It is said that "tea is enough to deceive others, wine is too much to respect others", what's the point? It is recommended to understand and make sure not to make mistakes

Tasting tea is elegant and tasting wine is pleasant.

Since ancient times, China has been a famous home of tea, wine, and . From literati to traffickers and foot soldiers, tea and alcohol are indispensable.

As a country of etiquette, China's drinking tea and drinking are important ways to entertain guests. Naturally, many rules have been derived. Among them, the saying "tea is enough to deceive others, wine is enough to respect others" is even more widely circulated.

So, where did this sentence come from? What are the teachings and sayings? Today, the author will tell you in detail.

Tea is full of deceiving people

► The saying "Tea is full of deceiving people" first originated from in the Song Dynasty .

It is said that in the Song Dynasty, there was an official who was easy-going and friendly, so friends often came to talk to him.

One day, when the official was drinking tea and talking with another official, a scholar came to visit the official, so the official poured a whole cup of tea for the other official, and implicitly indicated that he still had guests to see.

This official was also a smart man. He stood up and said goodbye directly, and then left in a hurry. This incident of

later spread to the people, and gradually there was a saying of "tea man deceiving others" (or "tea manchu driving people away").

► In addition to "bullying", the reason why the tea is not filled is to make it easier for guests to drink tea.

We all know that boiling water is usually used when making tea. If the tea is filled up, the tea cup will become scalding and guests will not be able to pick it up with their hands.

If the tea is poured too full, it is very easy to spill the tea, causing the guests to be unable to drink tea attentively.

So the saying that the tea is not full actually represents the Chinese people’s meticulous hospitality .

Respecting people when you are full of wine

► "Respecting people when you are full of wine" was first used to protect others.

It is said that in ancient times, some people with evil intentions would poison the wine when pouring it to murder others.

So when people invite others to drink, in order to show their sincerity, they will fill both parties' wine glasses, so that when they clink glasses, the wines of both parties will be mixed into each other's glasses, and drink first to prove that they have no evil intentions.

Therefore, "respecting people with full wine" also means "doing it first to respect others".

►Now the "wine-filled toast" is more to express respect for the guests.

The liquor that we Chinese people often drink is made from grain, and every drop is hard-won. Therefore, in an era when food was not sufficient, filling up the wine for guests was the greatest respect for guests .

And when it comes to drinking, Chinese people have always been "generous", and it is our norm to drink from a large bowl. Therefore, filling the wine to the top expresses one's enthusiasm for guests .

But remember, good wine will make friendship deep, but bad wine will hurt friendship.

When it comes to wine for entertaining guests, good wine should be the main one, and the filling should be supplemented. However, this does not mean that you must choose big-name wine. It is really difficult to afford a bottle of several thousand yuan.

More importantly, if you can entertain big-name wines once, what about the next time?

Therefore, when entertaining guests with wine, it is best to choose some regional wines brewed from pure grains, such as these two. They not only taste good, but also show your intention in choosing the wine and highlight your sincerity .
