Drinking morning tea can date back to Qing dynasty. ?广东人饮早茶时,会常看到有人在斟茶时,接受斟茶的人会用两个手指轻轻的叩点着桌面,表示答谢,其实这是行叩茶礼,而且这种礼仪还大有来头。据传, 清朝乾隆皇帝和大清第一才子、清朝大学士纪晓岚微服巡游江南时,来到一家茶楼,作为皇帝的乾隆一时高兴,竞给臣子纪晓岚斟起茶来,这在封建时代是不得了的事情,也是作为臣子莫大的恩典,在礼仪上纪晓岚应该是行三跪九拜,三呼万岁之大礼,但他们是微服巡游,绝对不能暴露皇帝身份,但又不能失此大礼,纪晓岚急中生智,屈起两指如屈膝状轻点桌面代表三跪,然后合上拳头轻叩桌面代表叩头九拜,这样既可不暴露皇帝的身份,又不失礼仪。后来传到民间, 因无须如此大礼,遂改为两个指头轻叩桌面,以示谢意,而且一直流传至今。 Dringking morning tea can date back to Qing dynasty.
