Survey

喝茶習慣(tea-drinking routine ):

According to the data collected from the respondents, 60% of them drink tea sometimes, and 35% of them drink tea really often, that is 90% out of total. From this data, we can notice that tea drinking is in the Taiwan culture, almost everyone drinks tea. Though there are still a lot of tea drinkers, the amount of people who drink tea very often is declining, which means that the culture of drinking tea won’t be as popular as before. In conclusion, though tea drinking is still popular in Taiwan, as the generations go on, more and more people won’t drink tea often, and that will lead to the decline of tea culture. We should keep promoting drinking tea, and let tea culture be spread.

According to the pie chart, about half of the respondents answered this question correctly. The correct answer is the Tang Dynasty. The other misidentified answer is the Song Dynasty. This is because the Song Dynasty is right after the end of the Tang Dynasty, so people have often mistaken these two Dynasties.

 

According to the pie chart shown above, about 59% of respondents answered this question correctly. The correct answer comes from the Tea Classic. But about 40% of the respondents did not know the answer, which also shows that people's basic understanding of tea culture is not widely known.

 

According to the bar chart, the sentence” Tea is a drink, originated from the Shennong family, and smelled by Lu Zhougong.” is the most known one. We interpret that it is because people have heard of or learned the name ”Shennong” before. Most people know that Shennong is called a”Divine farmer”, so people may relate the name to this question.

 

《茶錄》("Tea Record"):

According to the pie chart, we can see that the majority of our respondents have not heard of the “Tea Record”. Only 7.4% of the respondents have heard of the Tea Record, meaning that people don’t really know about our Chinese tea culture.
