China is the birthplace of tea, the hometown of tea. Tea is native to China, and wild tea trees are found in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. The Chinese were the first to discover and utilize tea, which can probably be traced back to the primitive society, about five thousand years ago. Ancient books and folklore, etc., there is the dragon tasted all kinds of herbs, tea detoxification said.

Tea culture, to put it bluntly, more is how to grow good tea how to make tea better, that's all. However, in Japan, tea has really risen to a cultural level, the pursuit of a spirit.

In general, the Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies both take tea to clear the mind, calm the spirit, nourish the spirit, help wisdom and other healthy and upward essence. There is a deep connection between the two. And when it comes to the difference, there are the following:

1. Chinese tea culture to Confucianism as the core, the integration of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism as a whole, the three complement each other, and never contradict each other, so that China's tea culture is very rich in content, no matter from which level, which aspects can make a grand speech. The Japanese tea ceremony, on the other hand, mainly reflects Chinese Zen thought, and of course, it is also integrated into the spirit and ideology of Japanese nationals. The Chinese? Tea is a way to show respect and benevolence. The Chinese use tea as a sign of respect and benevolence. Tea as a sign of respect and "tea as a sign of respect", and "tea as a sign of honor".

It exhorts people to live in peace ****, mutual respect and love, honesty and simplicity, and cultivate one's character.

2. Japanese tea ceremony program rigorous, emphasizing simplicity, the beauty of silence; Chinese tea culture is more revered natural, and the beauty of peace. Japanese tea ceremony is mainly derived from the Zen Buddhism, advocating that the silence of the heart to seek the beauty of the quiet as one, but its? Four rules? The four rules, the seven rules Seven rules? Seems to be too much formality, it is difficult for people to feel free and natural. Chinese tea culture is initially by drinking tea for spiritual activities, and Taoism's pursuit of quietness and purity of the immortal world has a lot of origins, it emphasizes the artistic level of nature and aesthetic spirit, it is easy to let a person feel the harmony and unity. However, the Chinese tea ceremony has no rituals to follow, and it is often a Taoist ritual, which affects the role of the essence of tea culture and standardized dissemination. Therefore, when it comes to the tea ceremony, often still the first Japan.

3. Chinese tea culture includes a wide range of social levels; Japanese tea culture does not yet have the content of the culture of all. Chinese tea culture since the Song Dynasty has been deep into the civic class, its most prominent representative of the size of towns and cities widely emerging teahouse, teahouse, tea pavilion, tea room. On such occasions, scholars, peasants, industrialists and businessmen all take tea as a means of friendship and interpersonal communication, thus making? Tea? Become the content of life itself, and various folk areas are extremely rich? Tea folklore. The Japanese honor the tea ceremony, and there are many famous families. Tea ceremony in the public is also very influential, but its social, popular has not yet reached a wide range of in-depth level, that is to say, in contrast, China's tea ceremony is more popular, Japan's tea ceremony is more typical.
