The beauty of tea ceremony combines a variety of artistic aesthetic values ??and must be felt and appreciated with the nose, tongue, body, eyes and ears.

In the gentle breeze and drizzle, the footsteps of the host entering and exiting the tea room, the fragrance of flowers and incense lingering in the nose, as well as the finely crafted food and simple and elegant tea sets, allowed the host and the guests to complete a ritual in just a few hours.

1. Japanese tea masters throughout the ages have practiced in Zen temples for several years. They received Dharma names from Zen temples and received guidance from Zen masters throughout their lives.

Japanese tea ceremony culture uses rich cultural forms to support the same spirit, which is the tea ceremony thought of "harmony, respect, purity, and silence".

"Harmony" in the tea ceremony represents harmony and joy. It is the spirit that governs the entire tea ceremony process.

Harmony focuses on form, while harmony focuses on inner emotions.

In the teahouse, a good atmosphere is reflected through "harmony".

In the process of tea ceremony, touch, taste, vision and hearing all have their own standards of "harmony".

Regardless of its appearance, a good tea bowl must have a good feel so that guests will not feel too cold, too heavy or too light when drinking tea. This experience is the "harmony" between people and things.

The aroma in the teahouse should not be too strong or pungent, but should permeate the room softly and diffusely. This is the "harmony" between people and the environment.

The position of the windows determines the light in the tea room. After being filtered by white and window paper, the light cast into the tea room should be soft and inviting for meditation. This is the "harmony" between light and tea.

When the wind blows through the old trees outside the tea room, the sound of rustling leaves and the gurgling of boiling water merge harmoniously together, which is an auditory "harmony".

The beauty of the harmonious environment and the beauty of the participants' personalities intersect, and the music of "harmony" is played in the teahouse, which is intoxicating.

The "harmony" in the Japanese tea ceremony requires everyone in the tea room to maintain appropriate behavior, thoughtful tea room arrangements, considerate care, harmony in speech, behavior and expression, such as a gentle breeze and a comfortable atmosphere.

Respect The "respect" in the tea ceremony also originates from Zen Buddhism. In the Japanese tea ceremony, the idea of ??"respect" that best embodies it should be the idea of ??"building a building" in the tea soup.

"One" refers to all the people participating in the tea ceremony, while "one establishment" means that all participants will be treated equally, people respect each other and enjoy a harmonious teahouse atmosphere.

The mutual respect and love between the guest and the host is revealed from the true heart, thus achieving a natural and irrational blend.

From the perspective of Zen Buddhism, all human thoughts and desires originate from this. If a person wants to become a Buddha, he needs to achieve a transcendent experience, that is, unconscious inner self-enlightenment. One of the prerequisites for this transcendence is "

Respectfully".

This kind of self-enlightenment shows that tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism are in the same line and are closely related to each other.

Qing "Qing" refers to cleanliness and neatness, which are elements of self-cultivation highly respected by the Japanese people.

In the Japanese tea ceremony, "Qing" refers more to the cleansing of the soul.

In the tea garden, which is called the open ground, tea drinkers should splash water at all times to clean the ground.

When welcoming distinguished guests, the trees and stones in the courtyard should be wiped clean.

The teahouse is even more demanding to be spotless, and even the charcoal used to boil water must be washed away from dust in advance.

Through these actions, we can achieve the goal of getting rid of the filth outside the body and making the heart pure.

Japanese tea ceremony has always been dedicated to suppressing or giving up those evil thoughts, making the tea garden a clean and pure world, allowing everyone who enters the tea garden to maintain the concept of purity, so that no trace of dirt can rise in the heart.

In this concept, there are indeed some requirements for tea ceremony to be separated from the real world, and the pure mood in the tea room is like becoming a Buddha.

Silence "Silentity" is the ultimate state pursued by the tea ceremony, which determines the meaning of the existence of the tea ceremony.

Conceptually, Japanese tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism are closely related, and "Sabi" in Sanskrit means "silence, peace, and stability."

In the Japanese tea ceremony, "silence" is close to "pure, solitary", which means that after the practitioner or tea drinker completes the denial of various affairs, he enters a world of nothingness, where there is no sound and no sound.

No color.

Tea people negated all inherent aesthetic values, abandoned the original ideological constraints, and a new form of artistic expression emerged at the historic moment.

The "silence" in the tea ceremony is to achieve the state of no thoughts and thoughts after eliminating delusions and worries in the heart. This is also the ultimate goal of the tea ceremony.

2. The artistic conception of tea is a process of pursuing a perfect mind. The Japanese tea ceremony requires that the tea ceremony should be quiet and quiet in order to seek a stable mood. The cultivation of tea ceremony requires tea drinkers to experience and acquire it themselves.

"Harmony, respect, purity, and silence" express the Zen understanding of the tea ceremony spirit. Harmony and respect are the feelings of the host and guest in the tea ceremony, and purity and silence are the feelings of the tea ceremony, tea garden and tea sets.
