。这是一项细致的工作，但必须快速完成，否则泡沫会消散。
It often takes a year of practice to learn the skill. However, the beautiful designs do not remain forever. They usually vanish within an hour. Still, Dian Cha shows the wisdom of Chinese tea culture. Today, even though our ways of drinking tea have changed, the spirit of Dian Cha lives on. Its values and traditions can still influence generation after generation.
学习这项技能通常需要一年的练习。然而，这些美丽的设计不会永远保留。它们通常在一小时内就会消失。尽管如此，点茶展示了中国茶文化的智慧。今天，即使我们的饮茶方式已经改变，点茶的精神依然存在。它的价值观和传统仍然可以影响一代又一代的人。
