Drinking tea, this is a very common and simple thing, both dignitaries and people know how to drink tea: as long as add tea into cups with hot water, that’s it. However, speaking of the teaism, that’s a big issue. Most people will stay at a respectful distance from it for its cockamamie steps.
The tea ceremony, is the way of tea drinking. When the tie guan yin tea utensils, cooking method, teahouse layout, etiquette, the conversation topic and so on are a series of decorous and exquisite steps. They are all very strict rules, each step is rigid and finished without carelessness. I’m afraid it’s even more rigid than the dama. The dama is after all handing down from our own ancestors from generation to generation, but the tea ceremony is an imported good, is passed from an island country to the mainland of China. Teaism is proper drinking art of Japanese nation. It observes the “four rules and seven principles” to show the spirit of “harmony, respect, tranquility and silence”. It’s said that the tea ceremony has been an important way and method to promote harmony of families in the country.
As for the tea ceremony, Zhou Zuoren the famous writer has explained as this: “the meaning of tea ceremony, with ordinary words, can be called “snatch a little leisure from a busy life or taking enjoyment from pain”. That means enjoy the beauty and harmony even in the incomplete society, experience eternal right with instant, which is a representive art of Japanese “culture of symbolization”. Half a century has past, but his words are still meaningful now.
In today’s commercial society and market economy, we introduced the exotic tea ceremony and combined it with the dragon well tea culture in China to make more pure taste of tea. At the same time, the tea skills of each Chinese nationa had carried forward in the process of China’s reform and opening up and economy reinvigoration. Both the tea ceremony and the tea skill are important parts of the world’s tea culture. It provides a splendid reason and chance for people to “snatch a little leisure from a busy life or taking enjoyment from pain”, and developed into a lever to push the development of tour and regional economic growth.
