[edit] Old talk 1

"In Chinese culture, people make serious apologies to others by pouring tea on them." Pouring tea ON them? That sounds like a vandalism to me (but I'm unsure.) Anyone? 67.160.86.119 11:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old talk 2

This is From Ho: Well, this is a pretty good start for the page.(Thanks =P) But the direction of the page now is a little bit further apart from the one we've discussed and we're supposed to do. Should we make it more HONG KONG BASED? Or at least include this page with more information concerning the connection between Chinese Tea Culture and Hong Kong people?

I don't know, but anyway, if no objection, i will add a subtopic stating that this page is particular for Hong Kong.

Best wishes for U all~!

Ho, your Wiki does not have to be about Hong Kong. I said Hong Kong only because it was something I was SURE that everyone knew about. But Chinese tea culture is fine, in general. You can have a subsection in this entry just about Hong Kong specific stuff. How about that?

From H0113309(Hing):

actually i think start by talking Chinese tea culture is fine, as tea culture is started from China. Hong Kong tea culture also comes from China. There are many similar things between China and Hong Kong tea culture. So, we can add some more about Hong Kong base on the Chinese's tea culture.

I took some photo about teapots and tea. should I add them just under the articles?

If they are meaningful to the article, by all means put them in there. Keep them small, though. Don't make too big Fuzheado 03:42 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Yo is Ho again, nothing but to say hi this time.. I don't know what will be the deadline of this thing, Monday or 17thJuly?? anyone know that? HO

From Hing, I added some pic to the page ar. but actually i don't know it's such large!! can anyone tell me how to modify them? or you can help me to do so! Thanx!! (those pic is took by me, i took all my father's brewing tea utensils out.)

From HO, Hing, Those are nice pictures~! to reduce the size of them u may edit the picture by program like photoshop (chopping it) and the post it again.

From Hing: actually, i cut those pictures before uploading, all the pictures are of differnent sizes, but don't know why they come out with the same size!

From HO,
I have finished cutting the size of the pictures, but for Hing, i know there were words for the pictures when clicked. But as the new ones are submitted by me, there aren't anymore. So, do u mind adding it back?
And did u guy read the E-mail by ALih? We are doing quite a good job now, keep it on~!

Moved Chinese Tea Culture to Chinese tea culture. Proper-common noun distinction. --Menchi

Hong Kongers, you can sign your name with 4 "~" (~~~~).

The grammar and english usage in this article is horrible. Someone needs to take the time to fix it.

--Jiang 05:29 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

The grammar is ok -- mine isn't much better! FearÉIREANN commented this non-native English mistakes on the mailing list about 2 months ago and suggested some kinda special watchlist or -page, but nothing really concluded. Anyway, I see them as: If you see them, fix them if you like to or really can't stand it. Otherwise, we just move on and do our own interested things -- like what I'm about to do.... --Menchi 21:08 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Old talk 5

I'm going to start the process of translating from Chinglish into English. (Use of the term "Chinglish" is tongue-in-cheek. Please don't get snippy.) I'd appreciate any help people could offer. This is a massive article.... --MTR (严加华) 13:35 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Old talk 6

Someone with the know-how could reduce the size of those images. They are waay to large. --Jiang 07:42 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I made the images half the size of the former ones and quickly ran them through some color correction. Is that what you wanted? -- cheers, --synthetik 13:36 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Old talk 7

Just a note about the "Thank You" section: I lived in northern China for a year, and was told all about the custom of tapping the finger to give thanks for someone else pouring my tea. This also logically follows, as the tradition originated in Beijing. Do you suppose the contributor confused north and south when writing that section? Sun da sheng 01:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sweetener/lemon

Can someone knowledgeable add something about the use of sweeteners (rock sugar or other sweeteners) and lemon in Chinese traditional tea culture? Badagnani 03:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

By the way, what is the meaning of these words in the section "Etymology"?

thay also eat dogs thay also eat monkeys thay also eat cow poop

It seems they are such kind of vandalizing and they have nothing to do with the article about chinese tea. Citra28 17:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly Some Vandalism

I saw this when I was reading through the article:

Kungfu cha is drunk in Chaoshan because it is part of the Chaoshan culture. They have a term for it and cannot be translated to another Chinese language. In Chaoshan hua [using Guangdong PinYin for Chaoshan hua], it is Ain7goin1 Bhung7Huê3 閒間文化[閒间文化]. It is when friends and family get together in a room to drink Kungfu cha and chat. During such occasions, tradition and culture are passed on to the younger generation.

"Kungfu cha" and "Ain8goin1 Bhung7Huê3"... right.

I suggest that this page be retyped, especially due to the lack (absence) of sources. MastaFighta 04:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No source citations

I added a unreferenced tag to the page since no there are no source citations. MastaFighta 01:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teahouse scam

This section seems more applicable to WikiTravel than Wikipedia, and it would be helpful to know how much a tea ceremony should cost to know if one is being scammed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Standoor (talk • contribs) 09:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
