Tea Ceremony
Tea ceremony is a kind of tea drinking art that expresses certain etiquette, character, artistic conception, aesthetic views and spiritual thoughts through tea tasting activities.
The tea ceremony originated in China and was later developed and passed down in Japan. The tea ceremony emphasizes not only the process of making tea and tasting tea, but also a kind of spiritual cultivation and spiritual pursuit.
In the tea ceremony, there are strict requirements and particulars on the selection of tea utensils, the quality of tea leaves, the temperature of the water used to make tea, the time, and the technique. From preparing the tea set, cleaning the tea set, to placing the tea leaves, pouring water into the brew, to smelling the fragrance and tasting it, every step is full of rituals.
The tea ceremony focuses on the harmony and unity between man and nature, and you can feel the changes of the four seasons and the rhythm of nature through tea tasting. In a tranquil atmosphere, participants let go of impetuousness and worries and pursue inner peace and tranquility.
The tea ceremony is also a social activity, and by participating in the tea ceremony together, people can increase their understanding and communication with each other and cultivate good interpersonal relationships.
