Jingshan has been a window and bridge for cultural exchanges between China and Japan since ancient times. Jingshan tea banquet is an important content and main carrier of cultural exchange between the two countries, and it is also the origin of Japanese tea ceremony. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were frequent exchanges between Zen monks in China and Japan. Cao Dongzong and Lin Ji schools, which were popular in the south of the Yangtze River, were introduced to Japan, established their own schools and spread to Japan. Twenty of the 24 schools of Zen that appeared during the Japanese Muromachi shogunate came to help. Among the schools of Zen 14 formed in modern times, 13 all came from the Jingshan School of Zen in Lin Ji.

Qian Guangrong West, a Japanese monk who entered Song Qiufa twice, was honored at Jingshan Temple for praying for rain in the capital. After returning to China, he brought Tiantai Mountain tea, tea seeds, tea planting, tea-making techniques and tea-drinking etiquette, and wrote "Drinking Tea for Health", which introduced the methods of tea planting and drinking and the efficacy of tea, and was known as the "Cha Sheng" of Japan.

When Daoyuan, the founder of Japanese Cao Dongzong, entered the Song Dynasty to seek the Dharma, he also climbed Jingshan and asked. After returning to China, he formulated a series of rules and regulations according to the Baizhang rules and regulations of the Tang and Song Dynasties, which were collectively called Yongping rules and regulations. According to the banquet ceremony of Jingshan tea, he made detailed regulations on tea ceremony such as eating tea, walking tea and sitting in big tea soup, which had a far-reaching impact on the later Japanese tea ceremony.

According to the Encyclopedia of Japan in the18th century, Shao Ming Nanpu, a Japanese monk, introduced Jingshan Tea Banquet to Japan on 1259. This discovery provides an important historical document for demonstrating that Jingshan tea banquet is the source of Japanese tea ceremony. 18th century, the fourth volume of A Collection of Famous Objects, compiled by Yamaoka Mingjun, a master of Chinese studies in the middle of the Edo period in Japan, recorded that: "The tea banquet began in the middle of the first year (1259) and began in Shao Ming, Nanpu, Chongfu Temple in the former country. When I entered the Tang and Song Dynasties, I went to Jingshan Temple to visit Xutang and converted here. "

This historical record makes it clear that Japanese tea ceremony originated from Jingshan Tea Banquet in China, which is the "ironclad proof" that Jingshan Tea Banquet is the source of Japanese tea ceremony.
