"Things are Mysteries" focuses on breaking the boundary between things and me from the ideological point of view when drinking tea, and strives to communicate with actors to achieve the life realm of "thinking and environment, emotion and scenery" in which things and me are integrated. At this time, I am tea, tea is me, and man and nature are one. A drop of Wan Chuan is relatively limited, endless, all melted in understanding, and personal thoughts can certainly be "happy" at will.
