Zen Tea Performance
Osmanthus tea is one of the main types of tea in China, belonging to flower tea, made from osmanthus flowers and tea leaves, with a rich and lasting fragrance and bright soup color. The Middle Way Zen Dance is a method of self-cultivation that integrates Zen culture with dance art. Through the practitioner's own energy, the body is stretched, and in the dance, one becomes aware of the changes of thoughts, returning to the pure nature.
Before the performance began, the documentary 'Rare, Lijiang Spring' on osmanthus tea from 'China Brand Archives' was used to integrate osmanthus tea and Middle Way Zen Dance, forming a beautiful landscape.

(Using the documentary 'Rare, Lijiang Spring' on osmanthus tea from 'China Brand Archives' as a guide)
On May 6, 2019, the Old Story Channel's 'China Brand Archives' special program team sent an inspection team to Guilin Lijiang Tea Factory Co., Ltd., visited the company's tea garden, production workshop, and store, and had a very detailed and in-depth exchange with the company's chairman Huang Rongxiong on the origin, production processing, development status of osmanthus tea, and how Mr. Huang established the 'Lijiang Spring' brand, and his persistence in the osmanthus tea industry.
After a three-month review period, the topic 'Rare, Lijiang Spring' officially passed the strict material review and on-site inspection by the Old Story Channel's 'China Brand Archives' project team, qualifying for participation in the filming.
Due to the traditional craft of osmanthus tea being produced only during the blooming of osmanthus in the Mid-Autumn Festival, on October 22, 2019, director Liu Fenghua of the program "China Brand Archives" led a filming crew to Guilin, starting a 6-day shoot.
"Rare, Lijiang Spring" mainly tells the story of Mr. Huang Rongxiong, chairman of Guilin Lijiang Tea Factory Co., Ltd., who has insisted on making osmanthus tea for nearly 40 years. The film vividly narrates the entire process of traditional osmanthus tea production, starting from the selection of tea leaves and fresh osmanthus flowers to the infusion of tea and flowers.
A leaf and a flower.
Life goes from withering, to rebirth, and then to blooming.
Perhaps it is a reminder to the hurried people passing by.
In addition to the beautiful mountains and rivers bestowed by nature to the people of Guilin,
perhaps a cup of tea,
can better immerse the essence of Guilin into the soul from deep within.
