On December 16th, 2025, the library successfully hosted a tea ceremony workshop. Professor Wang Xiaoxi, a renowned scholar from Harbin Institute of Technology, served as the keynote speaker and, together with the students, orchestrated a grand feast of tea culture.
During this workshop, Professor Wang provided a detailed explanation of the origin and classification of tea, the characteristics and health benefits of the top ten famous teas, as well as the skills for preparing tea using Yixing clay teapots. Additionally, the students also acquired knowledge about tea leaves, tea sets, and the art of tea brewing. Moreover, the professor invited the students to savor the renowned teas such as White Tea Qilan.
By contemplating the principles of tea, we learn the natural laws and philosophies of life; through practicing tea ceremony etiquette, we cultivate self-discipline and moral integrity; amidst the varying strengths and flavors of tea, we gain insight into the ups and downs of life. Tea mirrors life itself—the tea ceremony serves as a path for us to calm our minds, nurture an open-hearted and resilient character, and ultimately achieve personal growth.
