Differences between China Tea Ceremony and Japanese Tea Ceremony

China tea ceremony and Japanese tea ceremony have the following differences:

The first is the difference between "tea". Japanese tea ceremony uses green tea powder (called "matcha" in Japanese); There are many kinds of teas used for tea ceremony in China (black tea, green tea, Pu 'er tea, scented tea, etc.). ).

Then there is the difference between the "venue" of Chinese and Japanese tea ceremony. The place of Japanese tea ceremony is in Japanese-style buildings and rooms (called "Harmony Room" in Japanese), and the room is the grass where people sit on the floor (called "tatami" in Japanese); China Tea Ceremony is in the teahouse with Chinese furniture, with tables, chairs and coffee tables. People sit in chairs to make tea and taste tea.

The next step is the difference of "tea set" between Chinese and Japanese tea ceremony. Refer to the picture for details.

The "ceremony" of Chinese and Japanese tea ceremony is different. This explanation is too long. There are images on the Internet.

Finally, the "tea tasting atmosphere" is different. Japanese tea ceremony is more solemn and Zen. China's tea ceremony can better reflect "China's long history and elegant literati atmosphere", which is more "carefree" and "elegant" than Japanese tea ceremony.
