Chen Yinke once said, "The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved for thousands of years, reaching its peak during the Zhao and Song dynasties.". Scholar Yang Zhishui said, "Flowers, fragrance, paintings, tea, and porcelain were not created by the Song people, but they were endowed with elegant qualities." In recent years, with the popularity of related film and television works, the aesthetics and elegance of the Song Dynasty have aroused strong interest among people.
"Searching for him thousands of times in the crowd, suddenly looking back, that person was there, with dim lights." Fang Xiaoyi used Song Ci as a carrier to showcase the elegant life of Song Dynasty people from four aspects: the beauty of festivals in Song Ci, the beauty of tea art in Song Ci, the depiction of clothing in Song Ci, and the aesthetic trend of combining poetry and painting. He drew a unique picture of Song Dynasty aesthetics, which also gave readers a deeper understanding of Song Ci.

When Fang Xiaoyi introduced Cha Bai Xi, some readers exclaimed, "Isn't this the ancient version of coffee flower pulling?" Of course, there is a clear difference between Cha Bai Xi and modern coffee flower pulling. Coffee flower is a pattern formed by adding milk to coffee to create two different colors. Tea variety shows only use clear water to create changeable patterns on the surface of tea soup. The skill requirements are extremely high. The texture of foam must be exquisite to achieve the effect of painting on foam. In terms of expressing the beauty of artistic conception, Cha Bai Xi and ink painting have similarities and differences, so some people also refer to it as "water painting". At the event, readers can also experience the unique charm of Song Dynasty tea art up close, and feel the artistic sentiment of Song Dynasty literati and scholars.
