What is the spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony? Zhejiang Agricultural University tea expert Professor Zhuang Lianfang proposed that China's tea should be "clean, beautiful, and, respect," and explain: clean and thrifty virtue, beauty and true happiness, and honesty in the world, respect and love for people. He clearly advocated that "the development of tea virtues, the proper use of tea art, for the tea cultivation way".

Cheng Qikun, director of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Tea Research Institute and researcher Yao Guokun advocate Chinese tea morality can be used to "reason, respect, clear, and rong" four words to express. Rational - the rationale, tea reasoning, rational and gas meaning. To - respect, guests to honor the tea, tea to show the meaning of etiquette. Qing - Qing, clean and pure, clean heart and fitness meaning. Rong - Rong, the meaning of peace and harmony, harmony and friendship.

Taiwan's Mr. Fan Zengping in 1985, China's "tea art of the fundamental spirit, is in and, frugal, quiet, clean." Taiwan's national master Professor Lin Jingnan summarized the spirit of the tea ceremony as "beauty, health, sex, and ethics", that is, "beauty, health, nourishment, and ethics", called the "Tea Ceremony of the four meanings". In addition, Mr. Zhou Yu of Taiwan has also proposed the four words "Zheng, Jing, Qing and Yuan" as the representative of the spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony. According to Prof. Chen Xiangbai's research, he believes that the core of the spirit of the Chinese Tea Ceremony is "harmony". "Harmony" means the harmony of heaven, earth and man. It means the organic unity and harmony of all things in the universe, and therefore produce the realization of the beauty of harmony after the unity of man and heaven ...... Various claims vary. However, we can find that: although the expression of each family is not the same, but its main spirit is still close, especially clear, quiet, and beauty is in line with the spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony and the characteristics of the tea ceremony, and the Japanese tea ceremony and the basic spirit of the Korean tea ceremony is also common. This is because the development of Chinese, Japanese and Korean tea ceremony is the root of the development of the traditional Chinese cultural essence of the same lineage.
