Abstract

Tea, fragrant leaves, tender buds. Admiring poets and loving monks. "Since ancient times, tea has shone brightly in the long river of Chinese culture, and matcha, as a unique and highly charming member of the tea family, has an extraordinary history and profound influence. Matcha, with its delicate powder form and unique drinking method, has come from ancient times. It originated in China, emerged during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and reached its peak during the Song dynasty, becoming a popular pastime among literati, scholars, and court nobles. Its complex tea making techniques, exquisite tea ceremonies, and cultural and social activities surrounding it not only shaped people's lifestyles and aesthetic interests at that time, but also deeply imprinted in artistic creations such as poetry and painting, becoming an important carrier of cultural inheritance. With the evolution of history, matcha spread to Japan and took root locally, giving birth to a unique Japanese matcha culture and further showcasing its cross regional cultural charm. In modern society, matcha has made a strong comeback with its healthy image and unique flavor, integrating into people's lives in various forms such as matcha drinks and desserts. Its commercial value is increasingly prominent, and tea companies are laying out the matcha industry. In depth exploration of the influence of matcha culture and its development in different historical periods and modern society is undoubtedly of great significance for appreciating the profoundness of tea culture, exploring its diverse values in contemporary times, and promoting cultural inheritance and innovation.
