This time the master took his post-00s apprentices into the community to show off his skills. There were very few young people who learned this skill 10 years ago.
On the afternoon of June 7, the "Tengyi Space" in the Zhijiang West Road Neighborhood Center in Jing'an District was bustling with activity. Fan Shenghua, the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage green tea making skills, demonstrated the green tea finishing technique on the spot, with his palms pressed against the green leaves. As he flipped around in the 200-degree-Celsius pot, he was surrounded by not only the community residents who came smelling the aroma of tea, but also his youngest apprentice, Feng Chenyu, who was born in the 2000s.

Not long ago, District People's Congress representative Tendik went to the community to listen to public opinions. During the chat, residents mentioned that they like to drink tea but are afraid of buying tea in "deep water". They hope to learn about tea culture and how to choose tea based on quality during community activities. For this intangible cultural heritage event, he specially invited the inheritor to move the wok to the site, listen to the master's explanation, and residents can try it themselves.

This national-level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage also brought along his post-2000 disciples. This process required four times of frying to allow the tea leaves to take shape and remove moisture. After this operation, the color difference between Xiao Feng’s hands was obvious. His father gave him this "task" on the eve of his third year of junior high school graduation, with the intention of allowing his son to "endure hardship" and exercise his mind. The highest state of tea-making is to have no distractions, and he hopes to apply this state of mind to the high school entrance examination.

The color difference between Xiao Feng's hands is obvious. During the busy tea season, the entire hand is soaked, and the tenderer the hand, the more intense the blistering will occur.

Compared with the handful of young people who learned to fry tea 10 years ago, Fan Shenghua has now accepted two apprentices born after 2000. Xiao Feng remembers the words of his master: It does not mean that you can make good tea by enduring hardship. It requires talent, understanding and accumulation. .

In addition to fried tea, there are various intangible cultural heritage experience projects on site. Handicraft experience activities such as handmade cake making, grass weaving, colorful Chinese knots, Dragon Boat Festival sachets, and fan drawing attracted many community residents to actively participate in the hands-on production process and feel the charm of traditional handicrafts.
Grass language weaving shows vivid life to everyone.
