“中國傳統(tǒng)制茶技藝及其相關(guān)習(xí)俗”申遺成功！

The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a s hared cultural treasure of mankind. China's traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible（無形的） cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge， skills， and practices concerning the management of tea plantations， picking of tea leaves， manual processing， drinking， and sharing of tea. Since ancient times， Chinese people have been planting， picking， making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea： green， yellow， dark， white， oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas， such as flower-scented teas， there are over 2，000 tea products in China.

Tea-related customs are not only found across the country， but also influenced the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people's daily life， as steeped（浸泡） or boiled tea is served in families， workplaces， tea houses， restaurants and temples， etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbours through tea-related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups， providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.

In China， 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational（職業(yè)的） colleges and 80 universities in China that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture， resulting in over 3，000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year， according to the ministry.

China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list， continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.
