“in the course of human civilization, only three non-alcoholic beverages emerged, made of tea, cocoa beans and coffee beans”
“these three beverages were thought to be associated with a reasonable lifestyle, a more comfortable feeling and a better stimulation.”
The above text is reproduced in jean-chamber's world history. It is a great honour for us to have the author in this book telling us with firm data that tea first, coffee second, cocoa beans third。
Tea is the last of the seven things the chinese have opened. “caymy oil and salt sauce tea”, “taywood”, first, addressing material energy problems; and “tea”, last, providing energy for human spiritual activities。
Where are we in time? In ancient times, the mouths of the tea-drinking mouths have passed between time and time, and the fragrance of the coffee has happened to me, and has willingly given a part of the joyful feeling, and the love of ironing the coffee. The world history of jean-coffee has opened up the clouds of the coffee world, dispersing the shadows of the flowers in the fog, drawing people into the canoe of coffee, reading books, tastes, landscapes on the shore, coffee being the best ferryer。
The tea is like the twilight of the twilight, like the twilight umbrella in the rain, and the coffee is delivered at the corner of the street to bring the light of the morning and the sorrow of the evening。
History never lacks food, history never picks food, but historians pick it up, and an american, mr. William ux, wrote a book entitled " the world history of jean-coffee " , which was repeatedly mentioned。
And in the land of tea, we enter into the texts of the coffee narratives of the author, in the taste of the spiritual treasure of the bitter ones。
Maybe it's like making tea with the bitter fragrance of coffee, and the bitter fragrance of tea with the bitter fragrance of coffee will create a “single” state of mind, each happy and moving forward. No wonder william uckers almost spoke chinese medicine to humans, “the medicinal function of coffee is almost compatible with tea”. In fact, they have a higher value in medicine, which is to heal the human spirit by fighting hard。
Tea and coffee shake hands on the tip of the tongue when there is bitterness to say. And the bitterness of the tea, when it is turned into sweetness, and the sweetness of the lips, and the bitterness of the coffee, condensed into strong fragrance and resonant tongues. This happy and bitter family, such as dillon, contains elements of truth that can well define their suffering and are compatible with the human spirit。
There is no greater suffering than the loss of human spirit from its height。
On this occasion, have a drink. May you be patiently determined, not tamed by the temptation of sweetness, and take from it the bitter smell of human reason, and give us comfort in the spirit of bitterness。
Coffee: an intellectual drink
I'm attracted to a few paintings of coffee。
Indeed, they are well known for their extraordinaryness。
However, in the history of the world of coffee, when they enter the world with a monologue of consciousness, they are all too new to be impressed by the heart。
They are not the ones who come to the end of the book, and the images and texts of encounters lead us to a deeper sense of reading, following their bitterness and returning to our hearts, and with the inner light we are privileged to see coffee participating in the process of human spiritual development。
This is not only a world history of coffee on the ocean, but also a history of troubles with repeated coffee, a romantic history of legendary adventures, and a history of literature, art and, of course, economic interests surrounding coffee, a history of social rituals, social history and so on. The plume of the sea is like a stream of mountains, but we take a pot of water to find the depths of coffee. And that is the history of the relationship between coffee and the human mind that we care more about, and the decryption of the human obsession with “the spirit stimulants” as “the magic beans of heaven”。
“girls delivering coffee”, such as the dawn light, when she enters the threshold of the nineteenth century with light, there is a fragrance of human depression。
The silence is sometimes so deep that you can hear the solitude of the solitude in the "night cafe". At that time, there was only a café, which was filled with a fragrance of consolation, and which took in the twilight standings and left their self-smuggling sorrows. Vincent van gogh, who was also admitted to the café, sits in one corner of the “oscade of the night” and sits in the corner of the house, with loneliness and loneliness, and the painter may have a cup of coffee in his heart。
I have coffee, you have the spirit of art, in exchange? Deal。
And a vast soul with bitter scents, and in a small café, it gives the sky wide, with a clear constellation of stars, with silent blues, and then into warm light, the bitterness of tasted coffee and the palate of fate。
There is no longer a more bitter taste of coffee than that of a painter, who can slowly decipher himself in a humble fashion, where there is no socialization, but the display of different souls。
Van gogh wrote to his brother theo: “the so-called `midnight café' is a homeless man who can't afford to live in his house or who can't afford to go to sleep in the mud, and who is being kept out of his way, but who can stay here. In this painting, i want to show that the café is a place for nightwalkers to rot, lose their minds or commit crimes, and i try to show it all.”
