Acrobatic pouring

The art of pouring tea water from a pot with a long tubular spout ( Chinese  長 嘴 壺 茶藝  /  长 嘴 壶 茶艺 , Pinyin chángzuǐhú cháyì ) is an art practiced mainly by specially trained staff in Chinese teahouses - especially in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan . Professional acrobatics competitions in a discipline of this name have recently been held.

Here, tea water is poured into drinking vessels in a sometimes acrobatic manner from a bronze jug, which is similar to a flower watering jug (with a lid) and has a tubular spout up to 1.5 m in length. The distance is up to over one meter. The pouring takes place in many positions, e.g. B. from behind (also diagonally) over the shoulder, over the head, etc. The trick is that the water jet is already fast enough at the beginning of the pouring process and is skillfully interrupted at the end by quickly lowering the jug so that no liquid goes wrong . The brothers Liao Dasong ( 廖大松 ) and Liao Xiaosong ( 廖小松 ) from Chengdu , who mastered eighteen different types of pouring, were recently determined to be masters in this discipline in Hangzhou .

In the well-known feature song for the 100-day countdown of the 2008 Summer Olympics ( Beijing huanying ni ) a person can be seen pouring tea water from such a jug over his shoulder into a cup with eight treasures tea , like in Beijing, for example, it is drunk with the Peking duck dish .
