Tea Culture and Taoist Culture in Yibin

Tea culture absorbs the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism emphasizes "Zen tea blindly", tea is used to help Zen and tea is used to worship Buddha. While appreciating the bitterness and quietness from tea, Buddhism and Zen are also injected into the tea ceremony, which is beneficial for tea people to regard the tea ceremony as a way of self-cultivation, so as to achieve the purpose of clearing the heart and seeing the nature. Taoist theory injects the philosophical thought of "harmony between man and nature" into the tea ceremony of tea people and establishes the soul of tea ceremony. At the same time, it also provides the aesthetic concept of advocating nature, simplicity and truth and the idea of rebirth, attaching importance to life and keeping in good health.

Tea ceremony emphasizes "Taoism is natural" and includes three levels: material, behavior and spirit.

Materially, China Tea Ceremony holds that "tea is the best wood in the south". It is a "precious wood bud" given by nature. Planting, picking and making tea must conform to the laws of nature in order to produce good tea.

In terms of behavior, China Tea Ceremony pays attention to the natural flavor, a simple flavor, which flows in the East, is as quiet as a rock, smiles like spring flowers, says it is like a mountain spring, gestures and smiles should all come from nature, not artificial.

Spiritually, Taoism is natural, returning to nature, which is manifested in completely liberating one's sexual experience, making one's mind quiet, indifferent, lonely and inaction, making one's mind filled with tea fragrance, as if it were integrated with the universe and sublimated to the realm of "realizing oneself".
