Unit 6 When was it invented?

China is famous for tea. Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world. It’s

said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand

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.

Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea.

They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented (有香味的) tea. without fermentation (发酵),

green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be

black tea. Oolong tea is partially (部分的) fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea

during the processing the scented tea will be made.

Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example, Xi'an and Hangzhou are widely

known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they

are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later, the tea is packed and sent for many

different countries and places around China.

It’s believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England,

tea didn’t appear until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the

19th century.

fish. Starting 2,000years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good

luck to Earth.

In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise

makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the

noise and ran away.

About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies

there.Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their

fields They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their

way out of Asia.Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts

of the world and have great fun.

Over the years,Kites have also helped people understand the natural world.In 1749, for example,

thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took

pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do.

kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.
