Traditional cultural knowledge about tea ceremony

Tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese culture, also known as "tea art" and "tea banquet", which is a dignified and elegant performance. The purpose of tea ceremony is to cultivate taste and aesthetic ability and promote social communication and empathy by preparing and tasting tea. The following are some traditional cultural knowledge about tea ceremony:

1. The origin of tea ceremony can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China, and then it was introduced to Japan through China. In Japan, tea ceremony has experienced the evolution and development in different historical periods and political and cultural environments.

2. Tea ceremony is a dedicated art form, which requires participants to carefully prepare and taste tea, place tea sets and decorations, and cook side dishes. Every detail needs careful attention and implementation.

Tea ceremony emphasizes the taste, fragrance and taste value of tea, not the external tea set. Therefore, it seems that in the eyes of some non-tea ceremony artists, tea sets will be carried forward to an excessive extent, or beyond the value of tea itself.

Tea ceremony also pays attention to etiquette and respect. Tea ceremony artists must understand the etiquette of various social occasions, but this etiquette is not only a form, but also reflects the feelings and relationships between people.

Tea ceremony also integrates many other art forms, such as painting, flower patterns, pottery, poetry and so on, which are also manifested in tea ceremony.

In a word, tea ceremony is one of the most popular and valued traditional cultures in Japan. It is regarded as a symbol of humanistic spirit and a window for people to know and understand Japanese culture.
