Read afternoon tea and answer the questions:Why did the Duchess invite friends to come for tea in the afternoon?

In the 18th and 19th centuries,the English ate only two main meals each day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last several hours in the evenings. As a result, people often got hungry during the long wait between these two meals.

Enjoy tea,and enjoy life.it’s

colourful!

The Chinese have a saying: 'Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin

a day.' Though tea is last on the list, we still can see the importance of tea in daily life.

  A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.   For the Chinese, tea drinking and tea tasting are

not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment .   Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should

match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.
