Taste the beauty of the Chinese tea ceremony of quiescence

by Jia Min tea

One of the most notable features of aesthetic culture of tea in our country is the beauty of the quiescence.

The beauty of quiescence in the Chinese tea ceremony, it is extremely rich characteristic of traditional aesthetic culture in China. The desolate beauty, also known as the quiet beauty, the beauty of silence in the words “Four rules in tea ceremony” in Japan, in contrast, both have essentially different. This is because the Japanese tea ceremony culture belongs to Zen culture, which is the nature of Buddhist culture. Therefore, on the Japanese tea ceremony, they do operate in the tea program, in the course of the aesthetic of the tea ceremony, one by one, every move, we need to express the Buddhist doctrines and canons.

This is just like a Japanese Zen master put it: the meaning of tea also means Zen, so give it Zen addition, there is no tea meaning; do not know the Buddhist sense, then, it does not know its flavor. This proves that the Japanese tea ceremony by its very nature, it is only a Zen mode. They pursue tea ceremony aesthetics, it is the Zen Buddhist sense of aesthetics supremacists, and always sincere pursuit to the beauty of dull and lonely full of Zen philosophy. So, in terms of the Japanese tea ceremony, they find it difficult to connect the beauty of the Chinese tea ceremony of quiescence. Imagine if all the space so that the heart is full of religious doctrine community, canons, needles inserted into, poured into the water. Such circumstances, how can feel the beauty of the tea ceremony of quiescence at all?  Of course, the Japanese tea ceremony, religious beliefs, this is understandable. Here to compare two different kinds of tea aesthetic culture, to illustrate the two countries due to different national conditions, and thus also differ from each other in a special tea ceremony aesthetic culture. Face it, are more conducive to cultural exchange between their tea, easy to seek common ground, learn from each other.

About Chinese tea ceremony aesthetic culture, said quiescence, the daily tea for aesthetic terms, not vague, carefully taste, tea helps in better access to life aesthetic perception. In fact quiescence is said not mysterious, just understand that in the space where the inner world, when subjected to the pain of foreign objects before tea aesthetic, spiritual space needed to squeeze heaps of things, try to comfort, static rather, set to heart, settled down, and began to enter the realm of aesthetic tea,  see the color of tea, the tea fragrance, taste of tea, tea in the form of aesthetic feeling, All this does not exactly belong to the realm of what the beauty of quiescence. Enjoy yourself with a cup of tea like Lapsang souchong black tea or green tea.
