Maokong (\u8c93\u7a7a), located in Muzha (\u6728\u67f5), Taipei, is famous for tea. In the past, it was the largest tea-producing area in Taipei. Coupled with its geographical advantages, Maokong has a panoramic view of Taipei City. This area is home to many tea houses and tea farms.

Mr. Zhang is currently helping a friend to repair a teacup that the friend’s grandfather received when he graduated from elementary school decades ago. In that era, everyone who graduated got a souvenir glass with their name engraved on the back. However, his granddaughters had accidentally broken the cup when they were helping to clean the house. “It’s okay,” the grandfather had said, but as he threw the broken pieces away, he had murmured what a pity it was.

“The quality of tea depends on your own feelings and perspectives.” <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In this memorial hall, Zhang introduces tea, educating the guests on how to pick out different flavors by smelling, tasting, and appreciating tea. He explains, “drinking tea is not difficult. As long as you are quiet and concentrate on tasting, you can feel and experience it.” He believes tea should not be limited to certain social classes. Therefore, Curator Zhang is committed to promoting tea culture, popularizing it and making it affordable for everyone, including students, conveying the concept of tea as integral to a “healthy” life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/li><\/figure><\/li><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n“Tea is life,” the curator said. Tea has a strong bond with Chinese culture. \u201cIt is a profound part of the family and represents memories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTeapots in particular hold deep meaning for families. Zhang Weiyi self-learned a repair technique called Kintsukuroi ( \u91d1\u7e55\u3044, golden repair), using gold and lacquer to repair broken pottery. It is a sophisticated Japanese technique that is time consuming and expensive. However, he learned this technique when he was seeking to repair a damaged teapot of his father\u2019s\u2014the teapot that his mom used to make tea for his dad in every day. That teapot contained daily memories of his parents. Afterward, Curator Zhang began to help friends to repair their broken tea sets. Every tea set has a story behind it. Mr. Zhang is currently helping a friend to repair a teacup that the friend’s grandfather received when he graduated from elementary school decades ago. In that era, everyone who graduated got a souvenir glass with their name engraved on the back. However, his granddaughters had accidentally broken the cup when they were helping to clean the house. “It’s okay,” the grandfather had said, but as he threw the broken pieces away, he had murmured what a pity it was. Therefore, one of his granddaughters secretly picked out the pieces from the trashcan and brought them to Mr. Zhang, hoping to save this treasured memory for her grandfather.
