Researches of the author show that tea drinking has certain social background in China; the spread of tea drinking knowledge may play an important part in the spreading of tea culture. At present, most people concerned more about the relationship of tea and the personal health and temperament, few of them pay attention to the social function of tea-thinking, i.e. as a social label and a tie of social interaction. a978-3-86573-710-6
