The ideological background of Japanese tea ceremony art is Buddhism, and its ideological core is Zen. It is a new religious form with the religious content of Zen as the main body and with the aim of making people realize a complete understanding. In Japan, great tea men of all ages went to the Zen Temple to practice for several years, obtained the Dharma name from the Zen Temple, and were guided by the Zen master all their lives. However, after obtaining the dharma name, they did not stay in the Zen Temple, but returned to the teahouse to live the life of tea people. The life of tea people is similar to that of ordinary people and artists. Therefore, although tea people got Zen through Zen and had a legal relationship with Zen, the tea ceremony has its own independence and exists independently outside the Zen temple? Zen at home? .

The process of tea ceremony is mainly divided into changing clothes, watching tea court, first tea, tea food, neutralization, strong tea, late charcoal, thin tea and withdrawal, in which strong tea is the most important part, and the specific methods vary according to different tea ceremony schools.

As for the props of Japanese tea ceremony, they can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Tea props in a broad sense include reception utensils, tea mat utensils, hospital utensils and tea washing utensils; Tea props in a narrow sense only refer to cooling furnaces, tea bowls, teacups, teapots, teapots, teaspoons and teacups (tea bottles). Some people even call tea bowls tea props.

The meaning of Japanese tea ceremony culture Tea ceremony is the crystallization and representative of Japanese culture. It is also the normal state of Japanese life and the sustenance of Japanese soul. Today, the tea ceremony with a history of 500 years has ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity. Tea rooms and tea kiosks are all over Japan; Teahouses and tea parties have become a major project in various cultural activities; Various tea props have become symbols of Japanese beauty. Movies, TV dramas, art exhibitions and writings about tea ceremony culture abound; The population engaged in tea ceremony activities reached 500 nights.

Japan's economic miracle has caused people to explore its cultural background around the world. At the same time, Japan is trying to promote friendship with people all over the world. They also actively promote their own culture. The first thing the Japanese promoted was the tea ceremony. Tea ceremony is a shortcut for us to understand Japanese culture and Japanese people. However, the tea ceremony is indeed a cultural phenomenon that is difficult for foreigners to understand. People who have never touched the tea ceremony naturally don't understand. Even people who have visited the tea ceremony are confused and can't find the right words to explain it.

This paper attempts to summarize this into three reasons: inclusiveness, invisibility and limitations. Tea ceremony is rich in content. She is in a small teahouse, covering almost all the contents of oriental culture. In terms of ideology, it includes immortal thought, Taoism, Yin-Yang Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto and so on. In form, it includes architecture, courtyard, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, etiquette, flower arrangement, lacquer ware, pottery, bamboo ware, cooking, sewing and so on. Tea ceremony is called applied philosophy and artistic life. Are there any living dragons in the middle of the teahouse? Xiao dongyang? . Therefore, it is difficult for us to define it. Moreover, tea ceremony is a living art, and it is difficult for us to grasp its form. The art of tea ceremony was established through the tea incident, but once the tea incident ended, artistic creation disappeared.

Learning tea ceremony can't wait and think like appreciating a painting. We must capture the instantaneous phenomenon in the process of tea. But not only are there many gaps in an instant, but we are often fascinated by those tiny phenomena, and it is difficult to outline the whole picture of tea affairs. Moreover, tea ceremony is different from music, dance, painting and other common art forms, and performers and appreciators are inseparable. If you really appreciate the beauty of tea ceremony, you must attend it yourself. But it takes years of practice to be a good host, even as a guest. Tea ceremony practitioners attach importance to practice and oppose relying on books, which requires every tea ceremony researcher to be a practitioner of tea ceremony art, which makes it difficult for foreigners to understand tea ceremony.

Because the tea ceremony is different from other arts in self-appreciation, the tea ceremony itself has always lacked the self-confidence to call itself an art. For many years, people devoted to the practice of tea ceremony have emerged one after another, but as bystanders, people who calmly think and study the art of tea ceremony are rare. The definition and comprehensive exposition of tea ceremony is a new thing in recent years.
