Spouts of Fury: When Tea and Kung Fu Collide
Vložit

- Ya'an, China, is home to some of the country's best tea. It's also home to the amazing long spout tea performers. This performance art, which dates back to 220 AD, mixes Kung Fu and the long spout metal teapot. Liu Xumin is a tea performer who has spent years mastering this ancient art form. His hope, he says, is to "achieve the integration of tea pot and human, of heaven and human, and of tea and human."
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Omg Uncle Iroh from Avatar the last airbender show! I miss him and his quotes
😂😂😂😂 this comment is gold❤️😂👍
"the integration of tea pot and human" - Like some sort of chaiborg?
The fact that no one has yet responded to your amazing pun is baffling to me. You could even say it's beauTEAful!
Or perhaps, it's the mastery of Tea-Chai?
The Hamster Alliance chaiborg?😂 omg previously funny lol
Ha! Nice one.
The Hamster Alliance - your comment is fantastic.
I'm too a tea master I put the tea bag in my cup
How do you get the pubic hair out?
TheSilentGamer
Ha.....ha....
My mother’s family generation can be considered a tea master because that whole generation worked with tea
It's interesting that three countries in east asia have different names for 'tea ceremony'. In Japan, it's called 茶道(sado or chado), in Korea, 茶禮(darye), and 茶艺(chayi) in China. The letter 茶 means tea, but the each word coming after gives different meaning, where 道 means way or path, 禮 means etiquette or courtesy, and finally 艺 for skill or art. As seen in the video, Chinese regard their tea ceremony as art.
In India, it's called Chai
I'm a little tea pot short and stout this is my handle and this is my long ass sword stout
trip over me and poke your eye out
He was afraid of his father being killed and he gave them tea pouring spears?!
THE GOOD CONTENT He probably meant "assassinated" as being poisoned, i.e. in a not-so obvious manner.
this is like super hardcore level 90000 flair bartending....with tea
I do flair bartending myself and now I really want to learn this 😂
The statisfaction of not needing to read the subtitles
Me too >..< 哈哈
Im jealous, despite being chinese I still struggle with understanding accents -.-
四川话还是能部分听懂的
Wow this is it my last video I've watched every other one
The most extra thing i have seen in all my life.
Gorgeous shots that make me want to go back to China so bad!
Ah snap! That's very unique and beautiful
Pretty soon people gonna get inspired & start doing other things with it. Such as creating Kung Fu Coffee etc.!
This gave me a whole new perspective on drinking tea Loving it!

Stephen Jin Lmao!
_To be the Tea, you must become the Tea_
What a wonderful and exotic art! Amazing what people can do.
Dynasty Warriors.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to twirl a long tea pot"
now ive seen it all
Tuyệt vời, đỉnh cao quá
The Turkish ice cream men realized that they have competition 😅
Nice video
Wtf ? The tea pot is the weapon!!!!
if my dad asked me to pour him tea and i'm doing it this way, he will be crazily mad XD hahaha
That is great. I have been playing with my long spout as if it is a part of my body too, since I was a young boy
kek xd
I want my tea poured like this
I know somebody that cant use an electrik tea pot properly..
And here a man duing acrobatic triks whet tea pot 👍
Anyone here because of the GISH hunt?
I know that they are Chinese, but some kind of weeb is waking up inside of me XD
Being fascinated by Chinese tricks and culture doesn't make you a 'weeb' it makes you human, its good to be interested in things we don't know about :)
just don't do weeb stuff, that stuff is weird..
Dip Aww thank you sir, tbh I dont even like anime but i really respect and love chinese and japanese culture ^-^
Hondo Dude Living with culture is an amazing way to live.Some people have it some dont.There are some who bash culture or have racism.There are others like you who are interested in Chinese and Japanese culture or other cultures, which is a good thing! don't call yourself a weeb for that
Birty Catapilla thanks.....
kung fu tea (the tapioca place )any body ?
for others wondering, 長嘴壺茶藝 is the Chinese name
What in the world were they using before that is was safer to issue a tea server 3 foot long cudgels with at least 7 pounds of weight on one end.
Great for social distancing
Anyone know the name of the violin piece at 0:30? - with the ricochet
Dynasty Warriors squad where u at????
It's said that has a kick to it,
but I prefer Irish coffee.
It packs a bigger punch.
That's really impressive and I hope he finds disciples but pouring water like that directly over green tea especially if you brew it gongfu style is gonna make it hella bitter
Great tea pot for Social distancing
the music in the background at the beginning doesnt really suit it
0:52
fucking cool
Your move Britain.
... and i thought Indian Tarik pulled tea was interesting.
Teh Tarik comes from Chai Masala. when they arrived at Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, they call it Teh Tarik which means "pulled tea" in Malay
That story is definitely not true this tea pot itself can be used as a weapon
Imagining "missing"and hitting the eye of the drinker.
wtf did i just watch? 😂
like
Squad
8 hour a day . I just 1 hour
Lmao
i had no idea since i hit puberty i was practicing long pour tea with my dong
So. Gish, huh?
Well I guess I'm the second comment, 3rd like, and 348th view. Cool.
The origin history is dumb. Clearly the assassin could use the long spout to stab the emperor
Most Chinese history is based on bullshit of some sort anyway. Lmao
I do think that most of it is crookery ...including most of the so called "martial arts" from china . After all, China and other asian countries were a bit like Africa, with an average level of education extremely low as most people were peasants. So they were exploited by con mans claiming extraordinary capacities. Just like it still happens in India with the so called "yoga masters" levitating etc.
your ignorance is quite funny, do some homework about history maybe?
The language is funny
Chinese things like always look good but you all know what they turn out to be 🤣🤣
He does not sounds chinese at all
WongGaming c You know how there's different English dialects? China has that too tho much more. This is a Sichuan dialect
Kiboolt Oh thats cool! I usually hear the same dialect tones in chinese and this is the first time I heard a "Sichuan dialect"
WongGaming c There is 3 Chinese languages. Mandarin, Cantonese and hokkian. All of them are difficult to learn.
BeScaredOfDarkness Well, there is over 100 Chinese languages. But there is 3 main chinese language Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkian. Most of the languages are dying out, so yeah...
BeScaredOfDarkness just saying... Its not different languages. More like very strong accents. A mandarin speaker can understand a cantonese speaker vaguely. In china, they aren't different languages, just different accents. And the smaller 'languages' dieing is just exposure to more people with a certain dialect, and changing their own.
Kinda useless
