What are the six Japanese arts?

Shu Dao, Doug, Lian, Nengli Dao, Hua Dao and Tea Ceremony, but these six arts were all introduced from China in ancient Japan.

In ancient Japan, all kinds of arts and artistic abilities were introduced from China. In the long-term evolution, these arts and artistic abilities have been influenced by local customs and habits, and become the unique arts and artistic abilities of the Japanese, which are called "Tao". Japanese arts and crafts include painting, incense, music, pottery, nonsense, kabuki, harmony and so on. The truly representative ones are Shu Dao, Doug, Lian Ge Dao, Nengli Dao, Huadao Dao and Tea Ceremony. The so-called "six arts" refers to these six arts.

Tea ceremony: pay attention to elegant etiquette, and use carefully selected tools, with tea and dessert. Tea ceremony has gone beyond the category of tea tasting, and the Japanese regard it as a way to cultivate sentiment. Japanese tea ceremony originated in China, but now if you want to see the beauty of China tea ceremony, I'm afraid you have to go to Japan.

Huadao: With the introduction of Buddhism from China to Japan, rituals and decorative arts related to Buddhism were also introduced to Japan. Putting natural flowers and plants in utensils for decoration is an innate hobby of the Japanese. "Huadao" is also called "Huadao", and "Hua" is the abbreviation of "Lotus". The ancients offered artificial lotus flowers in front of the Buddha, which was called "offering to China", and the "flower path" evolved from "offering to China".

Shu Dao: In ancient Japan, calligraphy was called "Ru Mu Dao" or "Bi Dao". It was not until the Edo period (17th century) that the word "Shu Dao" appeared. In Japan, the popularity of writing Chinese characters with a brush should be after the introduction of Buddhism. Monks and Buddhists imitated China and copied scriptures with a brush. China's calligraphy began in Japan. The Book of Crane Jingyi copied by Shoto Kutaishi is a masterpiece influenced by the calligraphy style of China in the Six Dynasties.
