Abstract
This study aims to investigate the cultural dimensions reflected in Chinese idioms containing the word “Tea”, adopting the theoretical framework of cultural linguistics. The analysis reveals three major dimensions: 1) material culture, in which tea is represented as a valued resource and an integral part of daily life; 2) social culture, which highlights its role in shaping interpersonal relationships and rituals, particularly wedding ceremonies; and 3) spiritual culture, which embodies ideals of simplicity, modesty, inner peace, and harmony with nature. Overall, the findings demonstrate that in Chinese society, tea is not merely a beverage, but a fundamental element deeply rooted in daily life and cultures.