But his sensitivity was restored, and the source of the starry at the midnight café was restored, and the bitter fragrance of the fragrance removed all the harm caused by the day. For van gogh, the artistic accent of the café, or unlike the gallery, it smells bitter, irons the emotions, has a deep salvation, while the gallery only labels it。
The inspirational dimensions of people are different, as are the cross-sections of the human soul。
If we had come to france in the nineteenth century, to the right bank of the seine, we would have seen the scene at that time, and intellectuals would have liked to talk about their times around bitter coffee. The “intellectualist” of the lodunda cafe, who met with the facade of the fashion world, drew new heights of thought and art in the cafe. Hemingway testified that, in sunrise, he wrote that you wanted drivers on the right bank of the seine to go to any café in montparnás, and they always sent you to “lodunda”。
The owner is important, and there is no lodunda café without the owner. The master is a good fat old man, and look at the "poor sour spirits" — artists, poets, poets, poets, thirty-fifty. He is hard to understand, but when the old masters have no money, he can always give them a bitter look, and occasionally buys one or two of them with little money. More often, they leave an empty cup on the table, waiting for the nosy dower to give a cup of coffee。
They also drink cheap absinthes and absinthe fragrances, which can please or muscular nerves, while the coffee fragrances go the other way and awaken the intoxication caused by it. Things in the world, but anything interesting, can make a historic bridge。
Look at that. With bitter coffee, it's the same。
At that time, the café had to be closed at 2 a. M. To comply with the paris police regulations, and at 3 a. M. It had to be reopened, and the owner had to sell the coffee shop to look after homeless street artists or civilian scholars and to try to keep it closed as long as possible to protect anarchists。
If the fragrance of coffee is the soul of a city, then the fragrance of the soul is the flower of bitterness. In the bitter fragrance of “lodunda”, they woven rose rings from each other's inspiration and ideas. So, not only is it a fashionable little tact on the left and right banks of the seine, but it is also a sharp, precipitous view of the mind, and europe in the nineteenth century, in the café, has already spilled a fragrance of ideal politics。
Café: “one pence university”
We would like to thank the coffee for its gift to the human spirit, as it is inextricably linked to the cause of reason, thought and thought about the fate of humankind。
As early as the seventeenth century, britain had had an honourable revolution and a monarchy, and there was no doubt that their rise was closely linked to the rapid spread of coffee in great britain。
At that time, all the cafes on the island of england, with the example of the london café, were bitter and fragranced and proud to be thought clubs。
London had more than 2,000 coffee spaces at the time, and any one would be filled by people who profited from it, but never without its rules and dignity。
People are quoted as giving one pence or two pence to carry a fragrance of coffee or a newspaper, to enjoy the full opportunity to talk and the knowledge, ideas, etc. Of all kinds. The british are very fond of such cafes, nicked as “schools made up of conversations”, which are popular in the mills and referred to as “universities of pence”。
School fees are 1 pence, a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, and 2 pence includes the cost of newspapers and lighting, school supplies, etc., and the money is left on the bar when entering or leaving a café. Everyone can come to the café and have an intelligent and wonderful conversation。
In the “one pence university” era, the people were tired of the evils of the last dynasty of stuart and desperately needed a place for public meetings to discuss major issues, which made the café a “street council” to focus on popular opinion, popular outreach and finally democracy. The efforts of the british people for political freedom were, in fact, conceived and won in a café。
At the time, there was a recitation of “one pence university”:
What a wonderful university! I don't think there'll be any better school than here; here you'll be a scholar, just a penny。
But then, even the late british — the americans — began to drink revolutionary drinks — coffee, which caused the headache of the english singer of democracy。
In the eighteenth century, in boston, the united states, in protest against the british government's tea tax laws, americans, led by tea-party leaders, preferred to give up tea instead of taxing the colonizers. So, the coffee comes closer, the coffee is “crowding out the tea” and won the throne on the american breakfast table. And what's more admirable, it's not new yorkers' breakfast, it's the city council in the cafe。
The american war for independence, which began with tea and ended with coffee, was accompanied by two beverages, a wake-up call to the brain, a wake-up call not only for the european enlightenment, but also for the new continent's declaration of independence。
