The origin of tea ceremony

Tea ceremony originated in China. At least before or during the Tang Dynasty, people in China first regarded tea as a way to cultivate one's morality. In the "Feng Ji" in the Tang Dynasty, there is such a record: "The tea ceremony is so prosperous that all princes and ministers drink it." This is the earliest record of tea ceremony in existing literature. It can be seen that the earliest and most perfect tea ceremony technology is the fried tea ceremony initiated by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Wen vividly described the elegant atmosphere of tea banquet and the wonderful charm of tea tasting in the preface to the tea banquet on March 3. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people were very particular about the environment, etiquette and operation of drinking tea. With some established rules and ceremonies, tea banquets are divided into palace tea banquets, temple tea banquets and literati tea banquets.

It was not until Toyotomi Hideyoshi's time (A.D. 1536 ~ 1598, which was equivalent to the middle and late Ming Dynasty in China) that Reifu Morino became a monk of Japanese tea ceremony, and he held high the banner of "tea ceremony" and summed up four principles of tea ceremony according to the Book of Songs: "harmony, respect, purity and silence". Obviously, this basic theory is influenced by the essence of China Tea Ceremony.
