Pu'er Tea
''Pu'er'' or ''pu-erh'' is a variety of fermented tea traditionally produced in Yunnan Province, China. Pu- erh tea is made from the leaves of the Yunnan tea plant ''Camellia sinensis var. assamica'', which is a specific variety of tea plant that is native to Yunnan Province. It differs from Yunnan tea (Dianhong) in that pu-erh tea goes through a complex fermentation process. In the context of traditional Chinese tea production terminology, fermentation refers to microbial fermentation (called 'wet piling'), and is typically applied after the tea leaves have been sufficiently dried and rolled. As the tea undergoes controlled microbial fermentation, it also continues to oxidize, which is also controlled, until the desired flavors are reached. This process produces tea known as ''hēichá'' (黑茶), literally "black tea", though the term is commonly translated to English as "dark tea" to distinguish it from the English-language "black tea" (紅茶 ''hóngchá'', lit. "red tea" in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pu'er City
Pu'er is a prefecture-level city in southern Yunnan Province, China. Pu'er City governs 9 counties, 1 district, 103 townships (towns), and a total population of 2.65 million. The urban administrative center of Pu'er is Simao District, which is also the former name of the prefecture-level city itself. A major downturn in the price of tea in 2007 caused severe economic distress in the area. The price of Pu'er has since recovered and Pu'er tea, a type of dark tea, still contributes much to the income of the area.

Puer (geomancy)
The 16 geomantic figures are primary symbols utilized in geomancy, an ancient divinatory practice. Each figure consists of four lines representing the classical elements and can be interpreted through various methods and questions. Originating from Middle Eastern traditions, geomancy was introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages, where it acquired astrological meanings and new interpretive layers. These figures exhibit a superficial resemblance to the ''ba gua'', the eight trigrams in the ''I Ching'', a Chinese classic text. Each figure carries distinct attributes and meanings. Figures are classified by qualities like stability or mobility, impartiality or partiality, and entering or exiting. These classifications provide nuances in interpretation. The figures are associated with elements, zodiac signs, planets, and body parts. They can be paired according to their qualities and properties. The figures' astrological correspondences introduced in the European tradition further enr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Puer Mingens
A puer mingēns (; : puerī mingentēs ) is a figure in a work of art depicted as a prepubescent boy in the act of urinating, either actual or simulated. The puer mingens could represent anything from whimsy and boyish innocence to erotic symbols of virility and masculine bravado. Etymology and word play The term ''puer mingens'' comes from the Latin ''puer'', meaning "boy", and from the Latin ''mingens''; "urinating", the present participle of the verb ''mingere'' which means "to urinate". In Latin, verbs for urinating like ''mingere'' were frequently employed in the sense of "to ejaculate".Adams, J. N. ''The Latin Sexual Vocabulary''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1982. This connotation was preserved in various descendants of Latin, including Italian with such words as ''pisciare''. On account of this, the urine emitted from the penis of the ''puer mingens'' can be interpreted symbolically as semen; and ''pueri mingentes'' are frequently found in works auguring fer ...

Puer Oblatus
In Christianity (specifically the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist traditions), an oblate is a person associated with a Benedictine monastery or convent who is specifically dedicated to God and service. Oblates are individuals, either laity or clergy, normally living in general society, who, while not professed monks or nuns, have individually joined themselves to a Benedictine monastic community associated with a certain Christian denomination, such as the Catholic Church or Lutheran Church. Individuals become oblates by undergoing an investiture in which they resolve to follow the Rule of Saint Benedict in their private lives. The Divine Office (canonical hours) is a focus of Benedictines and oblates strive to pray these individually or with others, including with monastics throughout the day in person, or live-streamed; this is normatively prayed seven times a day (cf. ). They additionally seek to daily read the Bible through the monastic method of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bating (leather)
Bating is a technical term used in the Tanning (leather), tanning industry to denote leather that has been treated with chicken, hen or pigeon manure, similar to ''puering'' (see wiktionary:puer, puer) where the leather has been treated with dog excrement, and which treatment, in both cases, was performed on the raw hide prior to tanning in order to render the skins, and the subsequent leather, soft and supple. Today, both practices are obsolete and have been replaced in the tanneries with other natural proteolytic enzymes. Leather processing Since early times, tanners have made use of either dog fæces, or hen and pigeon manure, in one of the early phases of leather treatment to produce a soft leather. A bath solution containing the animal extracts was made and the raw hide inserted and left there for a few days, which activated the bacteria and enzymes that reacted with the collagen in the animal skin to make the leather soft and supple. This step was followed by ''drenching'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
