What are we talking about here? Art? , refers to the art of making tea, making tea and tasting tea; What are we talking about here? Tao? , refers to the spirit carried out in the process of artistic tea making. ? Tea art also has a broad sense and a narrow sense: Tea art in a broad sense is a knowledge that studies the methods of tea production, manufacturing, management and drinking, and discusses the principles and principles of tea in order to achieve comprehensive material and spiritual satisfaction.

Tea art in a narrow sense is how to make a pot of tea and enjoy a cup of tea. ?

We favour a narrow definition. Generally speaking, tea art is the art of making and tasting tea.

Among them, the skill of making tea is the main body, because tea can only be tasted after it is brewed.

Moreover, making tea is not just a technical problem. As Mr. Wen Ding said, when technology is perfect, it becomes an art.

Therefore, we should not only make a pot of tea scientifically, but also make a pot of tea artistically.

In other words, we should not only master the technical problems such as tea identification, heat, water temperature, brewing time and action specification. , but also pay attention to the artistic beauty of the brewer in the whole operation process. Appreciating the brewing skills of tea art should give people a kind of beautiful enjoyment, including the beauty of scenery, water, utensils, tea and art? The beauty of the art of making tea lies in the beauty of form and soul.

Tea brewing process? This is also a promotion to the development of the performing arts. ?

If the teahouse employees know this, they will not equate themselves with ordinary waiters, but consciously engage in an artistic activity full of poetry and painting, which is a very meaningful social work.

tea ceremony

?

Professor Wang Ling in the second part of his Tea Culture in China? Chinese tea art and the spirit of tea ceremony? Point out in:? Tea art and tea ceremony spirit are the core of China tea culture.

What are we talking about here? Art? , refers to the art of making tea, making tea and tasting tea; What are we talking about here? Tao? , refers to the spirit implemented in the process of artistic tea making.

Tao without art is an empty theory; Art has no way, and festivals have no essence and no spirit.

? Tea art, named but tangible, is the external expression of tea culture; Tea ceremony is spirit, truth, law, origin and essence. It is often invisible and intangible, but you can fully understand it through your heart.

The combination of tea art and tea ceremony is the result of a high degree of unity of matter and spirit. ? Mr. Cai also thinks: if you want to emphasize the tangible action part, use? Tea art? Emphasize the ideological and aesthetic realm caused by tea, then use it? Tea ceremony? . ? Guidance? Tea art? What is the idea? Tea ceremony? . ? (Cai: Collection of Modern Tea Thoughts, page 4 10, page 408, published by Taiwan Province Yuchuan Publishing House) We believe that these words of Professor Wang Ling and Mr. Cai have clearly explained the difference and connection between tea ceremony and tea art.

Tea is the spiritual realm and moral fashion pursued and embodied in the process of managing tea art, which is often combined with the philosophy of life and becomes the code of conduct for tea people.

Therefore, Professor Chen believes that China Tea Ceremony is a way to guide individuals to complete moral cultivation through the process of tea affairs, so as to realize the harmony and happiness of all mankind. ? However, it is too strict and empty to ask tea people at such a high level, and it is not easy for ordinary people to master it. A large number of tea artists and experts have summarized it with concise philosophical language, and put forward many basic spirits of tea ceremony, which is easy for all tea people to understand and operate.

These basic spirits are the moral requirements of drinking tea, also known as cha de.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu pointed out in the Book of Tea. One source:? Tea is for use, with a cool taste, and is most suitable for people who drink frugally? .

In other words, people who drink tea should pay attention to the virtue of thrift. Lu Yu put forward moral requirements for tea drinkers, and drinking tea is no longer simply to satisfy physiological needs and quench thirst.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Liu pointed out in "Ten Virtues of Tea":? Richard Li Ren? ,? Tribute tea? ,? Kaya heart with tea? ,? Is tea feasible? .

It can be seen that there was a way of drinking tea as early as the Tang Dynasty.

Liu's cha de can be regarded as a poem for the poet Jiao Ran in Tea Song. "Did you make a monarch? After three glasses of wine, you will understand? And then what? Who knows the truth about tea ceremony? In the sentence? Tao? And then what? Tea ceremony? Interpretation and enrichment.

Therefore, the tea ceremony should be traced back to Jiao Ran and Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is not as clear and specific as the Japanese tea ceremony in later generations.
