Longjing's Reverie: Balancing Tea's Benefits and Side Effects

As winter's chill settled upon Hangzhou's West Lake, my friend Wei Zhou and I began our yearly ritual - steeping the prized Longjing tea while discussing the changes each new season brings. Its floral aroma lifted our spirits, as always, reminding us why this Chinese green is cherished.

But this year, Wei shared new concerns about excess caffeine keeping her up at night. As reports link black and oolong teas more strongly to insomnia than greens, studies show varying caffeine levels between Longjing cultivars - some containing as little as 20mg per 8oz cup. Location and processing methods also impact antioxidants and L-theanine content.

Drawing from traditional Chinese philosophy, I reminded Wei that Daoists viewed tea as heightening qi rather than "stimulation." Mindful moments appreciating subtle flavors are said to cultivate presence over restlessness. Indeed, research indicates various compounds may affect individuals differently depending on wellness factors like stress levels.

We then prepared our tea using gongfu cha's intentional approach - smaller leaf amounts steeped successively in a Yixing teapot allow deeper flavor extraction with lower intake. The sensory ritual nourishes spirit as much as body. Passing each brew with gestures of appreciation aligns us with Longjing's cultural journey, brought from China along the Silk Road by merchants.

Perhaps our celebration need not end, but evolve - as all things must - to honor tradition while caring for wellbeing, I reassured Wei. With research-guided moderation and mindfulness embraced like the ancient tea sages, Longjing's poetry can continue soothing mind and spirit for seasons to come. May its gentle verses transport all seekers of calm reflection during life's changes.

Q: Man crush, honestly, do you think that West Lake Vinegar Fish is delicious? Can you finish a plate of Vinegar Fish from Louwailou by yourself?

A: Actually, I really can’t. At most, I can eat two bites. But I’ve heard that they’ve improved their recipe lately and now it’s very delicious.

1609

Q: Shu, how long do you spend online from day to night? Your mental state is great. (T/N: “great” as in “wow what a mental state!”) A: I actually have too many things to write but well, I’m a liuliang celebrity, aren’t I?

1609

Q: The unbeatable, most handsome man crush in the universe, may I ask if Wu Xie would get caught by Xiaoge and Pangzi for sneakily buying game currency in LOL so he can buy skins? A: You can’t skimp on skins no matter how poor you are. Everyone understands this.

1611

Q: Sanshu, you have written about so many places in China, have you considered letting the Iron Triangle go tomb robbing overseas? A: I’ve written a movie script previously. The three of them were kidnapped and brought inside a pyramid. I was prepared to direct it myself but there was an Ebola outbreak right when the filming site in West Sahara finished construction.

1611

Q: I’ll post this again. Lei, can you invite the original singer to perform Three Days of Silence next year? People go to the bathroom three times (T/N: this is the proverb meaning to visit a place persistently until you get the result you want), why don't you go to the bathroom three hundred times. After all, there’s still more than 300 days till the next 817.

A: I visit once per day? Won’t it make me look like a loan shark?

1613

Q: When will this Q&A end?

A: It won’t end. I will answer at any time.

1613

Q: Shu, you’ve previously said that you’ll slowly delete the drafts on your public account. Can you not delete them? I really like to read the drafts over and over again.

A: There isn’t enough space. There’s too many [drafts]. Even if I don’t delete them, you can’t find them either.

1615

Q: If Zhang Qiling could only say one sentence to Wu Xie in this lifetime, what would he say?

A: I can only say one sentence to you in this lifetime, go get paper and pencil, I’m going to start saying this sentence and try my best to not stop and tell you everything that I can say, don’t interrupt me, let’s see how long I can make this sentence, now listen up, Wu Xie, my plan is goes like this bla bla bla bla bla—

1616

Q: Do you think that you can write better than you have previously? Or has that best feeling stage passed? A: I can go back [to that state], but I will go insane. Once I go insane, I will hurt everyone, including you all.

1618

Q: Shu, I think you wrote the best when you were in the psychiatry hospital. Can you trouble yourself and fulfill us and go there again? A: Here comes the crazy guy.

1620

Q: I’m praying for Shu to get Tianshou today and update nonstop.

A: Once the Tianshou ends, there’s a great probability that I will go to Liuheta (T/N: a culture park in Hangzhou, West Lake area) and run around naked.

1623

Q: What were the first impressions Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie had of each other?

A: Wu: Wah, it’s a show off. Zhang: Looks like there’s a layman on the team.

1624

Q: Man crush, if you were to choose a birthplace in DMBJ, would you choose the Golmud Sanatorium or the Bronze Gate?

A: Are these birth places? What is my mom thinking?

1629

Q: Which one do you like more; going to work or going to jail? Can you write while you’re in jail or write while you’re at work?

A: What’s the difference?

1631

Q: Shu, what do you think ZHH means to you?

A: I was suffering a lot when I wrote ZHH. It was before my mental breakdown. I went crazy after finishing it.

60 questions in! /laid flat on the ground. Only 60 questions in... and the list keeps getting longer. On one hand, I kinda regret spacing these out so much but on the other hand... I need something to fill my days between the ZHH updates. Maybe I'll do double updates tomorrow! Who Knows!

wang yibo - hangzhou asian games breakdance promotional film behind the scenes

The director team closely followed the theme of the Asian Games in terms of clothing styling. The clothes that artist Wang Yibo wore in front of the break dance competition venue were T-shirts from the Hangzhou Asian Games venue series. Wang Tianhao, the film's styling director, said that dozens of looks were designed based on the model of a gentle man who is graceful, gentle as jade, and has a temperament like orchid.

After Wang Yibo took over, Song Yun's beauty and youthful strength were perfectly reflected. According to the designer Wu Yuqing (Xiyue), the intangible cultural heritage inheritor, the intangible cultural heritage fabric of the cross-collar gown made in the Song Dynasty is woven with a hand-made yarn structure. It took several intangible cultural heritage craftsmen to complete the handloom for half a year. The whole is centered around the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon. the flower dill pattern that diffuses the dark pattern of the West Lake is very unique. Another piece of plain gauze singlet with a round collar from the Song Dynasty refers to the tomb of Zhou Yu in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is made of plain silk, a specialty of Hangzhou. The unique dyeing process presents the artistic conception of seeing the moon through the clouds amid the scenery of lakes and mountains.