Coffee has revolutionary résumés
The progress of coffee is encouraging, not only in the united kingdom and the united states, but also in france. At that time, in france, both the centre of the european enlightenment movement and the engine of the “china hot” were involved in coffee and accepted the catalyzing of the “sun king”。
The coffee came to france via turkey and went through two revolutions。
A “china hot”-led table revolution, initiated by king lui xiv of the sun, which was masked by “china hot” in order to reduce court spending after being overly luxurious, took the initiative to remove the silverware from the table and replace it with a mimic chinese china, thereby calling upon all the french nobles to do so, and finally to hold europe in the face。
There is no greater livelihood than food, which is safe and heavy on utensils. In the middle ages of europe, plagues are still widespread and well known, the reason for which is linked to the utensils。
Silver dishes, which are expensive and difficult to popularize, are restricted to the use of nobles, while pottery and woodware, because of their roughness, daily use by the people, inevitably hide the disease and spread it to the epidemic, which is “challenging” that plagues the evolution of european meals。
Until the 17th century, when the turkish messenger gave coffee to the european people, louis xiv was able to protect the europeans by popularizing chinese china with his table revolution, and was sent to the table of the sun king, in conjunction with chinese china。
The first product they combine is a coffee cup, right
Coffee comes from arabia, and china coffee cups follow from arabia, but the one that appears at louis xiv table is made not by arabs but by the french themselves。
As early as 1650, france had burned its varnish, although its imitations were soft because of the non-use of the high ground, without preventing it from reaching the table。
In combination with chinese china, coffee is taking advantage in france of the “china hot” and the fragrance of spiritual inflammation in the luxurious and fine way of cocoa。
At a time when louis xiv's table revolution, in addition to promoting luxury in order to broaden the fiscal base, has been given greater consideration by developing france's china industry through a table revolution that will increase national income and fundamentally improve its fiscal position。
Why? At that time, when the ceramic industry was in europe, known as the luxury industry, it was possible to make a lot of money, and it was reported that the principality of saxony had exchanged 48 chinese china bottles for a team of cavalrymen and persian businessmen, who had chosen king august。
After all, he is the sun king, who is small, but bright enough to meet the chinese emperor kang hee and greet each other. He also sends a missionary, yin hiroshi, to cinderville for 10 years, mastered the whole system of ceramics and returned home。
Nevertheless, there was a shortage of highland land, which was later found near the southern french city of limoges. By the time of louis xv, the factors of production had been in place, from the table revolution to the industrial revolution, and the china and arabic coffee from china had been sold in europe by the french using a rococo style of art and style。
Thus, the french drink coffee, from louis xiv to louis xvi, and they finally drink another revolution, from the enlightenment to the french revolution。
Although the loda east cafe was forced to close, history will not end。
Someone's got time, history, what's wrong with coffee? The whole paris is a café. When people think, they get the most radical drinks. At every corner of the street, there is a hot wind of thought and coffee, and there is no need to go through god's trials, a deep and sober mind, for all to have, to dress a city of parisians themselves into a capital of art, fashion and revolution。
With regard to the french tone, the revolution is fashionable, like the arab goat who miseapplied the fruit of his coffee and suddenly lost his authority and dignity, but reaped the energy of the lamb. Elegance goes on, grinding the inspiration for the new art principles in the café, singing, painting, dating and writing poetry to heal the legacy of intermittent madness。
The dawn of ideas is full of ideals, and in the twilight years it is held hostage to ideas that are often tarnished by a lack of mastery, traditional answers, either too deep or out of step, the world is increasingly divided, humans’ past cognitive structures are becoming increasingly overstretched, confusion and anxiety are bound to drive people back to the café like the waves on the beach, and aesthetics and art fairs teach us how to reach consensus。
The coffee is born anti-bone, fratricidal, insatiable, and resonates with the time to reflect on “the origins of human inequality” and synthesizes a “social contract theory”. In the era of the great revolution, a french magazine had declared that “the famous sharon represents privilege and the cafe is equal”, that art and equality had become the label of french coffee, and that the image of women as artists and equals had begun to refresh the character of the café。
